The classic combination of rhubarb and apple always works and when combined with this buttery almond filling, it makes a stunning dessert or even a decadent afternoon tea.

There are many reasons I love British food, one being my husband and extended family are British, which gave me first-hand knowledge of the traditions and pride the dishes held.

Local fennel is crisp, plump and full of flavour at the moment and it is one of those vegetables that the more you use, the more you appreciate its unique flavour and you will also be surprised how...

This dish not only tastes delicious, but it looks outstanding.

This chutney is tangy and will go with cheese and cold cuts splendidly. The other great advantage of this chutney is that it only takes about 20 minutes to cook.

Roasting cabbage is something I often overlook. The flavour and texture of roast cabbage will pleasantly surprise you. It would be lovely on its own with perhaps some tahini yoghurt or I like to...

Sandwiches have been around since the 1700s and, thankfully, times have changed.

This recipe is one I found many years ago in an old French cookbook. I love the array of humble ingredients, which when combined with the fragrant baked quince make a spectacular dessert.

I thoroughly enjoy making warming salads at this time of the year. I love using the wide variety of hearty autumn vegetables and combining them with spices.

This salad is packed with flavour, colour and nutrition and one that takes only minutes to prepare.

This slaw gets better with age, as the flavours intensifies yet the cabbage keeps its crunch. I can't seem to get enough and I find myself having it in the fridge to munch on as my go-to.

Autumn brings us many pleasures. Sweet, velvety pumpkins are one of them and not only for their sweet flavour but they are economical and versatile addition to our menus.

This soup is one that has many fond memories as I first tasted it when I worked at the River Cafe in London. I was in heaven; the simplicity of flavours and the fact that it used up old bread!

Yay, time for a break. I have put together some easy yet tasty recipes for the holidays. They are simple yet varied, so you can create these  dishes at any time. Happy holidays.

When you cook these beans, you need to hold back and allow them to cook longer than you normally would. The secret to these delicious beans is that they are tender and juicy.

These pancakes are heavier than we are used to over here, and they can be eaten savoury or sweet.

The season of sport has begun for us and that means rugby, football, netball ...!

Just look around at this time of the year and you will see elderberries everywhere. When you see clusters of deep, dark purple-looking berries weighing heavily on branches they are ready to be picked.

This recipe is adapted from Marian Burros. This torte recipe is famous the world over. Plums are in season and they always make the most delicious cakes/tortes.
