As we zoom into autumn you’ll find me munching hybrid meals like this one: fuelsome black rice smothered in a rich umami dressing but freshened up with summery cucumber, zingy red onions and the ubiquitous avocado. It’s a great work lunch box meal and gives the most boring green salad a flavoursome boost! And of course, […]
Globe Artichokes with Pink Grapefruit & Smoked Paprika Aioli

Strictly speaking it’s more of a dip than aioli as I haven’t used any oil – the juice […]

Thai Lentil Fritters
These spicy little morsels are incredibly quick and easy to prepare and are just so versatile: whip up the batter in advance and fry to order for an Indian or Thai starter – or canapés – or make into burgers. I also like using these as an alternative to falafels to pep up a work […]
