This is the kind of recipe that you can really play with. If you are one for measuring ingredients with your eye & fresh eats, then you’ve come to the right place. If you like one ingredient more, then add some more. The recipe, as it is here, is vegan friendly but you can certainly […] Read more…
Are you a serial snacker (like me)? Or do you maybe live with serial snackers? Winnie the Pooh was right when he said: “What could be more important than a little something to eat?” As far as small bites are concerned, I recommend you add this recipe on rotation – for a small, fantastical edible […] Read more…

If 2020 was the year of no celebrations, 2021 can be coined the year of mini celebrations. I’m really hoping that 2022 – when I turn 40 – will be the year of big celebrations! One positive thing about the party drought of 2020 is that people now appreciate even the tiniest get-together or party […] Read more…

It is so versatile & can become anything from soup to spaghetti to stir fry & a gazillion other dishes in between. Whether you call it zucchini, courgette or baby marrow […] Read more…
