    Wild Garlic Soup – Hello Spring!

    Wild Garlic Soup If I were to chose one ingredient that defines spring, that would be wild garlic. And my all time favourite recipe is this wild garlic soup. I usually serve it with a poached egg on top and…

  • Sicilian getaway - the highlights: 🍝Linguine al limone & gamberi - my absolute favourite. Went back the next day for seconds 😋 🍝Trofie al ragu di tonno - it was the first thing that caught my eye when I first read the menu. I instantly knew that this is going to be good. It was really special indeed 💛 🍝Ravioli ai crostacei - light pasta, sweet seafood: a joy for the tastebuds 🍝Pasta alla Palermitana - basically spaghetti w/ sardines, breadcrumbs and sultanas. I could eat this dish again and again for days and never get bored. You know me: I’m the biggest sardine fan 🤩💛 #pastaislife #siciliangetaway #linguine #trofie #ravioli #spaghetti
  • There’s nothing a Rum Baba (or two) can’t heal 💛 My Sicilian holiday didn’t go exactly to plan (think doddgy accomodation, a full day of thunderstorms, crazy taxi taxi drivers and two days of ‘menu turistico’, including the worse risotto I have ever had). Things eventually got better, so I quickly adopted the ‘Sicilian Sweets Diet’, that is eating my body weight in rum babas, cannoli, cornetti and insane amounts of ice cream sandwiched between the fluffiest of brioches. Also found *that* restaurant in G.Naxos (see stories) 🍝🍷 #italianholiday #siciliangetaway #rumbaba
  • AD| Celebrating the end of summer with a seriously jammy cheese & wine session powered by @jamshedwine 🧀🍷Think ripe brie, juicy figs, wholemeal crackers and bacon jam paired with a glass of intensely fruity full bodied Shiraz🍷 #seriouslyjammy #cheeseandwine #summertreats
  • If you’re looking for inspiration for this #fishfriday here’s an idea: pan fried wild Sockeye salmon, couscous with minted peas and caramelised chicory. I first cooked this dish last year, but every once in a while I keep repeating it, as it’s super easy to make and truly delicious 👌 👩🏻‍🍳To make this recipe, simply pan fry a beautiful piece of salmon in a hot pan and carefully turn it on each side for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, add some boiling water over a bowl of couscous and let it rest. Cut the chicory in half, lengthwise and gently cook it with butter on a low heat until it begins to caramelise. Blanch a cup of fresh peas, then add them to the couscous and season with salt, mint and olive oil. Enjoy! 🍴🍷😉 @leapwildfish #wildsalmon #sockeyesalmon #easydinner
  • 🎶 Easy like Monday evening 🎶 And what a Monday that was! I have finally submitted my dissertation today, after having spent the entire summer researching and writing and generally being buried under piles and piles of books 📚 (or computer screens, as it happened) 👩‍💻 A quick dinner (followed by a celebratory g&t) is in order. Over and out 🎉🎊🍸
