NEW RECIPE: Chargrilled Plum and Rocket Salad with Orange-Mint-Basil Vinaigrette This was inspired, as are most of my best ideas, by Catriona White, who also (co-incidentally) taught me everything I know about salads. Once a personal chef and now a cheesemonger, Catriona's grasp of flavours taught me how to cook in an entirely new way - and most definitely gave rise to this recipe. While I've put pearl barley in this recipe as a way to plump it up a bit and make it into more of a full meal, you really don't have to; you can use more plums and no barley at all if you wish. However, don't miss out on the vinaigrette. It's a doozy. RECIPE HERE: http://bit.ly/ChargrilledPlumandRocketSalad

#Sunday #brunch: oregano and spinach farinata (inspired by Italy), seared mushrooms with more spinach, steamed asparagus with garlic oil as lemon and a plain ol' avocado. Serve with black #coffee. Just gorgeous - and the farinata worked!

Just your usual Thursday night #dinner. Brined and pan-fried sweetheart cabbage, baked then set on a bed of thyme-fried shallots, cavolo nero and mushrooms, finished with a mock teriyaki sauce and a garlic-lemon tofu emulsion. And spring onions. Orange and tahini cake for afters

NEW RECIPE: #Vegan Bulgur Wheat Upma: South Indian Breakfast Upma, a popular breakfast in South India, is usually made from cream of wheat or “cracked wheat” (which you can actually find in your local Indian grocery store), but I find that bulgur wheat is a fantastic alternative as it’s cheap, widely available and holds its shape well in this dish. The spices aren’t too much but do lend this recipe all of its flavour, and asafoetida is an absolute essential, as it often is in South Indian dishes. This is a breakfast dish made in the home of my Indian friend, and I loved it. There’s something about eating semi-spicy food in the morning that just seems to give your metabolism a jump start. It’s fantastic as a breakfast for after a morning workout, as it’s got a food dose of protein and is low in calories (if that’s your thing). You can even make this the night before and reheat it in the morning, or even make a large batch on a weekend to see you through the week. You’ll be wide awake and full of slow-release energy after this, I promise. RECIPE HERE: http://bit.ly/VeganBulgurUpma
