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!

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.

Most people know black radish with honey as a tried-and-tested home remedy for cough. But honestly, this ebony beauty with healing properties can do so much more! Either as crispy radish crisps, raw salad with red cress, radish bites, roasted black radish with caramelised red onions, black radish suddenly reveals a whole new side of itself – earthy, subtly sweet, distinct and really exciting. The radish chips are perfect with drinks or as a side dish with homemade burgers, steak or simply as they are with your favourite dip. They are not floury root vegetables, so don’t expect they would be super crunch like potato chips.

Traditionally Portuguese chicken is prepared with a piri piri sauce. In this recipe, I took the liberty of making a marinade using dried chilli powder instead of piri piri chilli peppers. While this recipe might seem not authentic, they do taste amazing! For optimal results, the marinade should be left on the chicken for at least 2 hours, but even better if left overnight. Instead of white asparagus, you can use sliced potatoes or pumpkin.

Mashed parsley root has significantly increased the moisture, softness, and tenderness to this sandwich loaf. I have added saffron to the dough for its bright golden-yellow colour, but it’s completely optional. You could just as easily throw some nutmeg or cinnamon into this bread too.
At first glance, parsley root and parsnip look quite similar in appearance, but the two plants are botanically quite different. Parsnip is kinda like a pale carrot, with a sweet, slightly nutty taste and a starchy texture while parsley root is earthy, savoury and herbaceous.

These caramelised, honeyed parsley roots paired with a warm, aromatic spiced buttermilk have just the right mix of earthiness and sweetness to make a crave-worthy and show-stealing side dish that’s also very easy to make. If you don’t have biryani masala on hand, garam masala is a good alternative in a pinch, but the flavour will be less complex. If you can't find parsley root, parsnip can be a good substitute.
Parsnips and parsley roots are different root vegetables in the umbellifer family, often confused due to their similar white appearance. But while the parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is an ancient cultivated vegetable in its own right, the parsley root is a specially bred form of root parsley. Parsnips are sweeter, starchy, and carrot-shaped with a distinct core, while parsley roots (or Hamburg parsley or Dutch parsley) are thinner, earthier, and taste similar to a mixture of parsley, celeriac, and carrot.

Celeriac is a great winter vegetable, but so under used. Crunchy, nutty and celery-like when raw or slightly sweet when cooked, the earthy, nutty, creamy flesh of this bulbous vegetable is a champion at soaking up flavours and works really well in this delicious and well-rounded curry. Serve it with some steamed rice or flatbread for a comforting and easy meal.

The slow-cooked beef stew with chestnuts is a warming, comforting casserole packed with rich flavours and hearty ingredients. It combines tender chunks of beef chuck roast, distinctively robust Pancetta with the earthy sweetness of chestnuts and an aromatic blend of thyme, cinnamon and tangerine peel. It tastes wonderful with a green vegetable, buttered egg noodles, or some celeriac/potato mash and benefits from being made a day or two in advance, or frozen, which works beautifully. You can also make this in your slow cooker for 4-6 hours at slow.

Black radish cough syrup is a proven, natural home remedy that is particularly effective for colds, dry coughs and bronchitis. The mustard oils contained in radish have antibacterial, antiviral and expectorant properties. When combined with honey, they form a syrup that promotes expectoration and soothes coughs. This home remedy is suitable for children aged two years and older and adults. Due to the use of honey, it should not be given to babies under one year of age.
Depending on the size of the black radishes, you can fill them with honey several times. To do this, pour out the sweet residue from the root, hollow out the radish a little deeper and then fill the honey mixture back into the black radish, adding more honey if necessary. You can repeat this procedure until the radish is hollowed out or begins to shrivel.
To ensure that the cough syrup is fully effective, it is advisable not to eat or drink anything for a couple of hours after taking it.

Tender, succulant chicken thighs with warm Moroccan spices, preserved lemons and cauliflower rice pilaf. Preserved lemons pickled in lemon juice and sea salt, adding a wonderful complexity to any dish, are a pantry staple of North African cuisine and have a unique lemon flavour without any of the bitter, tart characteristics of fresh lemons. Cauliflower rice pilaf is a low carb version of a rice pilaf made with finely chopped cauliflower. You can also serve them with regular rice or couscous for a filling meal.

The natural sweetness of caramelised red onions pairs beautifully with the pungency of the black radishes. They are lightly seasoned with thyme and lemon zest and make a great low-carb option for those who are trying to avoid potatoes.
Black radishes, aka Spanish radishes, are an heirloom winter radish that originated in the Mediterranean region. You can enjoy them both raw and roasted. Unlike traditional red or white radishes, which are relatively mild, black radishes have a slightly bitter and pungent flavour and can be a powerful medicinal food, especially when it comes to digestion and detoxification. In traditional Chinese medicine, they are believed to cure cold, help detoxify the liver, kidneys and improve skin health.
