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 …
Is this spring particularly good for violets or have I just not noticed them before. I see them everywhere in full bloom, little purple jewels hiding in the forest under the brush. Their sweet, almost grape like scent wafting through the air. And the best bit is that the amazing flowers are edible. They can …
Fresh pasta is a wonderful thing to make, but I find that people often get scared that it will be too difficult. Don’t worry. It's very easy. If you are using a food processor, the hardest bit is already done for you, but I like to make it by hand as it gives me more …
