I must confess that I am a little late to the party when it comes to baked oats. Having always been a porridge girl myself, I never really thought to switch things up by cooking my oats in the oven, rather than on the stove. Luckily I spied a few gorgeous looking breakfast recipes on…

Tri-Coloured Mexican Quinoa
Mexican food is a family favourite, yet sometimes I get bored making the same old burritos, quesadillas and guacamole (although my husband really does make the BEST guac I’ve ever had). Recently we tried British Chef Anna Jones’ Sweet Potato Quesadillas and I felt like we needed something fresh and healthy to be the star…
Beetroot Burger with Halloumi & Yogurt Coleslaw
One of my little vegetarian fears is cooking a Sunday lunch for guys. Don’t get me wrong, I know many lovely vegetarian men (including my excellent father and brother), but sometimes I find myself cooking for a hungry group who really don’t believe vegetables can fill you up. My solution in this situation is nearly always halloumi. Many…
Simple Summer Salads
London is heating up and what could be better than a picnic lunch? Your options are plentiful: a day lazing by the river in Bishop’s Park (Putney Bridge), sitting on striped deck chairs near Buckingham Palace (Hyde Park Corner), or a working lunch watching the tennis or cricket with a glass of chilled pinot grigio…
Quiche with goats cheese, mushrooms and thyme
Ah quiche. This particular baked item has an abundance of memories for me. Firstly, my lovely ex-flatmate Rob used to make a quiche most Sunday nights (a busy culinary day if we consider Sunday Sudanese Lentils) and after church a ramshackle, every changing group would be treated to a slice. More recently it’s become an…
Egyptian Baked Eggs
I’ve been thinking of breakfast quite a lot lately. Or to be exact, more about brunch. The thing is, just two months ago I moved to the land of the Scots. And while haggis, shortbread and whiskey rein supreme, my lovely new city has only just embraced what us Australians have treasured for so long…the…
Mexi Jenga
Green chili mexi-beans with corn fritters Serves 6 Mexican food is too much fun. It’s fresh, feisty and goes well with tequila. What more can you really ask for? The word on the street is that mexi-parties are springing up all over Sydney (at least according to my trendy buddy Gabs) and this little feast…
French Lentils with Ginger and Fragrant Spices
Lentilles du Puy, or French lentils, are a smaller, rounder variety of lentils that take slightly longer to cook. Because they hold their shape so well, these snazzy little guys are the perfect addition to a salad, slow cooked meal, or a more textural soup. I can honestly say I’ve never seen a recipe that combines fresh…
Sunday Sudanese Lentils
My big brother is an archaeologist and gets to visit some pretty interesting places. A couple of years ago he was working in Sudan, and when he came to visit us last Christmas he brought home some culinary secrets. I’d never cooked with red lentils until he showed us what they’d eat on the dig,…
Vegetarian Lasagne from Dalton HQ
My poor mother married a vegetarian and then later down the line watched as her seven year old son was converted to cheese burgers sans the meat patty…twenty years on and my sister and I have also gone to the dark side and now that 80% of Dalton HQ are vegetarians, this recipe is a…
