Nettle & Pine Nut Parcels with Whipped Feta

Laminated Wild Mushroom Ravioli

Laminated Wild Mushroom Ravioli with Parmesan Sauce

There are few things more satisfying in life than eating a delicious bowl of fresh pasta – even more so if you’ve made, rolled and filled it yourself. You need little equipment; a worktop, a rolling pin, a sharp knife and lots of elbow grease. A pasta machine will make life easier, particularly if you’re…

Beetroot Carpaccio, Pickled Blackberries, Halloumi & Granola

Beetroot Carpaccio, Pickled Blackberries, Halloumi & Granola

I adore the deep purple hue of beetroot and its sweet, earthy flavour. Paired with cheese and you have a match made in heaven.  I’ve teamed this beetroot carpaccio with a tempting savoury granola, with hints of fennel and pickled blackberries for acidity. Extra virgin rapeseed oil is fast becoming a staple in my kitchen. …

Spring asparagus soup

Chilled Spring Asparagus Soup

Asparagus is one of the better-known spring vegetables, although we only get to enjoy its short season for around seven to eight weeks. We welcome asparagus in late April and then the season ends in June.  Take advantage while you can, I’d say! That’s why I’ve created this fresh spring-like recipe for you.  We’re experiencing…

Mezze Table

Muhammara Dip with Pitta Bread

I just like something really tasty to eat. Actually, I like it if I’m offered three or four small delicious plates from which I can choose. The way we eat has changed dramatically, far more appealing than the strict, formal, starter, main course and side dish.  Relaxed dining with multiple dishes in the centre of…

Charred Courgette & Sumac Dip

Sumac Spiced Courgette Dip

It’s virtually impossible to grow courgettes without getting a glut? They grow so very easily and rapidly and virtually pest free. So what to do with them? Well I wanted to share this recipe with you as although it’s not the prettiest dish, it’s packed full of flavour and utilises a fair amount of the…

Turmeric Houmous with Lightly Pickled Beetroot & Spelt Flatbreads

I can’t remember when I first tasted houmous but I do remember loving the garlicky chickpea dip. Once upon a time in the West it was an ethnic delicacy with a hippy following, now its available in every supermarket! This ancient peasant dish – the authentic version contains chickpeas, mashed and flavoured with sesame seed…

Warm Winter Salad of Beetroot, Kale & Creamed Goats’ Cheese

I’ve enjoyed the pleasure of growing my own vegetables, for a few consecutive years, but the french partridge and pigeons feasted more on my bounty than myself! I gave up. The location of my garden is just too exposed to the local wildlife! So when I discovered a local supplier Maxwell and Webb Potager who were…

Moutabel & Yogurt Flatbread

Smoky Aubergine Moutabel with Yogurt Flatbreads

I have spoken at length about my Swedish heritage on my mother’s side but I haven’t yet mentioned that my father was born in Egypt to Maltese parents, I know, I’m an eclectic mix of cultures and nationalities. Many Italians lived in Cairo at that time so this influenced the way they cooked. Both my…

Wild Garlic Garganelli 🌱 What do you do when y Wild Garlic Garganelli 🌱

What do you do when you find yourself with lots of wild garlic and a delivery of fresh eggs? You make pasta of course!  With the season just beginning, it’s just too tempting not to use these fragrant leaves in just about everything.
What have you been making with your wild garlic?
