There is something wonderfully indulgent about a Phaidon book.

Book Review // Tasty & Healthy
Tasty & Healthy is a book devised by top Israeli chef, Omer Miller, food writer, Elinoar Rabin and gastroenterologist, Professor Dan Turner, mainly aimed at providing support for cooking for those with food intolerances and special conditions.

BOOK REVIEW // Salt & Time, recipes from a Russian Kitchen by Alissa Timoshkina
In all honesty, when I was approached to review this book I thought to myself ‘Really? Siberian Food? Honestly?’ I guess I was one of many, guilty of stereotyping Russian food into either matriarchs romantically eating Blinis and Caviar whilst downing shots of icy Vodka, or Soviets desperately scratching around the shelves for whatever tinned […]

Leith’s-trained chef, Susie Morrison, finally found a cookbook which totally floored her.

Vegan Malt Loaf recipe
This vegan malt loaf recipe from Matt Pritchard’s Dirty Vegan cookbook was the one which intrigued writer Lizzie the most. Mainly because it used tea! There are so many plant-based sweet treats available now but a lot of them are rather sickly sweet – this is quite different and also pretty dense so a slice […]
Chickpea Kickshaws with Coconut Sambal
If you’re looking to impress visitors, these chickpea kickshaws will do the trick. Unusual and tasty, these are from Matt Pritchard’s Dirty Vegan cookbook. These tasty little treats make the perfect starter, although they’re so moreish, it wouldn’t be hard to get through a whole batch in one go… The sambal compliments the kickshaws perfectly […]
Red pepper goulash
A hearty warming meal from the Dirty Vegan recipe book by Matt Pritchard. This was one of the first recipes Lizzie made and she loved it. If you’re looking for somewhere to start with going meat-light or meat-free, this is a fantastic first recipe. Especially if you’re a proper meat-eater! The jackfruit gives it a […]
