Italian Meatballs

It took me ages to decide what to name this dish…..just kidding! These bad boys contain tomatoes, basil and Balsamic vinegar, call me predictable but I think it was pretty obvious where we were going here.  These are a pretty stock standard mid-week meal at Casa...

Chocolate Pots

Looking for something super straight forward and simple for a mid-week dessert or a relaxed dinner party? I've got your back. You can jazz these babies up to make them look all pretty and special (a.k.a. like you've spent loads of time on them). They are so simple a...

Kladdkaka (Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake)

You don't have to be called Sven or Ulrika to want to get this tastiness all up and around your mouth. It's everything you want in a dessert - chocolatey, dense and gooey. Those Swedes don't just do furniture and kitschy 70's pop bands, they know a thing or two about...

Mango Sauce

Oh hell no mayo! Back it up ketchup! None of that store bought crap around here. There's just no need when it takes literally minutes to knock together tasty sauces that have none of that added garbage in them. Take your taste buds on a tropical holiday with this easy...
Lemon & Pistachio Macaroons

Lemon & Pistachio Macaroons

I've got a lover-ly bunch of coconuts...well at least I used to until Crossfit stole them. But that's another story. I do like coconut though. And seeing as coconut is the main ingredient in macaroons, well I like those too. What?? You're buying them from the store?...

Dukkah

Dukkah

Do you even dukkah? If you don't you should start. This crumbly Egyptian spice mix is like fairy dust, you'll want to sprinkle that shizzle everywhere. Add to soups, salads, or dressings. Mix it through zoodles. Roast it on your veggies. Spice up your eggs or crust up...

Lebanese Tahina Fish (Samke Harra)

Lebanese Tahina Fish (Samke Harra)

Let's be honest, plain white fish is just a bit, well, beige. I'm guessing though, if you're reading this, you're not here for my charm and good looks and you're expecting a solution for this beigeness. Well, ta-da! I present you with my version of Samke Harra, which...

Muesli

Muesli

I love breakfast. Especially a nice leisurely weekend breakfast. I judge hotels on their breakfast. I'm also quite partial to breakfast for dinner if the mood takes me. If someone says they don't eat breakfast, I give them the look. You know the look I'm talking...

Stuffed Eggplants with Cashew Cheese

Stuffed Eggplants with Cashew Cheese

Go and get stuffed! Just kidding, but I do insist you go and stuff your eggplants and then stuff your face with them. I’ll be honest, these started out as my version of a Greek dish I had on holidays, but I found the resulting mince mix a little bland for my discerning taste buds, […]

Zucchini and Carrot Fritters

Zucchini and Carrot Fritters

When people get over the horror that I don’t start my day with a bowl of Crapflakes, they are always interested in what I eat for brekky. “Like, so, do you just eat bacon and eggs, like, everyday??” While that sounds delicious, even I need a breather from that piggy goodness. Team these with some […]

Spanish Chicken Casserole

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 use-by date and...

Sundried Tomato & Basil Pesto

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 everywhere! Bored...

Massaman Curry

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 the most kick-ass...
