Tofu is not everyones cup of tea, but when prepared properly it bursts with flavour. When I don’t feel like having eggs, or I want a veggie filled scramble, tofu is the way I go.
Basil Pesto

L’étouffé Mackerel
L’étoufé sounds like a fancy dish, but in reality it just means smothered. In this case the fish is cooked on gentle heat with the lid on. It maybe one of the healthiest recipes i’ve made so far, but it’s still a delish one.
Basic Lentil dal
This is one of the staple dishes made in my household. There’s always this specific lentil dal wither fresh or in the freezer because it’s a perfect side dish. Whether it’s eaten alone with rice, or with some fish, chicken… It’s perfect. It’s also made of pantry staples only… so it really could not get any better.

Tomato soup is one of the most well known soups out there, with this recipe i use red split peas, as well as some spices to create something a little difference, but still reminiscent to the simple og tomato soup.
5 dishes keeping me sane during the Pandemic
During quarantine I’ve been exploring dishes more than ever. Making homemade pasta a lot more, adventuring into sourdough baking, savoury rolls, makis etc.. These 5 dishes are some of my favourites that have been keeping me sane.
Pearl Barley Risotto with Lemon, Peas & Dill
Who knew pearl barley made such delicious creamy risotto?!! This classic simple risotto is finished with lemon, peas, parmesan and dill for a fresh spring touch. If you’re not into peas, swap it out for other seasonal veg, not into dill swap it out for another type of soft herb. Incredibly versatile and honestly easy to make- maybe easier than making rice risotto.
Recipe-less Creamy Egg Scramble
Scrambled eggs are harder to master than you think. The technique I use gives super creamy scrambled eggs- restaurant quality in my opinion, but don’t worry, they are incredibly easy to make, and only require base 3 ingredients.
Banana Bread
This banana bread is incredibly delicious and versatile. It can be made gluten-free as well as vegan. Add Daim chunks or any chunks you want to bring it that extra lil somethin somethin.
Childhood Chicken Adobo
Chicken adobo is one of my favourite childhood dishes. The ingredients used to make it create a sort of balance in your mouth that not many dishes can emulate. Eat it with piping hot white rice, there’s nothing better.
Spicy Sour Tuna Curry
Sour curry may sound bizarre, but actually the acidic elements bring brightness and a freshness to the dish that you wouldn’t normally get with a curry. With tuna coming into season in May, I wanted to share with you this delicious and quick recipe.
Passion Fruit ‘Juice’
What better way to feel like you’re on holiday with this delish passion fruit ‘juice.’ Incredibly easy to make and doesn’t require many ingredients.
Recipe-less Delicious Browned Shrooms
Shrooms on toast sounds pretty self explanatory and boring, but they’re one of my staple breakfasts. The umami you unlock when browning mushrooms make them so delicious. Obviously to make this you don’t need any measurements, so I’m here to help you with the technique.
Sun-dried tomato Pesto
Any pesto made with basil is reserved for the warmer summer months. I get very excited every year whenever I start making my basil pesto because I know summer is well on it’s way. This sun-dried tomato pesto has been one of my summer staples for the past 3 years- so full of flavour, and perfect as a spread, in pasta or wherever else you want to use it..
