I love cinnamon rolls – the Starbucks cinnamon swirl is a total addiction and the fact I work for the company that bakes it makes it worse! In my view, the guys at Fabrique Bakery do the best cinnamon rolls in London and I recently purchased a load there. With a couple left over, couldn’t…

Recipe – Squash, Ginger and Chilli Soup (Vegan and good with Pumpkin too!)
Autumn is a double whammy, the weather closes in and soup becomes more appealing, and we get a glut of squash and pumpkin. This recipe is lovely, a little kick of chilli and ginger, and it’s vegan too (with a little adjustment). Yum! For 6-8 servings, you will need: 1½ kg peeled and deseeded squash or…
Recipe – Indian Dirty Fries with Crispy Bhaji Onions (Vegan)
The rise of street food has given us some amazing food innovations but nothing is as good as the march of ‘dirty’ food. Over-the-top, indulgent foods from the fast-food side of haute cuisine, they are irresistible. My friend Jonny put together this recipe for Indian Dirty Fries, a fantastic vegan dish everyone can enjoy. You’ll…
Recipe – Broccoli and Stilton Quiche (Vegetarian)
Another day another quiche! I love pastry too much to stay away from it in hot weather and quiche is a great versatile meal centre, hot or cold. Here’s my favourite vegetarian version, really good, super mature Stilton is key! To feed to up 6, you will need: 1 roll shortcrust pastry 150g tenderstem broccoli,…
Recipe – Courgetti Ragu with Sauté Potatoes
I’ve been experimenting with meat-free meals which don’t scrimp on flavour and texture. I’d also never tried ‘courgetti’ which is all the rage, a spiralised courgette that looks like spaghetti. So I gave it a go! This is a great meal the family will enjoy and happens to be vegan too. To feed two adults…
Recipe – Asparagus, Lemon and Pecorino Pasta
I do look at a lot of the supermarket recipe cards they like to give away, for inspiration and maybe finding an ingredient I’ve never used before. I always like to try my own little twist on things so with thanks to Waitrose, here’s my version of a recent recipe from them. It makes a…
Recipe – Gluten Free Sage and Onion Stuffing
For health reasons, my wife has cut out wheat from her diet, but she still loves all the trimmings that come with a Sunday roast, especially stuffing! So I’ve tweaked my Sage and Onion Stuffing recipe to create a really great gluten free version. To serve 4-6, you will need: 4 slices stale white gluten…
Recipe – Sage & Onion Stuffing (Vegetarian)
This is one of those things that is a default ‘packet’ part of your cooking but is relatively simple to do yourself and tastes so much better! I swear, once you try it, you’ll never go back to a packet 🙂 To serve 4-6, you will need: 6 slices stale white bread with crusts removed…
Recipe – Ham & Cheese Mini Frittatas
Quick and easy ‘throw together’ family meals are a wonderful thing, especially if they use stuff you probably have knocking about. These are great kid-friendly meal centres which are easy to do and you can mix the ingredients to anything your kids like. To make 6, for 2 grown ups and 2 kids, you will…
Recipe – Cauliflower Cheese
This is one of those things that many people feel is best left to ready-meal territory; too hard to make yourself or a bit of a faff. Actually, it’s not that tricky and can easily be fitted into doing a roast. You will need: Head of cauliflower 200ml milk 25g plain flour 150g Cheddar cheese…
