Megrim, Cornish sole & wild garlic capers
Sometimes I love the idea of having a couple of days doing nothing but when I try I always come to the conclusion that it isn’t for me. This week was supposed to be on the quiet side but when I had a few hours of nothing planned I had an urge to go and … Continue reading
Leeks with creamed potatoes
Sometimes I find an ingredient that I know I want to cook with and this time it was baby leeks. Leek is an amazing and humble vegetable. I almost always have it at home and it makes a base to many dishes. This time I wanted to make the leek the star of the dish. … Continue reading
Cauliflower & garlic soup
This year it feels like winter is a bit colder and longer than what it has been in a long time. I did read that it has not been this cold in the south east in ten years. The cold doesn’t deter me from going out and when I came out from the pub the … Continue reading
Crispy summer rolls

This salumi comes from the Parma region and it is only made in Lombardy and Emilia Romagna, Italy. The flavor is delicate yet distinct. My first instinct was to boil some angel hair pasta and … Continue reading

It means making time for friends and colleagues to share a cup of coffee (or tea) and a little something to eat.” The last time I … Continue reading
Lemon Garlic & Prawn Spaghetti
I don’t know about you but I always eat too much over the holidays and this year was no different. I did a mini version of a Swedish Christmas dinner and I cooked a whole turkey on Christmas day. All leftovers were made in to a curry by M on boxing day and I am … Continue reading
Nasturtium wrapped Prawn Balls
I watched a program about a man travelling to the far corners of Japan finding what I can only describe as unique food communities and ingredients. I have sadly forgotten the name of the program but what I do remember are the prawn balls he made, they looked incredible. He used a root vegetable I … Continue reading
