Gingered Fruit Salad

Colourful, crunchy, juicy, tangy and with a balanced minty ginger bite, a bowl of fresh fruit salad is the perfect end to a summer’s meal.

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!

Spicy Potato, Red Onion & Pepper Bake

Sometimes all you want is a ‘big monty’ breakfast or brunch. Make this the base and add eggs, fried tomatoes and baby sausages. Mm-mmm.

Golden ‘n Fluffy Cornbread

Easy cornbread recipe using polenta and olive oil.

Chelsea buns animation

Watch it … then make it!
Happy Easter.

Baked Field Mushrooms with Smoked Paprika

It’s all about that golden crispy topping!

Blood Peach Crumble

Crumble for breakfast? You betcha, should there be any left.

Apricot Panettone Pudding

Rich, sweet and creamy … thank goodness the sourness of apricots takes the edge off!

Mango & Strawberries – summer in a bowl

Could there be a better fruit combination than strawberries and mango? Doubt it.

A messy Sunday night supper – asparagus & eggs

Mmmm. If you love eggs, and you love asparagus, it’s time to dunk!

Pork Snitzels with Parmesan Crust

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).

Sautéed Spiced Persimmons

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. I’ve made a few adjustments, as you do. I can’t eat it for breakfast, as it is too rich, too filling, just too […]

Fresh Sweet Corn Fritters

Brunch, lunch, munch … sweet corn fritters with the ‘works’ are hard to resist.

Making an omelette

I don’t know why people don’t cook omelettes more often. They’re so quick, so tasty and so utterly satisfying, that it’s almost criminal to think of dashing off to buy fast food when there’s an egg or two in the pantry.
