From cookbook pages to my table 📚 Veg-forward, occasionally otherwise 🍤🍗 Salads, soups, sweets & what I’m cooking now 😌
Opened the fridge for Monday lunch. No leftovers. No plan. Eggs to the rescue. Jamie Oliver’s Scrambled Eggs from Simply Jamie with silky curds, crisp buttered toast and a jarred jalapeño, mint and honey salsa. Sometimes the simplest lunch wins. 🍜🍽️
My banana maths failed again, leaving me with 3 ripe ones. Luckily, they became Banana, Pecan & Chia Bread by @helen_goh_bakes. Vegan, tender, warmly spiced with cinnamon, maple syrup, tahini, walnuts & chia seeds with a bonus charred line on top from Ninja Flip as it lacks enough height #food 🍜🍽️
Pear, Goat Cheese and Hot Honey Belgian Endive Bites. Crisp endive leaves filled with creamy goat cheese, sweet pear, hot honey, toasted walnuts and thyme. Sweet, tangy, crunchy and a little spicy. The pear brings the sweetness. The hot honey brings the attitude. 👌 #food 🍜🍽️
Grilled Chicken from Suki Pantal’s No Worries, Just Chicken Curries (@suki_kitchen_stories): juicy barbecue drumsticks with caramelized onion, yogurt, ginger, garlic and spices, finished with buttery basting. Smoky, tangy, spicy and very hard to stop eating. #BBQChicken #food 🍜🍽️ #foodsky
Stove Top Steel Cut Oats with Haskap Berries: creamy, nutty oats with a little chew, tart juicy berries from @countryboys and edible flowers because breakfast deserves a bit of colour too. #food 🍜🍽️
Nai Yau Gu (Creamy Butter Mushrooms) from The Vegan Asian Kitchen by @woon.heng was dinner tonight. Fresh maitake mushrooms and yellow beans from @countryboysproduce made this creamy coconut, garlic and curry leaf dish extra special. Rich, savoury and perfect with warm rice.
A seasonal take on Ode to Elena’s Kale Caesar from @hettymckinnon’s Linger. Baby kale, Belgian endives and edible flowers from @countryboysproduce, all tossed in a creamy roasted garlic and tahini dressing with a savoury finish from grated cheese. Crisp, fresh and delicious. #food 🍜🍽️
Locally grown white, purple and green asparagus from @countryboysproduce became Grilled Asparagus with Miso and Olives by @ottolenghi. Smoky, sweet asparagus with a salty, nutty miso, olive and pine nut dressing. Every spear vanished fast. #food 🍜🍽️
Riz Au Lait from Ready For Dessert by @davidlebovitz is creamy, silky and full of vanilla flavour. I skipped the caramel and topped mine with strawberry compote made from farmers’ market berries. Comfort in a bowl. #RicePudding #food 🍜🍽️
Brown Rice with Caramelized Onions and Black Garlic: nutty rice folded with deeply caramelized onions, bright lemon peel, sweet earthy black garlic, fresh parsley, and yogurt on the side. Proof that humble pantry ingredients can be surprisingly dramatic. Recipe by @Ottolenghi from Simple. #food 🍜🍽️
Sweet Sesame Noodle Salad from @thekoreanvegan’s The Korean Vegan Homemade: glossy noodles coated in soy, brown rice syrup, and rice vinegar, with softened celery, scallions, and ginger. Finished with sesame oil, furikake, and black pepper. Absolutely irresistible. #food 🍜🍽️ #KoreanVeganHomemade
Broccoletti Strascinati by @theo.randall from The Italian Table. Tenderstem broccoli, slowly cooked with garlic and olive oil until meltingly soft. No fresh chilli on hand, so used red bell pepper. Simple, silky, and full of flavour. Broccoli had cute flowers, that I sprinkled on top. 🍜🍽️ #food
Masala Shrimp by @abrowntable from The Flavour Equation delivers big flavour with very little effort. Tender shrimp coated in garlic, ginger, lime, garam masala, tomato paste, cooked until juicy pink. Warm naan for chasing every last drop of those rich spiced juices. G #food 🍜🍽️ #foodsky
After a heatwave-filled few days in Paris, coming home to cooler weather had me craving comfort food. So I made @madeleinesmeals’ Jammy Eggs on Garlicky Yogurt: creamy garlicky yogurt, soft jammy eggs, chilli crisp butter, coriander, and sesame seeds. Cozy breakfast perfection. 🍜🍽️ #foodsky
This Mango & Salted Seeds Parfait from @sami_tamimi’s Boustany was made for mango season. Fluffy mango cream, sweet mango pieces, and a crisp crumble of sunflower seeds, panko, cinnamon, and vanilla. Creamy, crunchy, sweet, and salty all in one glass. Hard to stop at one serving. #Mango #food 🍜🍽️
Kimchi, Potato & Cabbage Pasta from @thekoreanvegan’s The Korean Vegan Homemade is comfort food with a lively streak. Tender potatoes, soft cabbage, melty cheese, tangy kimchi, and fragrant garlic butter come together in one very satisfying dish. Unexpected? Maybe. Delicious? Absolutely. #food 🍜🍽️
Beets with Celery, Apple & Tahini is all about contrast. Sweet roasted beets, crisp apple, celery, tangy vinaigrette, and tahini drizzle. Sliced almonds for extra layer of toasted crunch. Bright, fresh, and anything but boring salad @alisoneroman Something from Nothing #Beetroot #food 🍜🍽️ #foodsky
Grilled Chicken from @suki_kitchen_stories’ No Worries, Just Chicken Curries is the kind of barbecue recipe that keeps everyone hovering near the grill. Juicy, smoky drumsticks with charred edges, warming spices, and tangy yogurt marinade. Add lemony onions on side and dinner is sorted. #food 🍜🍽️
Spinach Lentils by @chetnamakan from her new cookbook "5 Ingredient Indian" is proof that a few ingredients can go a long way. Soft red lentils, tender spinach, and a fragrant cumin-garlic tadka create a bowl that’s rich, comforting, and full of flavour. #food 🍜🍽️ #foodsky
Hot summer day. Cold beer. Platter of Nachos with Eggs and Barbecue Sauce. Crunchy chips loaded with smoky barbecue sauce, creamy chopped eggs, tomatoes, onions, olives, kewpie mayo, and sriracha. A little messy, very snackable, and the perfect companion to a barbecue in progress. #food 🍜🍽️ #foodsky

The Chocolate-Chocolate Pound Cake by @davidlebovitz is a chocolate lover’s dream: rich crumb, deep cocoa flavour, dark chocolate frosting. I ran short on 60% chocolate, used 85% for the frosting, so ended up with a slightly grainy finish. Still delicious. Round two is calling. #food #foodsky 🍽️🍜
My first recipe from The Italian Table was Theo Randall’s (@theo.randall) Asparagus with Fried Egg and Parmesan. With asparagus season nearly over, this felt like the right choice. Tender spears, a crisp fried egg, and parmesan. Fresh, creamy, and beautifully simple. 🌿 #food 🍜🍽️ #foodsky #asparagus
The Italian Table by Theo Randall @theo.randall is the kind of cookbook that reminds you why simple food endures. It takes readers through Italy one course at a time, with regional recipes, seasonal ingredients, and plenty of reasons to invite people over for dinner 👌 #ItalianFood #food 🍜🍽️ #foodsky
