Easter is one of the most important Christian holidays, celebrated across the world in a variety of ways. In Ukraine, the Easter holiday is steeped in tradition and culture, and is typically marked by a delicious and unique food item – Paska. Paska is a type of sweet bread that is traditionally baked and eaten…
It’s autumn and there are pumpkins everywhere. I love Thai red curry, so this is something similar to that. You don’t have to add MSG, but you’re missing out if you don’t (you can get it in Asian supermarkets). Ingredients Serves 8 4 small Hokkaido pumpkins (~1.5kg), peeled and cubed 1.5cm 2tbsp vegetable oil Red curry…
I read a blog post about Pad Thai, and on my way back to my flat discovered an awesome Thai supermarket (the supermarket even had the exact same tamarind concentrate as David photographed). Cool coincidence, so I bought (most of) the ingredients. (Forgot peanuts, bother). I find it easier to condense a recipe before cooking…

Heat lemon juice and white wine…

It’s Sunday, and I picked up a chicken whilst in the supermarket yesterday shopping for fruit to make a smoothie which I hope counteracts the effects of the previous evening’s beer. I also decided to make marmalade for some reason, but that’s a different story. I can’t be bothered to do anything complicated, so it’s…
Wandering through Borough Market, I was suckered in with free cheese and noticed some reblochon. One thing led to another. The only bacon I could find was wild boar, which is apparently “gamier”. I mostly followed this recipe. I boiled the potatoes (with a little vinegar which apparently stops them disintegrating). Dice onion and slice bacon…
