Autumn is a great time of year for fresh produce, and I love when squash is everywhere. Butternut squash is a great, diverse vegetable that can be used in so many ways. You’ve already seen me use it in risotto. soup and plainly roasted. You also know how much I love dough and throwing things…

Orange Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
My final GBBO-inspired bake comes in the form of a chocolate cake. While the bakers had to make a chocolate layer cake, I opted out of the layers in order to bring this delicious, moist, secretly vegan chocolate cake. This cake came about after someone asked me if I could make a dairy free cake…
Tomato Tarte Tatin
I’m a few weeks behind on my Great British Bake Off inspired bakes, thanks to actually getting out on the weekends and doing things, so I do apologise that this post is going up around the same time as the Finale is being aired. First off, don’t bother making your own puff pastry. Honestly, it’s…
Berry Vanilla Waffles
It’s not often that I want waffles, but when I do, I want them to be crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and delicious through and through. I’ve been eyeing up this waffle iron at one of the only bake shops we have in Hong Kong, and I finally got round to purchasing…
Fig, Brussels Sprouts & Goat’s Cheese Flatbread
When you need something easy, to use up ingredients that you have in the fridge, or just because it’s fig season, trust me when I say that this should be your go to recipe. It’s quick, easy, and delicious. It’ll hit every craving you have and then some. I promise. Ingredients 1 onion, thinly sliced40…
Gochujang Tofu Bowl
I told you I’d come up with some more recipes using gochujang. This time, using tofu. Another vegetarian- and vegan-friendly meal for you all to try. This one takes a couple of days to make, as I highly recommend marinating the tofu in the gochujang sauce at least overnight in the fridge, if not for…
Kale and Soba Noodle Stir Fry
Some days all you need is a super quick and easy meal that doesn’t require a lot of effort, nor is there a strict recipe to follow. I always feel uncertain as to whether I should share some of this easier recipe with you all. In my head, you all know how to throw together…
Asparagus Frittata
Every time I hear the word frittata, I can only picture it in Harrison Ford’s voice in Morning Glory, a movie about a morning talk show. If you don’t know what I’m talking about click here and go to the 2:35 mark. Anyway, I had a bunch of asparagus and mushrooms that needed using up,…
Gochujang Cauliflower
For those of you who don’t know, Gochujang is Korean red pepper paste. It’s the slightly spicy flavouring in a lot of Korean dishes – bibimbap, Korean fried chicken wings, bulgogi, etc. It’s delicious, pungent and lasts a really long time if stored in the fridge. I’ve been wanting to experiment with it for a…
Stuffed Courgette Flowers
I’d never really eaten courgette flowers before, not whole anyway. I may have had them chopped up and sprinkled into a salad, but I’d never had them whole. Mainly because they’re a rarity in Hong Kong, so it’s not something that we come by easily (or cheaply if they are available). So, when my dad…
Mexican Corn Salad
You’ll notice a running theme in the blog posts at the moment. This all leads up to the finale of the pork belly tacos. This corn salad is a slightly lighter version than a traditional Mexican crema salad, and uses Feta instead of cojita cheese. Cojita cheese is quite difficult to find in your standard…
Mexican Spinach & Mushroom Bake
When making a meal, a lot of people don’t think much about side dishes. They tend to get cast aside or thrown together without much thought or love. I’ve been guilty of the same thing, especially when making fajitas or tacos. I never really think about side dishes that could complement the main focus of…
