We’re so excited. We just upgraded our favourite paratha! We spent the previous week in the States and dropped by Chicago for a few days to explore the city and try out their trendy food spots. One cute little diner you must visit if you’re ever in Chicago is the Little Goat Diner. (Their mascot … Continue reading
We’re sort of obsessed with dates. We can get through huge quantities of them in one sitting and be totally okay with it. Anyway, dates are fruit and chock full of vitamins and fibre, so in our view, they can’t be THAT bad for you – unless you’re on a low carb diet, in which … Continue reading
So we’re a big fan of easy, quick meals because firstly when hunger kicks in, it’s really hard to think of anything other than “I’m hungry I’m hungry” and secondly we don’t always have the time. However, the greatest thing about weekends is being able to take the time over a cooked breakfast and be … Continue reading
So we were in New York last week and were determined to go to Brooklyn as we heard that it’s not just a hipster paradise but also the source of many interesting food trends. Unfortunately we picked the hottest day of our week to visit! As we traipsed around Williamsburg, exhausted by the heat and … Continue reading
We’re off to New York soon, which is one of our favourite cities in the world! It has such a buzz about it and from a foodie perspective, it’s super exciting. One of the places we love is the Clinton Street Baking Company which serves up beautiful, massive, fluffy pancakes for breakfast. Mmmm, carb heaven. … Continue reading
One of the things we love about weekend mornings is being able to cook a nice hot breakfast and really take the time to eat it with a strong cup of tea before heading to the gym or getting on with our day. Unfortunately, this has become a bit of luxury and if you’re like … Continue reading
This is a total revelation (to us). We’re regular porridge eaters and we’ve used all sorts of grains – porridge oats, jumbo oats, steel cut oats, barley flakes, quinoa, rice (technically kheer), broken rice (technically firni) – but for some reason, never bulgur wheat. Bulgur wheat was usually reserved for jareesh or other savoury dishes … Continue reading
January normally makes you want to retreat into your shell. You’ve eaten too much, you’ve certainly drunk too much and you’ve spent too much money. You’ve stayed up too late watching boxsets and you haven’t exercised. So in January, you vow to do the opposite. No chocolate for me, you say, I’m supposed to be … Continue reading
Remember all those chocolatey-sugary treats you ate when you couldn’t help yourself after a long, frustrating day at work? Or maybe it wasn’t frustrating, you just really like refined carbohydrates. Let’s make it all better. Don’t worry. You can do this. I mean, we’re on your side. We’re not going to make you eat rabbit … Continue reading
I know what you’re thinking – muesli ain’t amazing. Sure, when compared to gooey chocolatey brownies, it doesn’t compare. But this Muesli totally is. The crisp, nutty oat and rye flakes combined with the toffee-sweet dates, tart cranberries, lovely almonds and walnuts – with a few splashes of cold milk are absolutely divine. A perfect … Continue reading
