Deconstructed Samosas My grandma’s samosas were famous. She served them at family meals and everyone would dive in as soon as they arrived. I remember my mum selling them at school fundraisers when I was a kid and people ordering them for parties of their own. She must have made tens of thousands of them …
Courgette and Corn Fritters These are a great little snack or starter filled with tasty vegetables. They remind me of my grandma’s Pakora’s but are made with corn flour instead of chickpea flour, both of which are gluten free so we are in luck, either way The wonderful thing about this dish, is the texture, …
‘The voice if the sea, speaks to my soul’… I serve this in the summer, instead of real Oysters as Mr B isn’t so fond of the real things having been spoiled by spending so much of his childhood eating seafood in his parent home town in Italy I do in fact love oysters, but …

‘Creativity is a way to share your soul with the world’ This is my healthy vegan version of Amanda Cohen’s popcorn beets, which have been deemed better than popcorn shrimp by the food critics. Mr. B loves popcorn shrimp, so although I haven’t tried Cohen’s dish, I was inspired to make my own version and …
This week in Boston was one of those weird weather weeks that everyone has been expecting all year but is surprised when it comes. The snow fell so quickly and heavily that you couldn’t see in front of your face, all forms of transport ground to a halt and you felt like you were trapped …
I saw this on the plant based pixie blog and just couldn’t resist making my own version. Such a fun idea for Christmas and although a little fiddly, totally worth it for the awe and wonder from your guests when they see their plate. I decided to adapt this recipe to make it an all …
