Some people might turn their nose up at an onion and anchovy pie. But not the Italians! Lucky for us, Italian heritage isn't a prerequisite for appreciating sweet, slow-cooked onions with salty anchovies and olives. While Scalcione Di Cipolle is traditionally made with dense and crumbly pie dough, I prefer a flaky crust and have… Continue reading Scalcione Di Cipolle (Savoury Onion Pie)
If you’ve ever wondered how people cook and enjoy breadfruit, give my Breadfruit Chips recipe a try! These oddball fruits are mildly flavoured, starchy, and just perfect for frying. They pair beautifully with a spicy Caribbean dipping sauce.

The calamansi fruit tastes like a cross between a lime and a mandarin orange. It works perfectly in iced tea, and this recipe will fast become your… Continue reading Calamansi Iced Tea (Calamantea)
My cousin Claire and I like to get together once a month to tackle a new skill in the kitchen. This month we decided to try our hands at sausage making. I didn't think homemade sausage would taste so much better than store bought...but it does. (No hard gristly bits to chew on). Before even… Continue reading Bratwurst Sausage
This recipe is essentially a marinade for the leaves. After the leaves have sat in the marinade for 2 days, they are removed and used as a sort of taco/grape leaf hybrid to wrap around sticky glutinous short grained rice. The flavour of the leaves is the draw here. They taste of basil and coriander… Continue reading Korean Perilla Leaves and Rice
This past weekend we had a family reunion for my dad's side of the family. They hail from Sheffield in Yorkshire, so I wanted to make a traditional Yorkshire recipe. After scouring recipe books and the internet I decided on making a Yorkshire Brack. Similar to a Scottish Brack or 'Barmbrack', a Yorksire Brack is a fruit… Continue reading Yorkshire Brack

So when I come across a fruit I haven't tried before I just have to buy some. On this particular visit, I came across… Continue reading Kiwi, Loquat and Tequila Jam
