No, not a sponge cake. This is a delicious, savoury cake of subtly flavoured and spiced steamed parsnip. Those of you familiar with dim sum restaurants may know it as Turnip Cake, but Chinese Turnip is hard to get where I live unless I make a special trip. What I did have, however, was a …

Tarte Tatain’t
It's not made with pastry, and there's no syrupy glaze but what there is, is cheese. And it was cooked upside down so there we go. 1 large potato, peeled if you like, cut into rough dice, about 1" x 1"4 medium parsnips, peeled and diced the sameOlive oilSalt1 tsp rose harissa paste or to …
An Autumnal Bake
Another using up bits in the vegetable box recipe. The weather is definitely shouting Autumn at me.

I, on the other hand, eat pretty much all vegetables, …
A mini Christmas, all of my own.
It’s been a bit of a whirlwind of job applications and agency interviews recently, so much so that my brain has been distinctly frazzled when it comes to cooking, churning out the same old thing because it’s easy. My usuals are okay, but every so often I need a change. I was on my way …
East London Steak Company saves Christmas
Well, okay, Christmas wasn’t in danger of being banned or anything, but I certainly had a lack of The Christmas Feeling. Having a husband with Norovirus will do that, certainly to him! You see, we had a wonderful thing lurking in our fridge. It had arrived on the Tuesday and I was very excited to …
Harry Eastwood’s Parsnip Vanilla Fudge
Yes, yes, I know. Parsnip. That’s right, parsnip. That faux potato that lurks in a tray of roasties at Christmas, looking all golden and beguiling until you bite into it and realise…NOT A POTATO. I used to hate them with a passion. The only reason I tolerated them as a child was because I found …
