A few weeks ago I went to Ottolenghi’s new restaurant, ROVI, with some friends. We all had some delicious drinks to start and their gin sour cocktail had caught my eye – my mum had mentioned it to me as she’d been to the…

I held a little Christmas dinner at my flat this week for some of my friends. Since I’m basically veggie and one of my friends is vegan I just went full on plant-based for the meal. I made a super delicious hassleback squash with…
