Forget the boring salad leaves, cumbersome cucumber, tired tomato, relentless onion, overly-used olive oil, gimmicky fancy vinegar and other what-have-you’s. If you’re like me, you’ll be just after the champion chicken and morish mango anyway, so why bother faffing about with the former ingredients if you could have just the star ingredients on your plate?

First of all I’d like to thank Margot of Coffee and Vanilla for nominating me in November’s Inspiring Food Photography. Competition is indeed tough, considering I’m up against Suganya of Tasty Palettes and Leemei of My Cooking Hut. Go and take a look, but don’t forget: VOTE FOR ME! Just kidding. Not really. Come on, [...]
Eagerly refreshing the Daring Bakers’ Challenge page every hour I let out a big sigh of relief when I saw it’s not going to be a humungous layer cake. These cakes were definitely not doing my diet any good. Having eaten authentic Lavash in Istanbul (Turkey), I was somewhat puzzled by the “cracker” part. I [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present you another classic British sandwich you will find on just about every shop’s shelf on this small isle. It took me ages to get around to trying one, since the idea of eating cold sweet corn didn’t appeal to me in the least. Starving after hours on the road [...]
A while back I decided to cut wheat from my diet for a whole year. One of the first things I did was stock up on oatcakes. They do make life a little bit easier and you can still enjoy your favourite toppings like Smoked Salmon Pâté or cheese on them. When Gabriel started eating [...]
With entries for this month’s SnackShots streaming in I started feeling a little bit uneasy. It just wouldn’t be kosher for the hostess not to take part as well, right? So here is my entry in all its glory and very healthy indeed.
Little Gabriel loves these muffins, even though he has no molars to [...]
In an effort to make lunch a little bit more interesting than an awfully average cheese sandwich, I’ve posted recipes for two different fillings so far: Egg mayonnaise & cress and Goat’s Cheese, Sundried Tomato & Walnut. Watch out, here comes another very eggy sandwich your way! Scrambled egg on toast is as famous as [...]
It has long been known that goat’s cheese and sundried tomatoes is a match made in heaven. Since I’ve been on a diet I miss this sandwich dearly. It’s hard to resist the creaminess of the goat’s cheese, tanginess of the tomato and crunchiness of the nuts. Yes, this sandwich has got a lot of [...]
A few months ago I raved about Kabocha Squash and I’ll do it again. To my heart’s delight I saw this week while shopping that Waitrose has decided to stock up on Kabocha and Butternut Squashes that are both my favourites. Just maybe the Brits are catching up on the magnificence of the pumpkin. The [...]
