Dessert for lazy folk like me!

I made this when it was super hot and I just couldn't be bothered to do much, who could with 40 degrees heat, and soaking in a puddle of my own sweat. The last thing I wanted to do was bake.

Yet I had a yearning, craving for something ultra sweet, tooth rottingly sweet.

I think it was the heat

It sapped all my energy and the only way I was going to get up and do anything was to consume sugar. A lot of sugar.

The @nytcooking app came to my rescue, and @ericjooho was my saviour with his recipe for cookies-and-cream pavlova.

Mine's a total riff (I'm sorry Eric, I couldn't do the whole two and a half hours of cooking time) so I cheated. There I confessed.

Shopped bought pavlova nests
Double cream which I whipped myself
And a packet of oreos

Spoon the cream into the meringue nests, break and crumble the oreo cookies and squish them into the cream.

Serve, eat and enjoy.

Do check out Eric's far superior recipe in the @newyorktimes

Imagine getting up on a Sunday and there’s a del

Imagine getting up on a Sunday and there’s a delivery at your door (and, it's not Amazon!).

A brown paper bag, that’s been delivered by cargo bike, bursting with goodies.

That’s what happened to me last weekend.

The wonderful people at @butter_and_crust dropped off a fabulous package.

It was one of their breakfast bundles packed into a brown paper bag.

The package was full of breakfast delights.

A huge artisan sourdough loaf, three chubby bagels, some cute sweet treats which didn’t last long once the teens discovered them. A pot of jam, a stick of cultured creamy butter and a delicious bottle of Townsend apple juice.

What was great about this breakfast is that it was perfect for our family.

I’m the early riser, a croissant and a coffee was perfect for me.

Hubby fuelled up on bread, jam, and juice before his bike ride, then sank a post-bike ride cookie hunkered down behind the weekend papers.

And when he teens finally deigned to get up, well it was brunch, luckily there were bagels close to hand.

So thank you @butter_and_crust for this delicious treat. This truly made our Sunday.

If you fancy a super easy Sunday, you need a @butter_and_crust bundle dropped off at your door.

If you've hauled some potatoes out of the ground.

If you've hauled some potatoes out of the ground. Or you have some lurking in your kitchen. I have the recipe for you. You need Sri Lankan deviled potatoes.

These are hot and spicy with the crunch and tang of fresh spices and a smack of chilli to clear your head.

They are great to make with leftover boiled potatoes or any spare roasties you may have after your Sunday lunch.

Boiled potatoes (I prefer new potatoes with their skins on) fried up with garlic, ginger, onions and just a few spices.

The link to the recipe is in my bio.

Eat and enjoy!

It's been an age since I sent out a newsletter. And, finally, one got dispatched.

My newsletter took a break for me to focus on and doubled down on my food photography.

It's where my passion lies. Though it's not a singular passion.

I have a multi-passionate business, or as some business-gurus call it, multi-hyphenate

It's book club night.

Lots of bon vino is going to be drunk as we talk through our book club read: Bernadine Evaristo's Girl Woman Other.

If you haven't read this book you MUST

It's a masterclass in writing

With powerful storytelling

Portraying the lives of women of colour - who are rarely the main characters in novels

Incredible characterisation

Simply a beautiful book

Maple syrup. Tahini. Soya sauce. Lime juice. Garli

Maple syrup. Tahini. Soya sauce. Lime juice. Garlic. Ginger. Chilli. Tomatoes. Oranges.

Not my usual combination of flavours.

It's a combination of flavours I wouldn't have ever put together. And when they do collide, the flavours that somersault around your mouth.

I can't take the credit for this, these flavours belong to the genius chef, @ixta.belfrage. That's no surprise given she worked on the @ottolenghi cookbook, Flavour.

She created this divine salad for the @supa_ya_ramen pop-up which now has a permanent home in Hackney.

If you want to make this salad, the recipe is in @guardian

And this was a great excuse to make, style and shoot this salad on @cblbackdrops
