There’s something delightfully wicked about pouring vodka into a pan don't you agree?! What starts off undeniably alcoholic softens into a silky sauce that's rounded, robust and delicious! There's a reason why Italian food is up there with the best... even the most devoted of meat-lovers won’t miss a thing. Promise!

Finished with melting burrata and freshly smashed basil pesto, this Pasta Alla Vodka turns a quiet night in into the only plan worth keeping. Full recipe over on the blog (Link in Bio)

Bean keeping it simple 🫘👌 The pleasure here is in Bean keeping it simple 🫘👌

The pleasure here is in the texture: the beans softening at the edges, the orzo giving body without heaviness, the pesto lingering just long enough to send you back in. Before long there are quiet slurps, a scrape of spoon against bowl, and that unmistakable moment when someone gets up for just a "little more"

Swipe through for the full step-by-step, from building that golden onion base to toasting warm spices, browning chicken, and simmering everything down into the thickest, cosiest keema. The secret? Creamy beans + gentle spice = maximum comfort with minimum effort.

It’s hearty without being heavy, perfect with rice or naan, and somehow tastes even better the next day 

(I'm honestly not judging if you want this for breakfast next day... I did.... 🌚🌚)

Perfect for Sundays, snowy days, or any evening when you want dinner to feel like nothing but a bowl of pure comfort.

January taught me something about how I like to ea January taught me something about how I like to eat. Less defaulting to meat and more attention to vegetables.

Cooking meat-free for the month wasn’t a rule, just a choice — one that led me towards fish, vegetables, beans, eggs, and a lot more curiosity in the kitchen 🥬🐟 I didn’t miss it the way I thought I would.

February feels like the moment appetite settles back in properly. Food that satisfies, without explanation, I’m looking forward to seeing what the seasons bounty will bring for February 🤎💚

Hash is such a power move. 🤤🔥🤌 It forgives your f Hash is such a power move. 🤤🔥🤌

It forgives your fridge and rewards your laziness. Perfect for weekend Brunch. 

Brussel Sprouts get their redemption, the fiery Harissa keeps it interesting, the runny yolks tie it all together.

Worth the Catch 🐟🍋 This salad doesn’t insist on b Worth the Catch 🐟🍋

This salad doesn’t insist on being eaten immediately, although of course I would never judge if you did. Just warm, it’s generous. Left to cool, the flavours just get better! 

And the next day, straight from the fridge, it becomes firmer, brighter and somehow even more delicious. The feta softens, the courgettes stay sweet, and the salmon flakes obligingly into the orzo without turning the whole thing into mush.

There’s lemon, tons of herbs and enough olive oil to keep the grains glossy rather than claggy. I like it for lunch, though I’ve been known to take a fork to it at breakfast with no regret at all.

Lovely to make, lovelier to return to!

Eggs Rated 🤌🍳 Weekend brunch got a bit extra last Eggs Rated 🤌🍳

Weekend brunch got a bit extra last weekend! Soft eggs baked inside tiger rolls with spinach, feta and dukkah. Crisp edges, salty cheese, yolk running into the bread, all the good stuff. Feels a bit naughty, but then there’s spinach and lemon involved so we’re firmly in the “balanced” camp.For those who detest runny and soft yolks, I did some with scrambled eggs too. Still equally as delicious. 

10/10 would make again.
