Traditional Braised Red Cabbage

Braised red cabbage is an easy no-faff side dish that will elevate your Sunday roast or Christmas dinner above all others. Forget roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, Brussels sprouts, bread sauce, and stuffing. You can even forget your grandmother’s Yorkshire puddings. Braised red cabbage is the ultimate roast dinner side dish, and it is absolutely essential at Christmas. For me, braised red cabbage just adds something different to the plate. It’s a little sweet and sticky, but also rich and full of wonderful whole spices that only add to the warmth of a roast. This isn’t a delicate dish, it’s ..read more

Christmas Baked Rice Pudding

This recipe for Christmas Baked Rice Pudding is rich and creamy, and packed with warming whole spices. The perfect dessert for a cold winter’s evening. Rice pudding – baked or otherwise – is one of those desserts that only comes around every so often. But when it does, you quickly remember why you enjoyed the last one you had quite so much. It is rich, comforting food. It’s good food. Ok, it doesn’t sound particularly enticing – who in their right mind would choose baked rice pudding over a chocolate bomb? Well, I would – that’s who! This recipe – in truth – is an adapted version of my recipe ..read more

Mincemeat Christmas Buns

Christmas creeps up, doesn’t it? Hopefully, I’ve not left these Mincemeat Christmas Buns until too close to the big day. If you’ve got time on your hands, these are a surprisingly simple-to-make festive treat that the whole family will – probably – enjoy. To make these Christmas Buns, I took the base ingredients and method of my recent recipe for cinnamon buns (worth a look if you missed them), replaced the cinnamon with mixed spice and threw in a healthy dollop of mincemeat for good measure. As a result, these are certainly on the more decadent side of the bun spectrum. But it’s Christmas, r ..read more

Healthy Homemade Granola

Granola has to be one of my favourite breakfast cereals. It’s delicious. It’s moreish. And for good reason – most of the granola lining the shelves of your local supermarket is far from the healthy start to the day it’s marketed as. So, I never buy it. How healthy is my recipe for homemade granola? Well, it still contains sugar – yes, honey is just naturally flavoursome sugar. But making homemade granola does put you in control of exactly how much sugar you’re putting in your body. And that can only be a good thing. Of course, being healthy isn’t defined by sugar and calories either. And the ..read more

Easy Vanilla Pound Cake

You wouldn’t be blamed for thinking this rather easy recipe for vanilla pound cake a little on the boring end of the cake spectrum. In fact, you’re probably right. But there’s something special about a well-made pound cake that’s difficult to put into words – is there a more perfect accompaniment for your afternoon tea or coffee? The joy of a classic vanilla pound cake – a very close cousin of the madeira cake – is in its simplicity. Some feel the need to tart theirs up with icing, or a glaze, or a drizzle, or a peculiarly large dollop of double cream. One baker even went about toasting their ..read more

Creamy Polenta with Mushrooms

I spent last Christmas in and around Lombardy. And while it’s not a region as famed for its food as other parts of Italy, it’s certainly no culinary slouch. After all, it’s the home of taleggio! But what you should truly be on the lookout for is the mushrooms, picked in the mountains and paired with a plate of creamy polenta enriched with salted butter, bay and nutmeg. Specifically, the inspiration for this recipe comes from a miniature restaurant on one of the backstreets of the old town of Bergamo (La Città Alta). It was totally unassuming, run by this old guy and his family. The food was o ..read more

Cinnamon Buns (Kanelbullar)

If you’re after a sweet, sticky and generously glazed cinnamon bun, you’ve come to the wrong place. Instead, these let the quality of the enriched bread and already sweet cinnamon filling do the talking. To my mind, that makes these more akin to the famous Swedish kanelbullar than what you might consider a cinnamon bun to be. You can, of course, glaze your cinnamon buns should you wish – far be it from me to stop you from doing so. It does have its advantages; without icing, these tend to go a little dry after a day. So, make sure you’re either cramming yourself full of cinnamon buns in a 24 ..read more

Kale and White Bean Minestrone

Minestrone is all about the seasons. My initial intention had been to describe this as an “Autumn Minestrone” – unbeknownst to me, and somewhat embarrassingly, I’ve already written that recipe. So, what you have before you is to be referred to as a recipe for Kale and White Bean Minestrone. It is to be made between the months of September and November. The absolute key to a fantastic and proper minestrone is only to include vegetables that are approximately in season where you are. If you’re having to ship that courgette in from Spain or your carrots hail from China, then get creative. Readin ..read more

Einkorn Sourdough Pancakes

Discard half your sourdough mother and feed. Baking sourdough bread is, by the definition of many, wasteful. All too often, little thought is given to that unwanted blob of starter. But if you’re not planning to bake with it, a batch of these Einkorn Sourdough Pancakes is about as good as it gets. Einkorn, or Ein’korn, is one of the oldest varieties of cultivated wheat. Its name literally means ‘single grain’ – a reference to the fact each of its spikelets contains only one grain. It’s a fantastic flour, low in gluten, high in protein, and exciting to use because of its long history. The rea ..read more

Basque Cheesecake

Food is at the very heart of San Sebastian, and nowhere is that more evident than in its Old Town. Littered with tiny Basque restaurants, it’s one of the very best places to enjoy the region’s famous pintxos washed down with a glass of extravagantly poured txakoli.  Walk into any bar or restaurant and you’ll almost certainly find the counter filled with row upon row of gilda, boquerones and tortilla de bacalao served in bite-sized portions. But not all are famed only for their savoury pintxos – La Viña has something else up its sleeve entirely.  Though unassuming, La Viña is perhaps ..read more
