This is super easy blender recipe, that is decadent, rich and gooey. It is a raw recipe so no need to bake but every excuse to eat out of the bowl! You can switch the nuts to others if you prefer, walnuts for hazelnuts is my favourite substitution for the Nutella vibe. I also sometimes …
‘Indian food touches your soul before it touches your taste buds’ This is one of my grandmother’s signature dishes, Indian Kofta Curry, the Indian version of meatballs and sauce as Mr B likes to say. I love the fragrance that comes from the layers of spicing, in both the kofta’s and the curry. My grandma …
‘I close my eyes and I want to understand where I am, cooking is about emotion, it’s about culture, it’s about love, it’s about memory’ – Massimo Bottura This is a comforting and hearty soup with a soulful Indian twist. I came up with the recipe by combing two family recipes, my uncle Joe’s carrot …

‘Do you have a kinder, more adaptable friend in food, than soup? Who soothes you when you are ill? Who refuses to leave you when you are impoverished and stretches its resources to give hearty sustenance and cheer. Yet is also capable of doing honour at your richest table. Who warms you in winter and …
Mr B loves loves loves thanksgiving and nothing gives him more pleasure than a pumpkin pie. He lights pumpkin pie candles and has pumpkin pie lattes (with almond milk of course) and so I had to make him the tastiest and healthiest pumpkin pie possible. No mean feat and quite the pressure (felt like I …
‘After a good dinner, one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relations’ – Oscar Wilde This recipe is based on a picture I saw on the front of a magazine. I often see something that inspires and take a snap as Mr B will attest to having backed up my phone and downloaded 10,000 pictures! …
