After having Korean fried chicken in a restaurant a while ago, *that* spicy gochujang sauce stuck in my mind. It’s like a grown up version of the sauce on sweet & sour chicken. I made it at home, using it to coat crispy tofu…
Although sometimes I like a bao filling which takes a bit more time to prep, these asparagus bao are super fast to make. I keep frozen unfilled bao on hand which only take 5 minutes to heat up so this is a good one…
Over the past few years there has been an explosion of bao restaurants in London. These soft and fluffy steamed buns are incredibly delicious and usually not too pricey. BUT you can make them at home which can be a fun weekend ‘project’ to…

Broccoli Soup with Coconut, Coriander & Noodles (Vegan)
When I was writing the proposal for my second cookbook, one of the first recipes I’d made for it was a Thai green pea soup. This recipe is kind of a riff on that but instead has broccoli soup as its base with lots…

Filo Tart with Broccoli & Ricotta
Filo tarts were a mainstay in my house at uni. Along with curry nights, filo pie was a favourite to cook together and share. I’m definitely more of a savoury tart/pie person (weirdly) and filo is a great pastry for dinner time since it’s…

Celeriac Risotto with Crispy Mushrooms (+ instantpot method)
I made this celeriac risotto a few weeks ago for our Valentine’s meal and we fell in love with it! Risotto is one of those dishes that I always forget about. Then I remember, I make it, and I’m like ‘DAMN, RISOTTO IS SO…

Hassleback Squash with Garlic-Sage Butter
Hassleback squash!! Look at it!! So fancy!! Andy yet, deceptively simple to make. The idea here is that we’re creating the most surface area on our butternut squash so that the garlic-sage butter (uh huh!) seeps into all the gaps for maximum coverage. So…

Aquafaba Grapefruit Gin Sour Cocktail (+ a Chickpea Pomegranate Dip)

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Garlic, Lemon and Parmesan
Brussels sprouts are vegetables I always forget about. Not because I hate them or don’t like cooking with them, but I think in my mind they’re ‘reserved’ for Christmas time. When I discovered roasted Brussels sprouts were a ‘thing’ a few years ago when they…

Charred tomatoes with cold yoghurt (Ottolenghi)
I’m moving out of my parent’s home next Monday!! One step closer to being a real adult, uh oh. As my mum and dad were leaving for a holiday this week, we had a goodbye dinner for me and my boyfriend featuring this charred…
