It’s a good question. I’m off to Thailand for some sun, relaxation and fun – and eating of course. I’m not sure I’m going to drink bear bile, or drink ...

BBQ Bullhorn Peppers Stuffed with Feta
One thing I don’t think anyone can argue with is whether the Greeks know vegetarian food. Greece is one of my favourite places in the world to visit, and both times I’ve been I swelled up to the size of a beach-ball what with all the ‘sampling’ of Hellenic foods. Last time I went to […]
Baby Leek, Cauliflower and Gruyere Tart

Barbecue Chicken with Fig and Goats Cheese Stuffing
No matter the season or temperature, barbecue chicken is always a cozy, homely treat for friends and family. This is one of my tried and true, no fail recipes, and it’s a cinch to make. I freely admit that this dish is one of the main reasons I can’t turn vegetarian. Couscous is perfect stuffing […]
