This is a slightly different take on my tried and tested series today. I hadn’t actually planned to try out this recipe, but I had a day off and I was watching old episodes of Jamie’s Superfood on All4 while drinking my morning coffee, saw this and realised I actually had most of the ingredients…

Ali’s Flatbreads
Making bread is one of those things in cooking that a lot of people avoid with the excuse of ‘It’s too complicated’ or ‘It takes too long’ or ‘It’s not worth the effort when I can buy it in the supermarket’. Let me tell, you it is WELL with the effort and with this recipe…
Tartine Bakery & Café, San Francisco
On my to do list whilst visiting San Francisco was a delightful bakery called Tartine. After a busy day of China Town, trams and shopping we realised it was way too late to stop in there for a spot of lunch but figured we could pop in to get a cake or a pastry and save…
Smoky Chicken with Spicy Ratatouille and Giant Croutons
One of the greatest things I have learned from Jamie Oliver is that bashing chicken out flat with a rolling pin is great. It’s a technique he uses frequently in both his 30 Minute Meals and 15 Minute Meals books. Not only is it really fun and quite therapeutic, it also means that by increasing…
Ponti’s Italian Kitchen, Oxford Circus
Having had a little time off work lately, one day I decided to treat myself to a day out shopping in the West End. I took a little break from my hard days shopping to meet my sister for lunch and was delighted to have somewhere new to try when she told me to meet…
Spiced Banana Loaf
For my birthday this year two of my oldest friends got me such a great foodie gift: a subscription to the monthly spiceboxes from The Spicery. The Spicery sends you all the spices you need to do a curry night in for four people, so you can forget the takeaways! My first month’s box gave me everything I needed…
Garlic & Herb Rolls
I’ve been wanting to make some more bread again for a while now and I’ve finally gotten round to it. As I’ve already done a basic white loaf on the blog I had a little look around for recipe ideas and inspiration when I stumbled across these delicious looking pull apart rolls from Tickling Palates….
Sweet Onion & Mozzarella with Pesto & Tomato Bruschetta Platter
I was doing a big dinner for my family and The Boyfriend last weekend and I wanted to make a starter to go with it, something really tasty but also quick and simple so that I could quickly throw it together while the main dish was cooking. Running with my Italian theme (the main was beef…
Bellaria, Fitzrovia
If you’ve been keeping up to date with recent blog posts you’ll know that I’ve recently started a new job and left my beloved Soho behind. Okay, so Fitzrovia is hardly a million miles away, but it means I’ve got a whole load of new restaurants and cafés to explore. Yesterday evening I began doing…
White Bread Loaf
This week’s Sunday Bake is a basic one but a special one as it is the first time I have made bread… ever. Eek! When I decided to bake bread I was tempted to get all experimental and make some sort of exciting flatbread or experiment with flavours and use an enriched dough, mainly inspired…
