Mexican Chicken Soup
This soup is so damn good you’ll want to build a wall around your kitchen and keep it all for yourself. Hahaha, sorry for the terrible joke, but seriously, the Mexicans gave us guacamole, so Trump you idiot, have some bloody respect.
Kale Salad with Sweet Onions
Everyone is quick to hate on kale. “Why’s everyone so obsessed with kale?” “Kale tastes like swamp water!” kale is the reason why people can’t parallel park!” Well you know what? Kale is good and honest and won’t do you dirty like that two-faced baby spinach. Yeah...
Spanish Chicken Casserole
While I’d like to say I tasted this dish in some awesome restaurant travelling through Spain last summer, that would be a lie. This dish was invented in my little Satwa kitchen, because I had some chorizo in my fridge that was edging close to its...
Chocolate Orange Balls
Call me immature, but the word balls makes me snicker like a school girl. I was going to call these truffles, or bites or something, but hey, everyone likes tasty balls right?! Along with enjoying the word balls, I also enjoy a chocolate-orange combo. Like a Jaffa (delicious Australian treat) or a Terry’s Chocolate Orange […]
Cherry Cake in Women’s Health & Fitness October 2015
Thanks to Women’s Health & Fitness for publishing my Cherry Cake in their October edition.
Caramel Banana Chia Pudding
OMG!!! A chia seed pudding?? Wow! You are so inventive.... Yeah, yeah, I can hear you and all of your sarcasm. Chia seed puddings are everywhere. There's a reason for that. It's because they are so damn easy to make, good for you and generally...
Carrot Cake Bites
If you have to put a ball in your mouth, it may as well be the tastiest one possible and these guys are up there on the yum-o-meter. All the flavours of a carrot cake without all that tedious baking business? Where do I sign? The trick is don’t overwork the mixture once you add […]
Fig & Sesame Cookie
This recipe came about from sheer fatigue. While I’d like to pretend I’m some sort of kitchen whizz and cooking goddess, some days I simply can’t be arsed pitting cherries, activating nuts or cleaning the juicer. Especially that juicer. Last...
Chocolate & Beetroot Cupcakes
So I’m at it again, adding vegetables to dessert! These cupcakes are moist (I hate this word by the way), dense and delicious, and will win over any chocoholic. I used pre-cooked, vacuum packed beetroot that I found in the fruit and veg department...
Roast Vegetable ‘Cous Cous’
Cauliflower was one of those vegetables I hated as a kid. I was all like “but muuuuuuum, I don’t want to eat it! It smells like faaaaaaarts!’ (said in annoying, whiny kid-speak).Cauliflower took my rejection, bided his time, and now, 30 or so years later he is happy with his place as one of my […]
Sundried Tomato & Basil Pesto
Here’s some good advice from me to you. When you have a spare 5 minutes (because that’s all you need) , whip up a batch of this stuff and have it on hand to turn your meal from ho-hum to kick-arse any day of the week. Seriously, spread this stuff...
Kale, Chicken and Pumpkin Salad with Tahina Dressing
Hi kale-haters! I'm back with another yummy recipe to try to change your mind. If Mr Smith asked me "what's for dinner?" and I answered "salad", he would look at me like I was a crazy person. But this isn't just any old rabbit food salad. I...
Cherry Cake
Some girls get excited about shoes, handbags, jewellery. Me, well, I got a little excited about buying a cherry pitter the other day. I deadset got home and pitted like half a kilo of cherries (the novelty wore off halfway through, but I...
Massaman Curry
There is a little restaurant in Bangkok called Ban Chiang which I visit every time I’m there. It’s quite an unexpected place considering its location, but it never disappoints. It’s in an old Thai house, surrounded by loads of greenery and serves...
