I've become pretty obsessed with mulling everything in sweet Christmassy spices in the last couple of weeks (understandably!), but nothing beats mulled wine. I want to share the immense pleasure that I

Now I literally have no idea how this name came about. Maybe one day in Thailand, a drunk man came home after a night out, had an extreme case of the munchies, had no idea what to cook and simply threw

Thanksgiving isn't a thing in the UK, but I always loved seeing all of the films with Thanksgiving dinner scenes serving all of those delicious dishes- and now I am actually a part of it! So excited to

OMG, i think I have like 5 minutes to get this entry in before the deadline hits! So no time to type, just post! But recipe is pretty simple- pour your favourite coffee into an ice tray, stick in the freezer

I know this is more of summer food rather than autumn, but where I am currently in Hong Kong, it is so warm therefore a chilled dessert is in order! I've never actually eaten chia seeds, nor have I even

So as you can guess, I recently returned from a holiday in the paradise island known by the world as Bali. In the midst of Indonesia, this richly green and blue isle is bursting with nature and of course

It's been a while since I made a sandwich worthy of entering into the steemit sandwich contest, but I feel this one is adequate- a pretty little galette (pimped up name for a pancake basically!) with some

It's been a while since I've set foot in the realms of SIC, but after a long summer of travelling, I'm back and thought it necessary to enter the final round of the iron chef contet, which hopefully I'm

A wonderfully rich tart with flavours coming from smooth bitter dark chocolate brushed with undertones of roasted hazelnut, roses, basil, a sweet, yet sour contribution from preserved fruits, topped off

Given that it's around 40C almost everyday here in China, I can't get enough of the ice cream/lollies section in supermarkets, or pretty much anywhere! I'm quite cautious of how many calories are in them

Typical English pub food, but I made a healthier version so that I can eat it more of it (saving calories for the alcohol!). I used sweet potatoes rather than the standard white potatoes, baked them, cut

Who doesn't love chocolate (apart from crazy people)?! Chocolate is also just so diverse and is complemented by so many other flavours so I've combined mine here with orange oil- the smell just takes me

Why complicate something when it is absolutely perfect in its most simple form? Living in China, I have a wonderful array of exotic fruits available on my doorstep. Having to pay extortionate prices for

If I was a sweet potato, I would be utterly offended by those out there who ignorantly fail to see the difference between me and the common old white one. For one, sweet potatoes, when sliced, can be

Is it just me or is a two week-long holiday more than enough time for your parents to drive you clinically insane?! Having travelled around the various provinces of China under seriously hot and humid

Have you ever bitten into a baby’s bottom? And I don’t mean in the perverse or cannibal sense, but literally because a baby’s bottom is just so soft that you totally have to. Anyway, I don’t make a habit

Rumour has it that raw food is the best way to eat. Well if that’s the case, cookie dough is where I’m heading. I’m not sure why, but the dough always tastes better than the baked thing itself. Maybe because

Anything pimped up is obviously better than the original version otherwise it wouldn’t be hyped as the pimp. Ok just to clarify, it’s not necessarily a good thing to be a pimp- in the food world I mean

Some might say that bento bowls are in trend right now, maybe even a tad pretentious. Just to get things straight, I think stuffing a big, pretty bowl with a heap of salad and then sticking the word ‘bento’

Do not let the term ‘humble pie’ fool you– pie is NOT humble. If there was ever a food that offers a surprise each time you eat it, it is definitely a pie. Ok, well it can be more down to earth, but it
