The following dialogue happened with the moving guys who moved my stuff over to the UK. “Please be careful with this box, it’s full of knives!” “…?” “Yeah, so many knives!” “…” “It’s quite heavy, because of the knives, I’m sorry!!” Nervous laughter. “Oh, I’m not a serial killer, I’m a chef!” I love knives. … Continue reading Knives … and other useful things
Soooooo… … I personally think I’m going to be furloughed for quite some time, so I am going to try and post daily recipes on this lovely blog and also tell you a bit more about me, my cooking and my favourite recipes and people. The rice balls are something I made up because spring … Continue reading Rice Balls with a Punch
Since the lockdown the days seem to be going by a bit blurry. I am normally a chef at a private boarding school, therefore I can’t work right now. On the one hand, that’s fantastic, since I can do all the things I said I couldn’t do before, because I lacked the time. I am … Continue reading Shakshuksha

This is my take on it – whenever I cook it, it’s pretty much gone within seconds. It’s a quick one pot dish, easy to prepare, easy to … Continue reading Lemony Parsley Pasta
Okay, confession time: I’m addicted to cold brew. I know, so 2016, it’s just “cold coffee” but.. NO! Did you just nod in agreement?! Come on, I saw it, no I felt it in my dark little heart! COLD BREW IS NOT JUST COLD COFFEE. Starbucks wants you to think that – in fact they … Continue reading Cold Brew Coffee
It is day 368 of the lockdown. Toilet paper and pasta are the new shares. Who needs mortgages if you have cheese, right?! I’ve been quiet lately. Reasons? I changed jobs – working in the pastry department of a large organic retailer was limiting my skill set too much and I got bored. December, January … Continue reading Mac and Cheese
On my instagram I asked what you guys would like to see next and a lot of people wanted a chilli sauce. My whole family loves hot food, especially my mum and me, although even my baby sister has been witnessed demolishing a good portion of wasabi that would have brought a grown man to … Continue reading Chilli Sauce (hot)
