‘Every dish I cooked exhumed a memory. Every scent and taste brought me back for a moment to an unravaged home’ I found some beautiful freshly made tofu at the Larchmont Farmers Market this weekend from Great Joy Family Farm. It reminded me of my time in Singapore where I used to taste it most …
‘Simple ingredients prepared in a simple way – that’s the best way to take your everyday cooking to a higher level’ – Jose Andres I adapted this recipe from one I found in Bon Appetit. I love the braising technique as it adds a huge amount of flavour to the food and decreases the need …

‘I didn’t change, I just started to look at things differently’. Mr B and I popped into Orchard Grocer, a vegan Deli one day a few months ago. I was curious to see how they had become so popular so quickly, with reported long lines for their smoked salmon bagel. It is said that the …
Kale-Kopita (Vegan) This is a great recipe from the kitchen at Vedge in LA. It is a take on the classic spanakopita, (which means cheese filled) and uses tofu as the substitute. As I talked to a few people about this recipe, it became clear that there is a version of this pie across the …
