Pap/Polenta Canapé Bases
Deal with leftover pap or polenta by transforming them into canapé bases.
Peach & Ricotta Muffins
I've been gently steering my baking efforts towards things that are a bit more wholesome and these muffins from Philosophy of Flavour seemed like the perfect recipe to tweak.
Wholewheat Banana Pancakes
I've adapted a basic pancake recipe to suit a low-GI approach to eating.
Raspberry Yoghurt Cups
This combination of yoghurt, raspberries, syrup and finger biscuits makes for a light dessert, perfect for serving at the end of a rich or spicy meal.
Home-made chocolate walnut spread
There's something about Nutella that induces a Pavlovian reaction at its very mention. It's almost sacrosanct. So much so that my little concoction may be considered a blasphemy. My version incorporates walnuts and is influenced by the toffee-notes in the agave nectar I used.
Two ways with cream cheese
Two dips created using a starter base of cream cheese and sour cream.
Roasted Aubergine and Feta Mediterranean Dip
While this dip takes its base cue from baba ganoush, I wanted to create something that brought to mind the tastes and textures of the Mediterranean.
Blueberry Cream Cheese Dip
The blueberries provide colour, texture and a subtle foil of sweet against savoury in this cream cheese-based dip.
Vegetable and Feta Spread
A wholesome savoury spread made with aubergine, courgettes and feta.
Beetroot Cupcakes
Crowned with a pop of lemon buttercream and a cherry on the top, these beetroot cupcakes are pretty and palate-pleasing enough for special occasions or lunch-box specials.
Cranberry & walnut cream cheese spread
A show-stopper savoury accompaniment for both festive and casual tablescapes.
Blitzed baba ghanoush baby!
This flavourful aubergine and coriander spread takes less than six minutes to prepare.
Festive drinking: Litchi Crush and a Mulberry Mixer
Not only do the make a great base, blended frozen fruit add a wonderfully textured mouth-feel to your mixed drinks.
Strawberry Triple
I call this the Strawberry Triple, as it's exactly that; three layers of strawberried variation.
Homemade Almond Roca
Finally, a recipe where I get to use the liquid glucose I've been hoarding
