When I worked with a wonderful Korean lady, she spoke of drinking lemon tea when she had a cold. I looked this up to see if I could get some to surprise her, and it turned out to be more of a jam! You add boiling water to 2 spoonfuls of the preserved sweetened fruit, …

Cypriot Inspired Bread Pudding
Last time I made bread pudding, amongst the wave of Good Old British nostalgia that overtakes me every time I make it, there was a small voice whispering to me as I stirred the milk into the chunks of bread."Maybe this would work with other flavours. Maybe this would work with tahini. Thought about rose …
Spelt Flour Koulourakia–Easter Cookies
I try to make these every Easter. Buttery, short cookies that are moreish and come flavoured with orange or lemon or vanilla. As I had no fresh oranges, I decided to go with orange blossom water, orange extract and mastiha, seeing as I had some left over from making the savoury hot cross buns. I …
Blood Orange, Almond and Pistachio Cake
I have finally succumbed to the blood orange fever that's been going around instagram and Twitter.I will now admit to never having actually eaten a blood orange, so after everyone was going on about them, I thought I should. Once I'd seen this recipe by Kellie at Food to Glow, then I really knew I …
Seasonal Salad
I do love a good salad. Not the old British version that was a strip of lettuce, a tomato, a few slices of cucumber and some salad cream – though there is a place for that, and I love salad cream – but a full on, flavour packing plate of different flavours and textures. I …

Inspector Montalbano; enabler.
He is you know. That entire series just exists solely to enable my cravings for pasta. Not just pasta. To be more specific, my cravings usually centre around spaghetti. Every time I watch an episode, he is somewhere eating either caponata, fresh fish or spaghetti. Last night it was spaghetti con vongole, and spaghetti with …
No churn lemon curd ice cream.
This is all Kavey’s fault. No, really, it is. If she hadn’t run her Bloggers Scream for Ice-cream then this would never have come to my attention. I always read, because I like ice cream on occasion, but it has to be creamy, and definitely with NO ICE CRYSTALS. I don’t own an ice cream …
Mojito anyone?
I do not drink alcohol. I cannot drink it, as I am allergic to it and it makes me feel very bad after only a teaspoonful as my friends can attest. It's not a problem at all, except on hot, sunny days when a mojito sounds just about the best thing ever. Apart from the …
