Porridge for One
Just a simple recipe for porridge for one. It makes a simple bowl-full, if you’re very hungry then definitely double the recipe! I like the creaminess the yoghurt adds to the final dish and it is also great in cooling down the porridge so that you can eat it straight away. Cocoa nibs are high…

Fast Beans
You might have noticed that I like cooking one-pan dishes a lot. They’re fast, uncomplicated, full of flavour and (almost most importantly): The clean-up is kept to a bare minimum. This is a mix between baked beans and shakshuka. It‘s a healthy way to fill anyone, serve with a simple green salad if you have…

Halloumi Protein Pan
A great recipe for anyone who can or can not cook well! There’s no skill whatsoever required, the flavour packs a real punch and there’s a good 50g of protein in the meal. Eat as is or serve with sourdough bread. This meal is so quick and will leave you planning to buy the ingredients…

After School Eggs
This is one of my go-to dishes on the days my teenagers tell me in the morning that they won’t be home to eat lunch after school…and then suddenly they change their plans and both of them are standing in the kitchen, starving and hoping for a really yummy meal…😅 Whack the pan on the…

Plums for Breakfast
My son loves to eat this version of sticky plums topped with semi-crisped oats for breakfast, swimming in a pool of cream (cold, straight from the fridge and not whipped). I feel the same and will eat it at any time of the day! It’s not quite a crumble as I like the oats to…

Omelette for One
There’s nothing easier than whipping up an omelette for myself, or for anyone in the family, when I need something quick, nutritious and delicious. There is however an exact science behind cooking eggs. Cooked eggs should be soft, silky, light in texture. An omelette should be cooked for only a very short amount of time…

Fluffiest Blueberry Muffins
I‘m not the biggest muffin fan, however I do absolutely love a good blueberry muffin. The blueberry to muffin ration needs to be really high in my opinion. The dough should come out light, fluffy and not too sweet so that the sugar crust on top can really work it’s sweet magic. I think this…

Mama‘s Muesli
My kids love homemade muesli/granola, whatever you want to call it. Every week or so I whip up a baking tray full of different kind of oats, nuts and dried fruit and keep it stored in a tin container so that the kids and my husband can have it for breakfast with creamy yoghurt and…

Blueberry Joghurt Drops
There were blueberries in our kitchen today that were not old enough to warrant being thrown out but definitely didn’t have the firmness needed to be eaten raw. Easy solution: They needed to be baked or cooked. I didn’t feel like separating eggs and whipping egg whites, so I decided to make my joghurt drops…

School Holiday Brunch
Breakfast/brunch at our house in the school holidays is often well after noon. While the kids are often still keen for breakfast-y type foods, I like to eat something savoury at this time of day and generally try to find a way to find a healthy-ish compromise ☺️. Today‘s meal was simple but yummy and…

Quincy’s Porridge
Quincy is my 18 year old who eats with just as much gusto as anyone else in our family, particularly adores blackberries and loves porridge. I woke this morning to a sweet text from him, sent well after midnight, asking if we could have breakfast together this morning and if it could please be porridge…
