I never, ever get tired of aubergines. This is one of my favourite ways of cooking them, and works for a speedy dinner! I baked them at 160C fan. Maple syrup works just as well as honey. 🙂 https://videopress.com/v/LMUwycax?preloadContent=metadata Stage one and stage two!

Smoky Tofu ‘Korma’
You are not allowed to run away just because I said the word tofu. No you are not. I am aware it is a foodstuff that can cause the collywobbles, as Western palates are just not used to it, plus often what we got here in the UK wasn't brilliant. I have made my own, …

Easy Baked Aubergine
Aubergines/eggplants are much maligned. I know that. But I love them so much! Here is a very simple way of cooking them, no fuss, and not a lot of mess. My friend Liese in Athens still makes this, many years after I gave her the recipe, and that makes me smile every time I think …
Plantain Not Quite Brioche Swirls
I follow many channels on YouTube, quite a few of which are food based. Surprising, yes? [/irony] There is one channel whose owner has such a relaxing voice, that I could probably listen to her reading the phone book to be honest, but when she's talking about her cooking, that's much better than Smith, Jones …
