If you have followed me on Instagram over the past couple of weeks, you’ll have noticed I’ve been cooking up a storm from Jamie Oliver’s latest book, Quick and Easy Food. (it’s not out in Canada until October but I ordered the UK version because 1. I’m impatient and 2. It’s metric. ‘Nuff said) A […]

French Fridays: Potato, feta and basil tortilla from My Paris Kitchen
This week’s Cook the Book Fridays recipe from David Lebovitz’s My Paris Kitchen was a simple tortilla – a thick Spanish omelette/ frittata, typically served at room temperature.

It’s a French classic (so yes, there’s one in my […]

This week, the Tuesdays with Dorie recipe from Baking Chez Moi was an interesting take on a tea cake. Completely gluten-free (well, nearly in my case, I was 5g short of the right amount of corn flour so I topped up with all-purpose, am sure it wouldn’t have made a difference but you never know…), […]
