Zesty Hot Cross Buns

You are free to decide whether this recipe is just an excuse to make hot cross buns or hoard orange peel.  But either way.  Hoard the orange peel.  And make the hot cross buns.

Crispy Crushed Chickpeas

Crispy Crushed Chickpeas

My new favourite way to eat chickpeas.  Literally perfect for when you have no meat on hand but are looking for something with a hit of salt, bite, and smokiness to hit the spot.  [That and I just decided on an alliterative name of which I’m quite proud].

6L of Whole Milk

In continuation of what to do when - to avoid throwing down the drain and with respect to my #NoWaste kitchen experiments - your friends give you 6L of Whole Milk [to carry single-handedly on the tube home]...

If I’m honest with you, I genuinely blew myself away with this one (and trust me when I say I've never said, let alone thought that).  I'm now about to share with you the recipe that was possibly the biggest success of my small-dinner-big-ideas night: Juice Pulp Pasta.

Almonds: 2 for the Price of 1

Almonds: 2 for the Price of 1

The world has become obsessed with Almond Milk.  Not going to lie, I do like it.  It’s a different taste to regular milk, lighter.  I mean it’s effectively flavoured water.  Which I don’t normally like.  Not a cucumber in my drink kind of girl.  But almonds?  And honey.  And vanilla… yes please.

Tomato Tarte Tatin

Tomato Tarte Tatin

Summer has finally hit.  And with it, an abundance of tomatoes. *Happy Dance*.  Which is an even better excuse to devour tomatoes at every opportunity.  Tomatoes are, after all, the essence of summer, and while I desperately wish I had an Italian tomato plantation at the end of my garden, (I guess we can't have everything...), this tart definitely does any and all tomatoes (even those not Italian), justice.

Mediterranean Pasta Salad

Mediterranean Pasta Salad

This is the best and only pasta salad, you will ever need in your life.  We can shake on it if you’d like?  Here’s why: it literally combines everything you need in a dish, in texture, flavour, colour, nutritional balance and indulgence.  Even Masterchef would be impressed.  So simple, packed with flavour, born from the simple desire to eat all our favourite things.  And whaddya know, perfect leftover-pasta-bestover-recipe (how's that for a tongue-twister): my mum’s Mediterranean Pasta Salad.
