Cilantro Corn (Vegan)

‘It’s not what’s on the table that matters, it’s who is in the chairs.’ I love serving canapes with a glass of bubbly at the beginning of a dinner party. Little bites which you can pop straight into your mouth. Mr B serves the drinks and I serve the canapes, making our way around the

15 Minute Blueberry Chia Jam (GF, Vegan, No Refined Sugar)

By , August 3, 2019

This recipe is straight out of Bon Appetit. Normally I’ll take a base recipe and adapt it, but this recipe was perfect. Healthy, simple and quick. The Chia acts as the binder, so you don’t need any extra ingredients like pectin. My blueberries were sweet enough, so I only needed the 3-tbsp. maple syrup, but

Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie (GF, DF, Vegan)

‘Food is symbolic of love, when words are inadequate’ It was Mr. B and my anniversary this week and so I made him this pie and for the first time in seven years he cooked for me. Ahh, yes, Mr. B is allowed in the kitchen, but I think once every seven years may be

Blueberry Clafoutis (GF, DF)

‘One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day’ I get up at 5am to commute to work and so am always looking for dishes that can be eaten on the go. I also buy a lot of fresh produce from the farmers market to prep at the weekend and so am

‘A people’s relationship to their heritage is the same as the relationship of a child to its mother’ Every fourth of July, now that am based in the USA, as a Brit, I feel strangely patriotic. It is a time were Americans celebrate their independence from the English. Whilst I fully understand this, having a

‘My kitchen is a mystical place, a kind of temple for me. It is a place where the surfaces seem to have significance, where the sounds and odours carry meaning that transfers from the past and bridges to the future’.  Since I became a vegetarian my friends have been asking if I will miss sushi.

Almond Ricotta (Vegan, GF, DF)

By , June 22, 2019

‘Good cooking is honest, sincere and simple’ When Mr. B and I were in Italy in May we ate Ricotta fresh from the farm next door every day. It was simple and unadulterated, and you could taste the floral tones of the land. When we are at home in the USA, Mr. B and I

Bigmama’s Samosas (Vegan)

By , June 15, 2019

This recipe is in loving memory of my grandmother, whose recipes are my guide to know she is always by my side. I was very nervous about cooking this dish and have therefore been putting it off inadvertently. This was my grandmothers signature dish, you know, like when you battle on Beat Bobby Flay, you

Pink Tortillas

By , June 8, 2019

‘Every great dream begins with a dreamer’ This is one of those recipes that I imagined and just had to try out. I don’t know why I dreamed up pink tortillas, perhaps I have been eating too many foraged mushrooms.  Most people I know have never made their own tortilla’s, even if it’s part of
