I promise you there will be no weight gain with this delight. Got your attention? Good. If only.

Taramosalata
My brother, Tony has a love affair with taramasalata. He’s escaped to Thailand at the moment. He’s not a big fan of the chilli so I know he is struggling to chow down chilli Pad Thai every day. I bet he’s missing his taramosalata. No tarama in Thailand, though. Lots of Nam Pla (fermented fish [...]

Melomakarona Macaroons
I love Melomakarona, the traditional Christmas honey dipped biscuit, and I have been known to frequently, and severely, overdose on macaroons, too. So it only makes sense to festively fuse my two addictions together. Walnuts sprinkled on the macaroon shell and buttercream infused with cinnamon, cloves and honey, this is my Christmas fix. Ingredients 100g [...]
