Stilton, Potato & Caramelised Onion Tart 1 Jul 2013 | 02:58 pm
Whenever we go into a cheese shop the first thing my 2 year old son will do is ask for stilton. Usually at the top of his voice, much to the amusement of anyone in earshot. He's well known at both o...
Spicy Prawn Noodle Soup 24 Jun 2013 | 05:03 pm
Who knew there are calories in ground cumin? I watched Michael Mosley's Horizon documentary, Eat, Fast and Live Longer, on BBC2 last year with interest. Michael Mosley set himself the challenge to l...
Spanish Mackerel with Chickpeas & Pearled Spelt 20 Jun 2013 | 01:15 pm
There are times when I wander into the fishmonger with not the foggiest idea what I'm going to buy. Although probably a little frustrating for everyone queued up behind me as I um and ah, it does mea...
Earl Grey Fruit Loaf with Lemon & Lavender Icing 10 Jun 2013 | 03:25 pm
The best cakes are sometimes the simplest. A classic tea loaf has to be one of the easiest cakes to bake. Whether it's Yorkshire Tea Loaf, Bara Brith, Irish Tea Brack or one of the many other region...

Persepolis in Peckham is one of my all time favourite shops. What you can't buy there or learn about whilst you're shopping really isn't worth knowing. Each time I go I seem to pick up an ingredient...
My Tea Room at the Sunday Art Salon & a recipe for my favourite Carrot Cake 29 May 2013 | 05:23 pm
My first ever Tea Room. In a little kitchen and dining room, way up in the eaves, overlooking the glorious Hilly Fields in Brockley. A whole day spent serving freshly baked cakes, tarts and tea and ...
Roasted Cauliflower & Squash with Spiced Bulgur 3 Feb 2012 | 01:26 am
Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that has always failed to inspire me. I'm not talking about the fractal beauty that is the romanesco cauliflower, but the common or garden white variety. In my k...
Smoked Mackerel with Celeriac & Beetroot Remoulade 20 Jan 2012 | 03:00 am
The root vegetable mountain that grows in my kitchen at this time of year can become a little tedious after a while. Don't get me wrong, I love root veg, but if I see another beetroot or swede this mo...
