A new food stall in the food hall of St Nick’s market always creates something of a stir amongst the BS1 community. Which meant a sandwich board advertising Matina’s middle eastern fare with home made kurdish naan breads immediately caught my attention. Right at the end of the glass arcade, Matina could be easily missed [...]

I stumbled across this recipe whilst having an “I don’t know what cook tonight” panic in the middle of Sainsbury’s. A real gem of a recipe, I can’t wait to cook it again. We ate it with potato rosti however for a lighter dish you could just have more salad and miss the potatoes altogether. [...]

I had the girls coming round for a quick dinner before we went out for some wine, and this recipe, in Leon’s first recipe book was perfect. The girls all love sweet potato, and tend to live on a diet of sweet potato combined with lots of roasted vegetables (they also go to the gym [...]

A family run business which has just gone full time after successfully running a falafel stand in Quakers Friars on Saturdays. If like me you are a lover of falafel [...]

The salad tray of my fridge contained beetroot and asparagus, we had bought some awesome goats cheese from Ashton Court Farmer’s Market, I needed some more protien so added lentils – oh and my friend once cooked me something similar! The result is a delicious, seasonal salad that can be a great summer dinner, and [...]

This salad (originally from BBC GoodFood, but adapted slightly) is a bit of a staple in my house now, as it’s substantial enough to have for tea with some crusty bread, but the leftovers are also ideal for lunch. Add to this the fact that it’s super quick and easy, as well as dirt cheap and [...]

Swedish food isn’t necessarily one of those cuisines that springs to mind when people think of world food, but trust me, it ain’t all hot dogs and meatballs á la Ikea (although an Ikea hot dog is one of my guilty pleasures, and their meatballs are a freezer standby for me!) This light potato salad [...]
