Quinoa is like the anti-clique friend who weaves seamlessly from one…

Cucumber Salad with Peanuts and Cilantro
Okay let’s set the scene. Christmas has been and gone. There are so many glittery decorations all over your house and bits of crumpled up wrapping paper that it looks like Christmas has thrown up in there. You live in a small place anyway but now it starts to feel claustrophobic from all the tinsel hanging down from the ceiling, empty boxes on…
Sweet Potatoes, Fennel and Smack

Ginger Fizz
‘FUCK SCURVEY. Yell it loud. Frighten the neighbours.’ -Thug Kitchen. If I wasn’t in love with Thug Kitchen before, I certainly am now. I was at a friend’s house and I’d brought Bourbon, a bag of tangerines, Cards Against Humanity, and the promise of a good time. I don’t know about everybody else but I was certainly…

Jap My Chae. Jap it Good.
Japchae. I hadn’t heard of this spectacularly tasty Korean Classic dish before. Awesome name, awesome taste. And so friggin’ fast to make. Which is what we like in my house. Especially on days where I misread other recipes that say crazy things like ‘leave to chill in fridge for 2 hours’ half way through the recipe….
Puttanesca: Not Just a Dirty Word, Also a Dope Dinner
Polenta Puttanesca I’m not quite sure why, but to my ears Puttanesca sounds like a dirty word. Like something you’d call a stranger’s mother during a heated argument…You know what I’m saying? It kinda just rolls off the tongue like a cuss word. I don’t know whether it’s accidental that it sounds like a dirty word, but regardless of…
