Chocolate, Olive Oil and Sea Salt Toast

This morning while I was emailing Arjun some shops to go to in Barcelona to bring back olive oil and chorizo, I got distracted by blogs filled with photos of padrón peppers and patatas bravas. But what really stuck in my head was something I hadn’t tried in Barcelona before: chocolate with salt and olive […]

Eating Alone

I’m a lazy cook when it comes to cooking for one. I’ll go to great lengths to cook a meal when I have company, and even take a three hour drive to break bread with friends – but when it comes to fixing myself a meal, I’ll look for as easy way out. I usually […]

Market Lunch: Pear and Beetroot Salad

Every time I go to the market, I try and buy something entirely new to me, or a different variety of a known fruit or vegetable.

Market Lunch: Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella Salad

I’m back in Paris after a lovely summer in London and I’m loving my new neighbourood in the 15ème. It’s dotted with boulangeries, cute cafés at every corner, a lovely park (with free city wifi!) with a spot for beekeeping, a couple of fromageries (with one right downstairs from my apartment) and butchers who look […]

Avocado Toast

I find that my flavour preferences are changing. This happens to me from time to time and I am surprised at myself for wanting to eat things I didn’t much care for. Like pistachios. I never liked them as a kid. I was so finicky, I’d pick them out of desserts that my grandma made […]

Wild Rice Salad

In my last few days in Paris before moving to London to study the patisserie program at Le Cordon Bleu, I wanted to do a whole lot of things. I wanted to to cook with Jennie for Friday Lunches – our weekly lunch pop-up where she cooks and I bake and we feed lots of […]
