Sister Mag
Here are some Spring recipes I did for Sister Mag’s second issue. I need to go back to my macrobiotic phase – I felt so much better! Trouble is with Albion Cafe around the corner from work and all the amazing fresh chicken sandwiches and maple syrup yoghurt it’s no easy feat eating vegan plus…

There are a few not-everyday ingredients in those recipes including Kuzu and Agar flakes – I have linked out to Clearspring for anyone who would like more info. I’ll be publishing the recipes here soon. But for now we are…

Fun Spring days
This cake just wouldn’t photograph colour-wise. I love the composition though Sorry! I couldn’t bear that photo and had to swap it out. I spent all last week baking and cooking for a digital magazine article that’s due now. Time to finish everything and send it over! Beautiful day in London today. Today I will…

Easter long London weekend happiness
Look! An Easter tree. We found the perfect branch on the Heath and carried it home and we didn’t blow the eggs. Instead I found a little box of 12 for £3 at Heals which must have been a mistake so I bought them and they assured me that was the right price so we…

Sushi
I’ve always been under the impression Sushi was imposible to make and required great skill to get it rolled and that it would all fall apart until I’d spent months practicing. Astrid however was more optimistic, and with a few bouts of pestering me about the nori that had been in the pantry for over…

Time for a cup of tea. And a lie down.
Weekend in our house is gardening time. In amongst managing the Edith behaviour. Edith’s terrible twos are peaking. Edith is now three. There was a small Edith break when Astrid and I went to the school open day where our job is to stand outisde and talk to the dads in the garden. Astrid’s job…

Lemon and Honey cake with Spelt and Einkorn flours
The past few weeks I’ve been playing with some new ingredients. In my quest to bake a decent cake with no butter, sugar or eggs I’ve begun work on removing butter – and had some success on the sugar front. Replacing the butter, I’ve used coconut oil, which I’ve found works brilliantly as long as…

Baking birthday cake. And tidy type.
It was my birthday on Monday, and in our house blueberry and chocolate cake is called birthday cake. To make it even more special we sprinkled it with sugar and pretty edible petals from Steenbergs. Using my usual cake recipe but with blueberries. I promise this week to try some new recipes!! We took Monday…

Birthday lunch at Moro
Yesterday was my birthday and we took the day off to spend a while at Moro for lunch. I only recently discovered the whole Moro thing when I bought myself Casa Moro for Christmas. I spent several days poring through the recipes. Letting my brother hold the book on boxing day he read it for…

Banana and cardamom spelt flour tart
There’s a bit of a pattern to my cake recipe. I only really have one recipe – but I change the flours, nuts, fruit and essences so I call it “One cake, 100 ways”. Over the years I’ve tried using normal flour, buckwheat, brown and white spelt. My favourite is white spelt. I now also…

Spring. Almost
It’s almost Spring! And with that time for a bit of a clean sweep. And some new growth. With a few food projects under way this year and my growing realisation that I want to do more professional photography, I really need a proper food photography blog. And a proper photography portfolio site. So this…

Raspberry and walnut tart
This is one of the many cakes I bake using this simple base – and I cook them as tarts, in a shallow tart tin. The raspberry is lovely and tart and the cacao nibs (coarsely ground cocoa beans) are a raw, natural version of chocolate chips which are brilliantly crunchy and not at all…
