Flourless Mocha Cake
When I go for coffee-flavoured cakes, I like it REALLY tasting like coffee. But most out there don’t really hit the spot for me. So I finally got down to working out a recipe that ticked all the boxes for me.
Kale Pesto
Pesto: greens + nuts + cheese + nuts + acid + oil. I rarely make pesto the traditional way using basil and pine nuts, because I don’t have them casually lying around, and I like to make things with what I have at home – so today its kale and walnuts!
Chickpea Stew
In a time like this, we are going for dishes that can be made with ingredients that are affordable and easy to stock up on. I’ve mostly gone for canned products here (chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, etc), so you can keep these in your kitchen cupboard on standby for whenever the cravings kick in.
Fruit Galette
A pastry that requires some time, but gives high returns! This is a pastry dough that requires a little more time and finesse than most, but I promise you it’s so good that you’d keep returning to it. It’s probably the best pastry I’ve ever made and it is worth every second of effort.
Mushroom Meatballs
Mushroom (Meat)balls? Mushroom meatless balls? Mushroom balls? Whatever it is, these are absolutely plant-based, and are just as good as the OG meatballs! Eat them as they are with some marinara sauce, smashed in a cheesy sandwich, or make them ahead to keep in your freezer!
Mushroom Quiche
The pastry needs only 4 ingredients* and a tupperware box. No need for rolling pins or mixing bowls! This is my go-to when someone decides to come over for dinner unplanned. The pastry literally takes you LESS THAN 5 MINS to put together using just a few pantry staples!
Pumpkin & Feta Puffs
Inspired by….our beloved curry puff of course! If you’re a pastry lover like me, this recipe for the crust is perfect and incredibly easy. It’s light in texture, yet sturdy enough to hold your favourite fillings. This time I’m using pumpkin and feta, but feel free to play around with what you have at home!
Fluffy Banana-Coconut Pancakes
An easy breakfast pancake to put together, especially if you’ve run out of milk, or are intolerant to it! If you’re like me and don’t really fancy the strong taste of coconut milk in sweet foods, this is for you!
Chili Con Carne
Your next movie night snack, sorted! Try out this recipe for chilli con carne that’s heartier and tastier than your average bucket of popcorn.
Flaky Tuna Pizza
A quick & easy pizza to put together in 30 minutes with whatever ingredients you have lying around at home!
Banana & Fig Cake
This is one of my all-time favourite cakes to bake. It’s incredibly simple, all you need are 8 ingredients, and the clean up is easy because all you need is a food processor – no additional bowls etc!
Deconstructed Fish Pie
EASY. QUICK. MINIMAL CLEANING UP. Whip this up when you need a quick recipe that will impress. It’s a one-pot meal that has all you need – protein, fibre, carbs, healthy fats, love.
Spinach & Feta Parcels (Spanakopita)

Here’s a fuss-free, no brainer dessert that is guaranteed to be a hit… and a great way to rescue overripe fruits.
Stuffed Eggplant (Papoutsakia)
In Greek, Papoutsakia translates to ‘little shoes’, because of they way they look! This recipe is incredibly simple to make – one pot and an oven is all you need; and you can whip up a whole batch of these at one go without much time taken from your day!
Otak-Otak Soufflé
To commemorate National Day, I’ve created a recipe to reflect my mixed heritage! Otak Otak is a regional dish widely known across South-East Asia and is usually time-consuming to make. In this soufflé version, I share my quick kitchen hacks and tips for ingredient substitutes to make it achievable in just under an hour!
