Massaman curry is a classic Thai curry of Muslim origin and traditionally it’s loaded with potatoes. I have simply skipped them and used 2 onions, but you can use radishes, kohlraib or even cucumber instead. If you are short in time, use a ready-made massaman curry paste. This recipe calls for braising beef, however, you can make this with beef ribs, lamb shanks, chicken, pork or even tofu too. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. If you are sensitive to peanuts, simply omit them or use cashew nuts instead.
Massaman means "Muslim" and is derived from a now-archaic English term "Mussulman," highlighting its origins as a fusion dish brought by Persian or Malay traders.

Crispy and fresh from the oven – that's how we like our bread best. This delicious homemade spelt bread with walnuts and raisins relies on long, slow fermentation with just a little yeast to develop gluten and flavour, rather than manual kneading. A 24-hour fermentation help develop a deeper, more complex, sourdough-like flavour and makes the bread more digestible. If you bake this bread in summer or your kitchen is very warm, or simply because you want to delay baking even longer, you can leave the dough rise in the refrigerator. I left mine in the refrigerator for the last 4 hours and the sticky dough was actually much easier to work with when it’s cold.

This easy, rustic galette features a flaky homemade spelt-rye crust filled with herby goat cheese and ras el hanout carrots. The crispy texture and slight sweetness of shaved carrots complement the earthy and woody flavours of ras el hanout. The free-form galette is so easy to make and requires no special tart pan as it’s baked directly on a baking sheet, and the charm lies in their imperfection. It’s less fancy, but delicious and beautiful enough makes a perfect centerpiece for a spring table!

Çilbir (pronounced chil-burr) are perfectly poached eggs with runny yolks, served over a delicious garlicky herbal yoghurt, and finished with a warm spicy butter or olive oil infused with Turkish pul biber. Enjoy it as a meze, or weekend breakfast and brunch.

A prawn karahi curry is a seafood alternative on the more traditional and popular chicken or lamb Karahi. A quick and deliciously moreish curry with a thick, rich, flavoursome masala sauce that will have you going back for more. Karahi masala is named after the steep-sided, wok-like pot in which this dish would traditionally be cooked. Though the word karahi refers to the cooking vessel, it is also a synonym for a thick tomato-ginger masala sauce. The karahi curries are very popular in the Indian subcontinent, specifically Pakistan and North India. Prawn Karahi is traditionally served hot, garnished with fresh coriander and ginger juliennes, often accompanied by rice or naan.

A delicious and balanced meal using bite-sized chunks of boneless, skinless chicken thighs marinated with a blend of warm spices, sauteed until they’ve developed a golden crust, the spiced fat is then used to pan-fry the chickpeas until crispy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside. Alongside a refreshing yoghurt sauce, it makes a perfect low-carb meal that's as satisfying as it is nutritious on its own. I opt for a full fat Greek yoghurt, but you could also use regular whole milk yoghurt or a dairy-free alternative. Use ready made spice blend if you want to. Curry powder, baharat or ras el hanout would work beautifully here.

Adding root vegetables to soda bread is an effective way to enhance its moisture, texture, and flavour, with popular variations including grated carrots, celeriac, turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, black radishes or beetroots. You can use either just one root vegetable, or a mix of two. I have added some grated Parmigiano Reggiano, but aged Cheddar will work perfectly in this loaf.
This savory Irish soda bread is incredibly versatile and super quick to make, requiring no yeast, and is best enjoyed warm with butter or alongside soup or salad.
Irish soda bread was first created in the 1830s, when baking soda was first introduced to the UK. At the time, Ireland was facing financial hardship and lack of resources, so they turned to soda bread out of neccessity, it was inexpensive and required few ingredients. Wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and soured milk was all they needed. It was thought that cutting a cross into the bread would ward off the devil/evil, or, according to folklore, allows fairies to escape while the bread baked. In fact, it’s actually because the dough is quite heavy and if it’s not cut, the dough will pop the air bubbles and it won’t give you the rise. Although soda bread has long been a traditional food in Ireland, it didn’t actually originate on the Emerald Isle. In fact, it was first made by settlers in America in the 18th century.

Leipziger Lerchen (Lerchen means larks in German) are a small shortcrust pastry filled with nuts and strawberry jam. The pastry cross on top symbolize the cross ties used to bind the stuffed animals and red berry jam symbolize either the heart or the blood of the bird. The name originates from a delicacy popular in the Leipzig, Germany until the 1870s. The dish used the lark which was roasted with herbs and eggs and served as a filling in a pastry crust. By the end of the 19th century, however, the larks population had so decreased that the shooting of larks was officially banned. A clever confectioner from Leipzig had the idea of helping preserve the larks by creating a new, sweet version of Leipziger Lerchen filled with nut cream and jam. He and his team consoled the saddened gourmets with this sweet treat, which has survived to this day. In addition to original Leipziger Lerchen, you can also find Lerchen made with different nuts and jams in bakeries.

A super easy and healthy chicken dish that’s packed with awesome Middle Eastern flavour thanks to a generous amount of za'atar, lemon and garlic. I served the chicken with a tahini lemon dressing, but a Greek yoghurt dressing would be great too. Za'atar is a versatile herb blend deeply rooted in Middle Eastern and Levant cuisine and offers a unique flavour with a balanced blend of tart, spicy, and slightly sour flavors. It typically contains toasted sesames, thyme, oregano, marjoram, sumac and salt.

If you're into vibrant, smoky, fiery, and zesty food, you will love this African-inspired chicken tariq. Tariq here refers to the Rock of Gibraltar island, which comes from the Arabic Jabal Tariq ("Mountain of Tariq"), named after the Arabic commander Tariq ibn Ziyad. While geographically European, its proximity to Africa and historical ties, the food in Gibraltar blends British pub grub, Spanish tapas, and North African flavours. Creamy yohugrt and spicy harissa create a tender, flavourful, and golden crispy baked chicken dish that you'll turn to time and time again. The yoghurt tenderize the chicken and adds creaminess, balancing the harissa's heat for a rich, zesty flavour. Great to serve with flatbread, rice or just a simple salad.
