🦀 Soft white crab meat, stirred into a pan of s 🦀 Soft white crab meat, stirred into a pan of simmering tomatoes and garlic, becomes something more than the sum of its parts. A splash of wine adds lightness; lemon, a clean cut of freshness. And then the herbs — not a flourish, but a quiet lift , giving the whole dish that sense of care we so often forget to give ourselves.

It’s a supper you can make almost without thinking, and better yet it’s ready in just under fifteen minutes!

Some suppers just swagger onto the table — gloss Some suppers just swagger onto the table — glossy grains with proper bite, soft ribbons of egg, sweet flakes of crab, and that warm, fermented hum of gochujang.

This is “quick luxury” I live for — weeknight-easy, weekend-worthy, and absolutely banging in under 20 minutes.

I built this when a cold tub of rice needed redemption. The crab adds richness, the lime cuts through, and the sesame oil finishes everything off with that last whisper of indulgence.

Keats’ Ode to Autumn whispers through the fading fog beyond the garden gate—an ode to quiet abundance and timeless beauty.

Sea You In Sicily 🎣🇮🇹 There’s somethin Sea You In Sicily 🎣🇮🇹

There’s something undeniably seductive about this kind of dinner.

Not because it tries too hard — in fact, it barely tries at all And I won’t pretend it always turns out quite the same way. But that’s the joy of it, the caponata is forgiving. The fish is fast. The oven does most of the heavy lifting while you pour something cold and sit down to wait for the scent of garlic and tomatoes to fill the room.

Serve it straight from the tray, not much more is needed.

Baked, Flaked…. GONE 🐟🐟 Flaky cod, smoky Baked, Flaked…. GONE 🐟🐟

Flaky cod, smoky chorizo, and soft roasted tomatoes — this recipe looks after itself in the oven but tastes like you’ve gone to real effort.

I love the way the chorizo oil seeps into everything — the potatoes, the fish, even the edges of the tray. Bold, rustic, and a little bit indulgent.

You’ll need extra crusty bread for mopping up 🫠
