As a general rule a buttery fried egg is always delicious but this harissa butter takes it up a notch. Melt the butter and harissa together until bubbling and fry the egg until it’s crispy round the edges and glistening in the vibrant harissa butter.
Read MoreA very good recipe for the weekend, these pancakes always go down with great success. Sub for gluten-free flour if you like. I have tested them this way and the result is equally delicious.
Read MoreIt is no secret that chocolate and sea salt are a good match but coffee and sea salt are an excellent pairing too. I try to make one of these smoothies at least twice a week for an energy boost and hit of the good stuff. I say try, it really takes little effort at all.

Read MoreThis cake is chocolatey, bananary and has super squidge. A shot of coffee really makes the chocolate flavour sing (even if you aren’t a coffee drinker it’s worth it).
Read MoreI made these for Fenwicks to celebrate Shrove Tuesday. Blood oranges are delicious at this time of year, but if you can’t find them regular oranges will do too. I love to add a splash of amaretto for a boozy kick but feel free to omit. Just don’t miss out on the crushed amaretti biscuits as they add a wonderful crunch.

Read MoreLockdown 2.0 was the catalyst for these buns. I woke up one morning with a hungry determination to master sourdough cinnamon buns. My sourdough bread was just about there and I thought why not! It took me more than a couple of attempts to reach what I was looking for – a buttery enriched pillowy dough with the complex almost nutty flavor that comes from working with sourdough.

I love the colour of this dish. I’ve served it up on toasts but you can enjoy the beetroot as a dip or even as dolloped onto a salad. The dukkah is a great way to finish up any odds and ends of nuts and seeds and spices you’ve got lying around. I’ve given quantities below but feel free to
Read MoreMy local greengrocer had a glut of British plums that were going soft. He let me fill my bag much to my glee. I love baking plums when they are on the turn. The squishiness makes them all the better. The chai cashew cream has a beautiful warmth to it from the spices that pairs perfectly with the slight tang of the fruit. I like to top mine with something crunchy.
