Crustless Cherry Radish Quiche
Wednesday, May 06, 2026| |
|
A crustless quiche is quite simply baked eggs (just like Italian frittata) and literally anything else you want to throw in, but no fussy pastry to chill or roll. It’s easy, delicious, naturally gluten free and perfect for breakfast, brunch or picnic. Don’t toss those peppery radish greens which are great in salads, blended into pesto or saute them just like you sauteed spinach. I have turned the radish tops into a pesto and served with quiche. A zero waste meal!
Quick Onion Bread Rolls

These crispy onion bread roll do not require yeast and are very easy to prepare. Thanks to the use of baking powder, you can skip the long proof process and pop it in the oven straight after kneading and forming. The Quark and fried onions make it wonderfully moist and flavourful – the perfect accompaniment to dinner or a party! I used the homemade caramelised onions. But if you are short on time, use 130-150 g storebought fried onions. You can also upgrade the bread with some extra grated Cheddar, and/or bacon bits. Creamy spreads (liver paste, egg salad or cheese spread) are the perfect accompaniment with this onion bread for any snack or lunch. This onion bread tastes best on the day it is made. However, if stored in an airtight container, it can be kept at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. It can also be frozen without any problem.
Quick Wild Garlic Loaf

This aromatic bread gets its distinctive flavour from the addition of finely chopped wild garlic, which not only adds a fantastic, mild, and sweet garlicky flavour to the loaf, but it is also a nutrient-dense "superfood" with numerous health benefits. With spelt flour, milk and Parmigiano Reggiano, it turns out wonderfully hearty and moist. Best of all: it requires no yeast at all and can be mixed together with baking powder in just a few minutes. Whether for breakfast, as a side dish for a barbecue, or simply spread with butter – this quick bread is a real treat for all wild garlic fans!

If you are looking for a dinner that’s incredibly full of amazing flavour and unbelievably easy to make, look no further. This delicious herb Parmesan chicken legs recipe features crispy, skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks coated with a mixture of olive oil, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, garlic, herbs, anchovy and chilli, then baked at 220C/430F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. It is a simple, gluten-free and low-carb meal. Serve them with some greens of your choice or if you have no issue with carbs, with lots of crusty bread to mop up the delicious sauce.
Persimmon and Frisée Salad with Goat Cheese
Saturday, April 04, 2026Are you looking for a quick salad that is fresh, delicious and full of flavour? Then this frisée salad with persimmon and goat cheese is just right for you. This salad not only tastes great, it also looks pretty. Frisée lettuce can be stacked attractively on a plate thanks to its curly, frizzy texture. The tangy, earthy flavour of goat cheese provides a delightful contrast to the sweet and crunchy texture of ripe persimmons while the apple cider vinegar dressing emphasises the fruity sweetness. I prefer the goat cheese as it is, but you can try brushing the goat cheese rounds with 1-2 teaspoons of honey and roast at 200C/400F for 8-10 minutes.
Carrot and Snow Pea Quiche

|
A delicous vegetable quiche that’s great for a spring meal. It’s super easy to make, perfect hot or cold for brunch or dinner. Make the crust from scratch if possible, but if you are in a pinch, a quality store-bought all-butter crust would work as well. I replaced some flour with toasted sunflower seeds, you can use almonds or just same amount of flour instead. The filling is loaded with lots of snow peas and baby carrots, but you can use whatever veggies you want for it.
Cheesy Sausage and Runny Egg Muffins

These aren’t your average breakfast muffins. These cheesy sausage muffins have a beautiful runny egg inside a savory, tender, fluffy sausage and cheese muffin. They are ready in 30 minutes and perfect for breakfast, brunches, or snacks! For boiled eggs, use older eggs as they are easier to peel. Use smoked salmon instead of sausage if you prefer and smoked tofu if you are a vegetarian. The boiled eggs can be done a day before. Next day, freeze the unpeeled eggs in the freezer for not more than 30 minutes while you prepare the batter. This way, the eggs are cold and will stay runny after baking.
Ras El Hanout Carrot Galette

|
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!
Black Radish Soda Bread

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.
Mint Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

These cookie bars has a base of a peanuty cookies crust, a gooey filling featuring cream cheese, mint dark chocolate and roasted peanuts and a sensational crumble topping. The recipe is super easy to put together and makes the most delicious dessert! I have used coconut sugar, which is lower on the glycemic index than regular brown sugar, and replaced white sugar with erythritol, which doesn't significantly impact blood sugar levels, so you can indulge a bit without feeling too gulity.
Baked Chicken in Cacio e Pepe Bagna Cauda Sauce
Tuesday, February 17, 2026| |
|
An Italian-inspired chicken dish that combines the creamy, cheesy flavours of cacio e pepe (literally translated as cheese and pepper) with a bagna cauda, meaning "hot sauce or hot gravy" in the Piedmontese dialect of Italy, referring to a warm, umami-rich sauce made with garlic, anchovies and olive oil/butter. Black pepper is an important component in this dish, so stay away from the pre-ground stuff and use the freshly milled one. If you don’t have wine on hand or just don’t want to use alcohol, then use same amount of chicken stock with a splash of lemon juice. Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, crusty bread or pasta to soak up the rich sauce.
