Fudgy Oreo Cheesecake Brownies
When I first started sharing recipes here I didn’t know that it would begin “to hold, as ’twere, the mirror up to nature”. Didn’t know you were going to get a little Hamlet with your brownies, did you? But it is so, so true. Because I’m not a “professional content creator” (meant more in the […]
Pork and Gruyere Stuffed Peppers
Flexibility is the key to so much happiness in life. Being able to set aside your expectations so you can engage with what is actually happening transforms experiences. That might seem like a very existential beginning to a recipe post but it typifies this dish for me. Once upon a time it was a recipe […]
Chocolate Biscoff Butter Bars
Apologies for the very small slice of bar in the photo. It was the last of the pan and, honestly, I feel lucky I got a shot of anything at all. These bars had a slow start in the house but once word got out I basically turned around and they were gone girl. The […]
Super Easy Nutella Sandwich Cookies
When we have Nutella in this house it generally has a very short lifespan unless I hide it high up at the back of a shelf or somewhere the boys would never look for it, like in the laundry room. This particular jar was bought to make Nutella ice cream as a Father’s Day treat […]
Creamy Lentil Aubergine Dhal
Eventually this recipe was going to end up here if for no other reason than the book it currently lives in is on its last legs. It is a 1994 copy of Vegetarian Cooking by Louise Pickford. I believe it’s out of print now which always leaves me with a conundrum – to keep the […]

Citrus Cake with Cream Filling
Cakes like this make me suspicious. The recipe sold itself as essentially a one step, one bowl cake plus icing. And it really is just that. Which is what makes me suspicious. Most of the time when you’re looking at a cake recipe the instructions are very specific about what goes in when and how […]
Spaghetti alla Puttanesca
It seems you aren’t able to come across a recipe for puttanesca on the internet without someone mentioning sex workers in Naples. I’m not a person who believes you can pinpoint much about history in a way that reflects anything more than the knowledge and bias of the person holding the pen so, while it […]
Horseradish Kohlrabi Slaw
Earlier this spring I signed up with OddBox which is a company that is fighting food waste by focusing on saving fruit and veg from farms by buying the things that have been overproduced or that grocery stores think are too weird to put on the shelf. I very much believe in their mission and […]
Chana Masala / Chickpea Curry
When I was living on a tight budget, a period of time that lasted about twelve years, I ate a lot of chana masala. You could get a really good one at Trader Joes that came in a vacuum packed pouch so all I had to do to have a decent dinner was make some […]
