Introducing solids and a few of Wilkie's favourite meals
When Easton was a baby and it came time to introduce solids, I took it all quite seriously and truthfully found it a bit stressful. I had been told I had to wait until six months to start, so we waited until the day he turned six months old. I had also read somewhere that ...

Ottolenghi's new 'Simple' cookbook

Harissa and Chickpea Tagine -- a fantastic plant-based family dinner
This vegetable tagine makes the most fantastic, flavoursome midweek family meal, especially if, like many people, you are aiming to eat a little more plant-based or meat-free. It takes 5 minutes to put together and then sits in the oven for a little under an hour cooking into this deliciousness! I personally have a big soft ...

Tomato Paste -- spread it onto bread and call it dinner!
This recipe actually comes from one of the most remote parts of the world! My lovely friend Nadine is from St Helena, an island in the middle of the Atlantic that hardly anyone has ever heard about. We stayed with her over the holidays (not in St Helena as it takes days to get there, ...

Homemade Boston Beans
I absolutely adore this recipe and even more so at this time of year when it reminds me of dark autumn evenings and bonfire nights from my childhood when we ate this hurriedly before heading out to see fireworks! You could make the beans by themselves and serve simply on toast but I love them ...
