carnitas

8 march 2025

Last year when I was in Mexico, I had some tacos at a local place. This place was famous for carnitas, and the locals would come and buy them by the kilogram. They were crispy and salty and exactly what you want from a mouth-watering, slow-cooked pork. I told my guide about how I make carnitas at home, and bragged about how I slow cook them for 12 plus hours. He laughed in my face…

chocolate raspberry smoothie

10 january 2025

As a part of my 2025 morning routine, I have been having my breakfast at home, and not stopping by the incredible-smelling bakery on the walk into my office. But I don’t always have any more time than about 15 minutes to prepare something tasty, nutritious and filling. This smoothie is my best option. And it’s not half bad. It’s a good way to get an extra serve of veggies, with the blended spinach, and with all the fibre from the raspberries, this is surprisingly filling. This is also vegan friendly.

san choy bow

5 january 2025

I came across this recipe a few years ago when I was on a bit of a health kick. The base of this comes from Jesinta Franklin’s Live a Beautiful Life, and I’ve adjusted it to my tastes. This is the perfect summer dish. It’s healthy, it’s tasty and easy to prepare.

beach club cocktail

4 january 2025

Picture this: The sun begins to set as the sky turns shades of coral and lavender. You’re at a pumping beach club, toes in the warm sand, cool summer tunes flood the airways, a gentle breeze carrying the scent of the salt and sea. As you take a sip, you can almost hear the waves and feel the warmth of that summer evening. This is what this cocktail reminds me of.

thai green curry pork meatballs

17 september 2024

During a recent grocery shop, I was walking the aisles of Aldi, not feeling very inspired. I didn’t feel like anything in particular. I really didn’t feel like cooking anything that required a lot of prep, or cleaning, or anything that took longer than 15 minutes. I just wanted a flavourful meal made up of veggies, some spice and texture. Then, I was struck with inspiration.

vegetable couscous

10 september 2024

Pearl couscous is an easy way to elevate your weeknight meals. And it is just as easy to cook as rice or pasta. This dish really takes minimal effort. Just chop up a couple of vegetables, chuck them in the oven, boil some couscous, top with feta and mix it all together.

creamy pasta sauce

11 may 2024

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just crave a nice, big bowl of creamy pasta goodness. Something garlicky, cheesy, salty with the soft texture of a delicate, stringy pasta. This versatile sauce hits the spot every time, and it’s as easy as it is delicious. It’s by no means revolutionary, but you’ll never be disappointed.

choc chip bread & butter pudding

2 march 2024

Bread and butter pudding had always sounded so stodgy and unappetising to me. Wet bread? No thanks.

white chocolate mousse

18th february 2024

It’s hard to go wrong with a chocolate mousse. It’s delicious, it can be made simple or extravagant. But the best thing about mousse is that it is incredibly easy to make.

waffles

13th february 2024

For the longest time, waffles always felt so exotic to me. Growing up, like most homes, we didn’t have a waffle iron. So whenever there was an opportunity to have waffles, I jumped at the chance. But now, I am an adult and have control of my finances and kitchen appliance decision making, I own a waffle iron and can make them whenever I want.

peri peri sauce – claire’s way

11th february 2024

I am a fan of hot sauces, but I have never really experienced proper peri peri sauce. I’ve been to Nandos in my life, but there’s not a store near me, so it’s not something I have a lot. So I thought I would try and make one myself. So thanks for a recipe from Pretty Delicious, I made a batch using their recipe.
