Cherry tomato and quails egg canapés
A perfect canapé to me is the perfect bite. You get a balanced mini bite that, let’s face it, makes you want another one. A friend of mine brought a cheese from Georgia where she recently went on holiday. She knows how much I like ingredients I haven’t used before and came back with a … Continue reading
Summery roasted butternut squash
We had a spell of summer lately and all our vegetables and herbs are growing like crazy.

Egg yolk ravioli with beef jam, bavette steak and avocado salsa

As far back as I can remember I was told how important it is to eat breakfast and for just as long I remember never being hungry in the morning. Perhaps my body takes a bit longer to wake up but as a result I have always loved brunch. When I am home I like … Continue reading
