Erbazzone
Erbazzone is sweet, earthy, savoury and salty, with contrasting textures of moist filling held between flakes of buttery, salty pastry. Heaven.
Bring them home for an Italian feast this weekend
Italians don’t need much of an excuse to get together and share good food – they do it most days – but 2nd June is significant in the modern history of Italy as it commemorates when, in 1946, after the second world war and the downfall of fascism, Italians went to the polls to vote to either retain the monarchy or to abolish it and form a republic.
Polenta Pie with Eggplant
Holey Moley, this is just the thing for a freeze-ball night. And it feeds a crowd, and reasonably cheaply, too. BUT there are a few steps to it and it’s not the sort of thing to try and whip up at 6.00pm.
Witloof in the Pan
Cooked this way witloof is reminiscent of artichokes. Scrumptious.
Moroccan Chicken
Mint and cumin, ginger, cinnamon and chilli, and almonds, prunes and figs, and, oh, chicken. This is spectacular!
Nuts
A sprinkle of chopped toasted nuts adds more than crunch…
Things falling off trees
This blog is about things falling off trees … I was sitting here tucked up nice and cosy at my place with the cats at my feet, supposedly working, and I was admiring the trees outside the window. They’re ablaze with golden and russet leaves and I wasn’t thinking about much else as I enjoyed […]
Radicchio Salad with Caper Dressing
Sock it to ’em with this salad – colour and crunch and gutsy flavours with a bitter-sweet edge.

The warm Muzzies!
Whether you call her mum, mom, mummy or mother, or some kind of cutsie name like ‘mushja’, it’s time for a case of the warm ‘muzzies’ this Sunday. By that I mean, it’ll be Mother’s Day in most parts of the world and time to spoil your mum. Take her a cup of tea in […]
Roasted Lamb Nuggets with Anchovy, Bacon & Shallot Stuffing
This one will ring all the bells – roasted lamb bursting with flavour and deliciously juicy, and so easy to carve. Makes a little lamb go a long way.

Heart-shaped egg
For an over-the-top version, serve with bacon and tomatoes, and dust the hot egg with flakes of fresh parmesan. Bliss.
Egg in the Hole
These are so cute you’ll be making doubles!
Fluffy Pancakes with Maple Syrup
Light and fluffy, with a nice little tang from buttermilk – scrumptious fluffy pancakes.
More than cute – they’re edible!
Ah yes, hippiedom, flower power, all of that, but no, actually, these flowers are for eating not sticking in a vase or around your hair. And pretty they look, too.
