Recipes we love
When we’re not eating these dishes, we’re telling all our friends about them...
Bacon & onion jam on toast
Slather this sweet, salty mixture onto toasted sourdough and then top with a fried egg. That's breakfast done right.
Pistachio & cherry pancakes
Cherry and pistachio are kindred spirits and the oozy red and green make for a very pretty pancake indeed.
Lemony kale & chickpea soup
Packed with orzo and chickpeas, this bowl of goodness is inspired by the Greek dish avgolemono.
A really good banana bread
It’s simple, satisfying and dangerously moreish – banana bread is the ultimate token of love.
Hainanese chicken rice
Chilli, ginger and sweet soy sauce make poached chicken and rice absolutely sing with flavour.
Rhubarb crumble scones
A perfect partnership of rhubarb and oats, these are great for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or any day, really...
Kale
This vibrant, curly brassica is a fighter – it loves cold and frost, unlike some other greens. It also cooks like a dream.
Cauliflower
What we love most about broccoli’s blonde sibling is its flavour-absorbing nooks and crannies.
