This is toad in the hole, Asian style! I’m a big fan of the original, but even with my favourite recipes sometimes I like to mix things up and do what I call ‘desi style’, so instead of sausages this contains meatballs, made from mince that’s spiced gently and cooked with chunks of onions, then […]

Pulled Chicken Doughnuts
Doughnuts filled with chicken, need I say more? But seeing as you’re here and I have your attention, I will. These doughnuts are filled with a quick-cooked shredded chicken, then fried and covered in a delicious savoury-sweet dust. If anyone didn’t know these were savoury, they could be fooled. This recipe is worth a try […]
Caramel Crunch
Rocky Road
There are few rules where rocky road is concerned, but it must be chewy, crunchy and gooey and, of course, contain lots of chocolate. This recipe has all of that and layers too! A gooey layer of chocolate-caramel sweets and melted chocolate mixed with breadsticks for a super-crispy crunch, then a layer of bright salted […]
Teriyaki Salmon with Mango Salsa
A good teriyaki is made even more delicious when the fish is left to sit in the sauce overnight in the fridge, but there is nothing to say that it can’t be instant. It can, and it should be. We can have delicious food and eat it straight away. Best of all, you can make […]
Smoky Spinach Shakshuka
Sometimes I crave something really green to start the day, and this recipe is a great way to get loads of iron-rich spinach into the system first thing in the morning. It beats a bright green juice or smoothie concoction – I’d need the intentions of an angel to drink one of those. I will […]
Halloumi Curry with Coconut Sambal
I love a bit of fusion cooking, and this is fusion at its best. I first ate this at my beautiful friend Ani’s house, and it was so delicious I had to recreate it. A simple curry, minus traditional paneer – because I don’t always have paneer in the fridge at home and many supermarkets […]
Caramelised Biscuit Traybake
From the moment I first made these cinnamon goodies I have been addicted. They are delicious, and there is nothing better than incorporating warm cinnamon flavours into a cake. These can be cut into squares and frozen, so you don’t have to eat them all at once unless you really want to. Preheat the oven […]
Honey Mustard
Chow Mein
Chow mein is the easiest thing to order, but even easier to make. I love the flavours of honey mustard, so I’m keeping it simple. I also whip-up a double batch and skewer half the chicken for the freezer, so if I have to make a quick lunch or need something to whack on a […]
Eclair Roll
This recipe is for anyone who loves éclairs, but wishes they took less time to make. Of course, you could simply buy one from the shop and, believe me, when I need my fix I often do, and gobble it up before the kids can lay eyes on it. But for those who prefer their […]
Feta and Dill
Savoury Muffins
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cases. Put the flours, baking powder and salt in a bowl, and stir everything together. Now add the milk, egg, cottage cheese, melted butter, feta cheese, mustard, dill and black pepper. Mix it all together and spoon into muffin cases. Top each muffin […]
