Day 284 of Lockdown: Pizza, Anyone?

Here’s one thing we should be talking about more: lockdown lethargy. Like many others, I had ambitions.  Dreams. I’d walk out of lockdown with a bubble-butt and abs you could grate cheese on. I subscribed to the Chloe Ting trend and fought the good fight against my stomach rolls. I’ll give myself some credit here […]

The Ultimate Guacamole Recipe

Avocados are one of my favourite foods. They’re an amazingly blank canvas to add some flavour to and can be used in so many dishes.

Beef & Mulled Wine Casserole Recipe

It’s an overcast Saturday morning in the midst of November. My Christmas decorations are up prematurely and drinking mulled wine has become a daily habit.

Spicy Tuna Melts Recipe

We created this one on a whim… Picture the scene: a rainy Tuesday evening. A fresh pot of tea, brewing quietly in the background. Fluffy socks and weary heads. The craving for comfort food is intense. But we’re not talking beans on toast here. We’re taking things up a notch. A beautiful blend of herbs […]

Paneer Curry with a Citrus Twist

Self-isolation was fun, for the first few days. Binge-watching the series you never had time to commit to, picking up the book you intended to finish in high school. Maybe you’re feeling extra fruity and you’ve taken up jogging. But let’s face it – it’s depressing. You’re watching re-runs of Friends. You miss your mates. […]
