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…

Thanks to British Lion Eggs for sponsoring this post I’ve been getting back into London life since coming back from my holidays a few weeks ago. It’s been busier than I expected – I’ve been assisting on some food shoots, seeing friends and going up…
