Inspired by one of my favourite recipes from "Jerusalem: A Cookbook" by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi, the mix of flavours in this dish is absolutely wonderful. Orange, fennel, thyme, mustard seeds and a generous dose of ouzo (an anise-flavoured aperitif) makes a perfect accompaniment to chicken, fish or even chickpeas.

How to Feed Vegetarian and Gluten-Free Friends: Roasted Squash Gratin
Feeding people with dietary constraints is both rewarding and challenging. It can be tough to find recipes that suit restricted diets but are still delightful enough for a weekend dinner with friends. But when the recipe turns out and the guests are raving, that is the rewarding part.

Lentil Tacos with Pickled Cabbage, Tahini Cream and Microgreens

And the cleaning up doesn’t bother me at all (granted, I don’t do it alone which makes a huge difference!). The sense of accomplishment and enjoyment from feeding others definitely outweigh ...

Potato Leek Soup with Bacon Croutons
Bacon is an ingredient that immediately suggests richness and indulgence. While I totally understand the appeal, I never crave it. I'm just not a bacon kind of girl (watch out chocolate cake, I'm heart-eyeing you!). Oddly enough, I've recently felt the pangs of wanting the smoky crispness of well-cooked bacon. So of course, I had to act!

16 Holiday Cookies You Haven’t Tried Yet
The holiday season wouldn’t be the same without cookies. This applies to whatever holiday you celebrate! I always try to make the classics- shortbread, gingerbread, biscotti, rolled cookies and many others- but somehow, I always seem to make them all at once. Is it just me, or does everybody try to make 6 dozen cookies in one evening? I ...
