Hello! I am back, I am writing again, home again. I don’t even need to bother explaining what is going on, the whole world knows the current situation. I hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe (and staying at home!). Many of us, especially those working in hospitality have ended up without a jobContinueContinue reading “losing the plot in the vegetable plot”

How to be the best version of your vegan-self
Vegan-ism has become so mainstream now that I don’t think I should even bother with this post. I turned ‘vegan'(ish) at the ripe old age of 16, just before it started to get popular. It’s been a bumpy ride, it started off well as mum gave me lacto-free cheese until one day, about a monthContinueContinue reading “How to be the best version of your vegan-self”
Back to reality… and porridge
After almost 3 glorious months back home in France I have returned to london, rush hour, the plastic wrapped vegetables (a ‘portion’ of cucumber wrapped in cling and then in more plastic wrapping, come on morrisons)and porridge made with water. I used to love coming back to England for holidays. It was such a novelty,ContinueContinue reading “Back to reality… and porridge”
Pa’s vegetable garden- a brief history
When we first began the house/garden the first thing we had built was the allotment. My dad, along with his brother Rob got to work making a fence, laying and plastering bricks for the raised beds. Along with a small shed for tools, a wall for grapes and a pergola supporting two kiwi trees. TheContinueContinue reading “Pa’s vegetable garden- a brief history”
Vegan walnut and banana bread
wow keeping a blog is pretty time consuming and I’m afraid I’ve been a pretty poor show. Too busy pizza oven making, birthday party attending and wedding-menu planning! Anyway, I have been going through a banana phase at the moment. My favourite dessert is banana ice cream- literally frozen bananas blended with yogurt drizzled in,ContinueContinue reading “Vegan walnut and banana bread”
Super seedy pesto
Okay okay, I know this is nothing like an authentic pesto and I can already hear the angry protests from Italy from where Im sat. Seeds? in a pesto? and prunes? and mint? So maybe it isn’t technically a pesto but guess what? Its vegan, nut free and just as delicious as its Italian namesake.ContinueContinue reading “Super seedy pesto”
sleeping in the airport and a final falafel
It’s 4:30am here in Israel and the airport is packed. If it weren’t for the dark outside you wouldn’t know it was so early. The shops are still open( who even buys underwear and perfume at 4 in the morning though) and the people next to me are tucking into cheese baguettes and Iranian saladsContinueContinue reading “sleeping in the airport and a final falafel”
Beetroot leaf pesto
My parents arrived in France about a month and a bit ago, at 3am after a long and hard 18 hour drive, fuelled by puking dogs. The first thing my dad did as soon as parked up was go look at the vegetable garden. The grass had grown tup to his chest (shoulder height forContinueContinue reading “Beetroot leaf pesto”
Rhubarb and Plum mustard with white asparagus
A chef friend recently told me about Rhubarb mustard and a first I was slightly dubious but its actually really, really nice! The sweetness from the fruit softens the harshness from the Dijon and it pairs well with white asparagus, which are a speciality in France. I decided to add a plum to give itContinueContinue reading “Rhubarb and Plum mustard with white asparagus”
The end of the year…?
So yesterday I landed in France- A place I that I’ve had the privilege and delight to call home for over 12 years. Where I grew up, attended both primary and secondary school before we moved back to the UK to do GCSES, A-Levels and now uni, for my sister and chef school for me.ContinueContinue reading “The end of the year…?”
