Manx Fruit Bonnag Like this recipe? You’ll love my online British cooking class! If the Isle of Man can lay claim to a ‘best known dish’, it would be bonnag. The name probably comes from the same root as Scots bannock and I believe it would originally have been a simple soda bread or griddle […]
Churri Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Indian cooking class inspired by Ajoy Joshi! Churri is the traditional accompaniment to Indian biryani and roasted meats, the fresh herbs and tangy yoghurt and buttermilk brighten up the slow-cooked meat and rich onion.

Seafood Pot Pies Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Australian cooking class inspired by Matt Moran!

I use Pepe Saya buttermilk for an added tang, but use regular […]
Southern Hush Puppies Like this recipe? You’ll love my online cooking class featuring the food of America’s Deep South! I’ve been intrigued by hush puppies ever since a friend who grew up in the American South told me about them. He said that when the good old boys were sitting around the campfire at night […]
Mango Lassi Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Indian cooking class inspired by Ajoy Joshi! Sometimes made with buttermilk instead of, or as well as, yoghurt, lassi is a refreshing drink that can be served for breakfast or as a snack at any time. It can be flavoured with pureed fruit such as mango […]
Buttermilk Scones Like this recipe? You’ll love my online Australian cooking class inspired by Matt Moran! People dropping by unexpectedly? All you need is self-raising flour, milk and 30 minutes to whip up a batch of scones (see FAQ below if you only have plain flour). If you have buttermilk (thanks Pepe) they’ll be even […]
