Stories to Satisfy your Hunger
I have been experimenting with avocado lately. The fruit is widely used, but often in very simple ways. If you have seen one avocado toast then you have seen them all. Nothing wrong with that but I feel that there are more interesting recipes to do with avocados. So I created this lovely fragrant avocado butter. It's …
I made a recipe like this a while ago for this blog, but I wanted to make these yummy treats for my cousin and his girlfriend fiancée. However, it needed to be gluten-free. So I took the base of the recipe and started to experiment with it. I had to change some of the ingredients …
Spring is just around the corner. The trees are still bare, but there are signs that it’s coming like the fresh smell of cut grass, flowers everywhere, new leaf buds and herbs.

I stared at the little bundle of green leaves in the shop. £2.79 for 50g is ridiculous for wild garlic! In spring the forest is carpeted with it. I could step outside with my eyes closed and still be able to pick handfuls of the leaves just based on smell. It should not cost much …
I normally don’t like fruit in savoury dishes. I find the sweetness clashes with the other stronger flavours. I can still remember being given curries with pineapple, apples, and tinned cherries. I think it left a mark on me and has made me avoid putting them in savoury dishes for a long time. A feast …
On these cold dreary nights, where the promise of summer’s warmth is far off, there is nothing better than hot chocolate. Rich, dark and creamy, it helps lift the winter blues that still hang around this time of year. But have you ever wanted to be able to eat your mug after finishing your hot …
