So we believe that every cook has a “nemesis” recipe. That one recipe that always starts with the best of intentions and then fails miserably. That recipe for us is the recipe for Honeycomb/ Cinder Toffee. It’s really not meant to be! We have all the ingredients, we have all of the necessary equipment. And … Continue reading
(How cute is this little fillet?) So here’s where we let you in on a fantastic mackerel recipe, truly the best way (in our opinion) to cook and eat this wonderful oily (omega 3s!), slightly salty fish. When we were growing up, we weren’t wild about fish. I mean, we were generally seriously picky eaters. … Continue reading
So a couple of months ago, we bought this fabulous book, The Flavour Thesaurus by Niki Segnit. What makes it so valuable for a home cook is that it’s really a book of ideas of what to cook. It sets out lots of different flavour pairings – almost daring you to come up with something … Continue reading
Can you believe that this pizza is absolutely flourless? And can you believe that the crust is actually made of….cauliflower? Yes it’s true! We were trawling the foodie internet world some time ago and came across this amazing concept. We couldn’t wait to try it! And sure, it doesn’t taste exactly like regular pizza, but … Continue reading
It’s always such a treat going to the farmer’s market on Sunday mornings. Lots of fresh produce, the smell of frying Cumberland sausages for selling in soft white rolls, creamy butter, cheese and milk straight from the farm and little mountains of crusty bread, quiches, tarts and cakes. And also, invariably, you stumble upon some … Continue reading
Last year, Tara went on a little trip to France and discovered a type of rose-coloured garlic, beautifully arranged in a bouquet, which comes from the Languedoc region. Of course, she had to buy it and since bringing it back to London, we’ve used it regularly in our cooking and generally become obsessed with all … Continue reading
So sometimes, things don’t work out quite like you planned. We recently visited our local farmer’s market, which is always a treat. It is full of cute stalls selling local produce and prepared food. Our favourites include the tomato sellers (yes, grown in the UK!) and the goat’s cheese stall. We also never miss an … Continue reading
Summer is most definitely here. And after one straight month of warm sunny days (with a few rainy ones in between, it wouldn’t be London otherwise), we’re starting to get used to this. Who can remember what it was like to put on a heavy coat (not shorts), tights and boots, (not flipflops) and a … 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
Finally, London is experiencing temperatures worthy of a summer! Now, as much as we want to live on a diet of ice cream (in yummy waffle cones!) when summer hits, the Grown Up versions of us know that we should probably try to aim for some nutrition too. Growing up in India, plain homemade yoghurt … Continue reading
