Breakfast Parfait Like this recipe?Find more delicious brunch recipes here!

Chilli sin Carne Like this recipe? You’ll love my online cooking class featuring the food of America’s Deep South! Chilli sin carne is my vegetarian play on the famous Texan dish, chilli con carne.

Insalata de carciofi is one of my favourite ways to serve artichokes – simply thinly sliced with a tangy lemon dressing and a little salty cheese.

Mushroom Pappardelle Join my food & wine tour to Italy to discover more Italian regional specialties! I love mushrooms. ‘Meat for vegetarians’ one advertising campaign called them, and I’d suggest that this super quick mushroom pappardelle is so tasty that even die-hard carnivores won’t miss the meat. In autumn, when wild mushrooms appear in farmers’ […]
Chicken & Mushroom Crepes Like this recipe? You’ll love my online French cooking class Inspired by Damien Pignolet!

Escarole Frittata Join my food & wine tour to Southern Italy to discover more Italian regional specialties!

Warm Duck & Orange Salad Like this recipe? You’ll love my online French cooking class Inspired by Damien Pignolet!
