There is a lady called Nisha Katona who has fast become one of my heroes. Not just as a food hero, but as a hero in general. Her food is stunning, and her attitude to business, people and life…well, it’s safe to say that I admire her greatly. She posted something on Instagram recently that …

Sabrina Ghayour’s Khoresh e Ghormeh Sabzi
A long time ago I met a lady. I suspect we met via Twitter – as I have met many of my good friends – and we tweeted back and forth a lot. One day we had a sofa day at her flat, she cooked me Thai Green Curry, I met her lovely mum, and …
Red Cross Foodie Fest dinner
A while ago now, I saw an ad for the Red Cross Foodie Fest. You send them a text, they send you a spice pack, with recipes, place mats, and information. Win! (It’s finished now, but keep an eye out for future events.) Explore a world of flavour with our unique world food tasting experience …
Spring has Sprung, and it’s emerald green.
Spring is one of my favourite times. It speaks of renewed hope - and let's face it, we need all that we can get at the moment - and it calls to us as the soil warms again and the sap rises.One of the joys of seasonal eating is that you get to enjoy things …
Spicy Pork and Cucumber Stir Fry
I saw this when I was looking for another recipe, and it got stuck in my brain. I always think cucumber is such a woefully underappreciated vegetable, that I am happy to find more ways to use it. Cucumbers aren’t just for salads, even though I find them to be one of my must have …
The Sheesh, Bury St Edmunds
We visited The Sheesh for the first time yesterday, and I can safely say we will ABSOLUTELY be going again. Mum and Dad have been telling us how good it was, so we were very happy to get the chance. I've eaten a lot of Turkish food, my mum lives in Northern Cyprus, and …
Comfort Soup: Quick Fasolada
I have a feeling that cheap and cheerful comfort foods are going to be big on the menu for a while. It was so cold today, I couldn’t shake it from my bones, no matter how I wrapped up, and so some sort of soup was on my mind when I got in from work. …
Savisto Coffee Grinder
Please welcome my new kitchen friend to this page. Isn’t it cute? Yes, I am aware that it looks a little like a red Dalek. This is in no way a bad thing as far as I am concerned. And no, every time I press the button I do not say “CAFFEINATE! CAFFEINATE” That would …
Rock, Rolls and Hollywood
I’ve always had a difficult relationship with bread. Don’t get me wrong, I love eating it, but the baking of it was always a bit of a mystery, and a challenge. With regards to eating it, I like it rather too much for my own good, to be honest. I’m one of those lucky people …
Carrot, Fig and Walnut Muffins
This is based on a Jamie Oliver recipe. It’s the sweet potato muffins from a few weeks ago, but changed around a bit. This whole thing can be done in the food processor. 400g carrots – don’t bother peeling, but wash if grubby, obviously. 200g demerara sugar (original recipe asked for 400g, just not needed.) …
