Today is an experimental recipe fresh from my test kitchen, bringing you a new, no refined sugar recipe, this time tackling the mighty meringue, creating no added sugar meringues that use only date syrup as a sweetening agent, resulting in light, crunchy, honeycomb like meringues that are incredibly sweet and tasty, yet low in calories and feature no refined sugar. They make addictive sweet treats served alone or could be filled with a thick sauce …
Sausage rolls. This recipe presented me with a very complex, difficult and hard to resolve problem. It demonstrated the depths of philosophical wrangling that I have to endure, just to bring to you what seems, on the surface, a simple recipe. Take this particular little gem.

A mere peasant such as myself could be put to death for laying his hands on black rice, a very dark …
An Inspired Decision. Today is another post that’s been inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi, this time in collaboration with the head chef of his restaurant NOPI, Ramael Scully. The inspiration for this roast celeriac soup recipe came off the back of being gifted the NOPI cookbook, which is an utterly fabulous compendium of gastronomic delights garnered from the hallowed kitchens of NOPI, that mirage of a restaurant nestled just North Of PIccadilly. In the book, they …
