Have you ever heard of Aarhus? I knew that it was selected as the European Cultural Capital in 2017 and that was about it. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Aarhus is Denmark’s second-largest city making it Copenhagen’s cool little sibling – and they’ve got a lot going on.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Aarhus is pretty compact! It’s a historic city that remarkably feels like one cozy neighborhood, where all of the things to see and do are within walking distance of each other. With incredible architecture, impressive galleries, and loads of food options I was more than sold. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ You can fly there direct from the UK, but I took a 3.5 hour train ..read more

After crumpets, one baked delight that I could not live without are pastries.  Specifically those gorgeously beautiful rounds or laminated layers of escargots.  You can get these delights in most bakeries in Paris, but now These have finally become a ‘thing’ in London.   The Godfather of the London escargot has to be none other than the Islington purveyor of all things layered and that’s… Pophams Pophams Pophams Escargot Pophams scrolled into the world in October 2017. They do loads of laminated pastries… but the one that purpled them into stardom was their Bacon and maple swirl ..read more

You can’t go to Singapore and not eat Singapore Chili Crab. Despite its name it’s not an overly spicy dish. Or at least the one we had from  Jumbo Seafood Singapore was not that spicy. ⠀ According to my research,  Singapore Chilli Crab was invented by Cher Yam Tian in the mid-1950s when she added bottled chilli sauce to her dish of stir-fried crabs, instead of using tomato sauce, her usual ingredient. In 1956, she and her husband began selling the dish from a pushcart along the seaside. Business was good and they eventually opened a restaurant in 1962. Nowadays it’s all ove ..read more

Hello Ham, Egg and Cheese bagel. I’m an egg obsessive, so when I find a new way to cook eggs, yep you guessed it I’m all in. I saw a Korean video on how to make One Pan Egg Toast and thought I’d give it a try. You know the one where the eggs are put in the pan, then the bread is added. The egg is then flipped, then the ham and cheese are added. Magic happens when you do an oragami-like fold, it turns into an egg sandwich. I’ll link the video below… I tried it like the original video with bread and liked it… but wanted a little more texture to the bread so I thought I’d make a riff on McDonal ..read more

I’m not gonna lie…. My main purpose of visiting Porto was to take in those azulejos.  If you’ve seen pictures of Porto (and other parts of Portugal) you’ve seen the beautiful, blue and white tiles that done the facades and interiors of buildings and churches.  It was King Manuel I of Portugal who brought azulejo tiles from Seville, in Spain, to Portugal, during the fifteenth century. Azulejos were very common in parts of the in Seville and Grenada (Areas heavily influenced by Moorish architecture and art). The word azulejo comes from the Arabic word al zellige which means “the polish ..read more

[This is part of a paid collaboration with Leerdammer] YAY to summer and yay to picnics.  I preset to your the Picnic Perfect Muffuletta featuring @leerdammer. Despite its goofy sounding name, it’s a serious sandwich that has wow factor when you serve it up.    The muffuletta is a New Orleans classic that was invented in the 1930s.    It could not be simpler. You hollow out a loaf of crusty bread then layer in Cheese and meats then top it with a herby olive relish (I’ve popped the recipe in the link in my bio). Then put the bread lid firmly back on and w ..read more

Pasta alla Gricia may be the most underrated of all the four types of classic Roman pastas. The world loves a carbonara, probably the most dare I say pedestrian of the four. Every food lover in London gets their knickers in a twist over cacio e Pepe. Not being shady, I like it too… so much I created a fried egg recipe that tasted like it. I don’t really love the tomato heavy Amatriciana, but that’s just me. My favourite has to be Pasta alla Gricia. Its super simple to make you need 3 ingredients pasta, pecorino and guanciale. With simple recipes its important that you get top-quality ingredien ..read more

[This post is part of a paid collaboration with Naked Glory] Summer feels like it is officially here.. So I’m firing up the BBQ (on my patio) and I’m cheating on meat with this Middle Eastern Meatfree BBQ with Naked Glory. Now, Naked Glory sausages are great on their own… but I’m craving a little escapism to warmer shores. I’ve made a glaze with chilli, pomegranate molasses, cumin, sumac, paprika and oregano to give the sausages a smokey sweet heat.
