Apple & Rhubarb Crumble Crisp

Who said you can’t have crumble for breakfast? Not in my house! Oats, cornflakes and fruit sounds good to me.

This is a revolutionary way of flavouring yoghurt. Add smoked paprika flakes or ground cumin, or make a sweet version with ground cinnamon and mixed spice. Or for another take, scatter with chopped herbs. See Lentils & Cavolo Nero with Spiced Yoghurt for a serving idea.

Le Croque Madame

Croque madame makes no apologies for being extra rich, gooey and drippy, and for being lip-smackingly good, filling and ultra satisfying.

Le Croque Monsieur

Sometimes the French get it just so right: bread, cheese, ham, all bundled together into the most glorious mouthful.

Smoked Paprika Peppers & Eggs

The picture doesn’t lie – this is scrumptious!

Golden, crunchy, crusty snitzels do it for me every time.

Tamarillos – golden and red beauties

When I grew up these little beauties were called tree tomatoes. Where does the name tamarillo come from?

Baked Eggs with Spinach, Ham & Basil

Ding Ding! Breakfast is served (or make that brunch, lunch or supper).

Hey, is this breakfast or dessert? You choose.

Bubble & Squeak Cakes

Bubble & Squeak … What a name!

Baked Eggs with Spinach, Ham & Basil

Dip, dunk, off you go …

Hot-smoked Salmon & Potato Hash Cakes

Nope. There’s no hash in these, no hemp either. Just loads of herbs, good old-fashioned spuds and tasty hot-smoked salmon.

Creamed Sweet Corn on Toasted Muffins

Brunch, lunch anytime ….

Lentils, Spinach & Eggs

Brunch or lunch? Your place or mine?

Eggs ‘n Avo

Eggs and avocados, an unlikely combination, and for breakfast? Whaaa? (That’s hands in the air screaming whaaaaattt?) It really didn’t ring my bell until I tried it, but now I am hooked.
