Incredible No-Knead Bread

"A lot of people don't eat gluten because somebody in their yoga class told them not to" - Jimmy Kimmel You should make this bread. You really should. Really. That is, of course, if you haven't done so already. Because you probably have. Because, unlike me, you probably don't live in a cave and you found out about this amazing no-work bread technique around 150 years ago. Or at least at some point since 2006 ...

Salmon Tartare & Rye Crackers

"In 1998 a poll revealed that 54.4% of Icelanders said they believed in elves" - Michael Booth, The Nearly Almost Perfect People I had intended to introduce this recipe with something about the prevailing mania in the UK for all things Scandinavian, when I came across this statistic in Michael Booth's recent book about the supposed "Nordic miracle". And how could we possibly talk about Borgen, minimalist furniture, Angry Birds, cinnamon buns and Lordi when we ...

Fruit & Nut Soda Bread

"We've always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English" - Winston Churchill My foray into the world of Baking with Wholegrains continues to be, shall we say, challenging.

Chicken Satay Brown Rice Bowl

"Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish? I know it's tuna, but it says "Chicken of the Sea" - Jessica Simpson I really can't think of anything to say about these wise words from Jessica (what is there to say?) so let's get straight down to business today. Bowls of brown rice with something stuck on the top have become quite a regular feature in our house, principally ...

Sunday Night Bircher Muesli

"I still eat pizzas, I still like pies, I still have spaghetti hoops for breakfast... but it's in moderation now" - Shane Warne My weekday breakfast was pretty much exactly the same for the best part of 10 years. A Starbucks Venti skimmed cappuccino and a skinny peach and raspberry muffin. Sometimes I would go wild and stop at Pret and have a croissant or pain au raisin but, by and ...

Rye Banana Bread with Homemade Nutella

Jump straight to the recipe → "To be honest, I think bananas are a pathetic fruit" - Andy Murray (Hitting Back, 2008) Baking with whole grains is one part of this healthy eating thing that I have been studiously ignoring. White wheat flour makes the best cakes. FACT. The absence of gluten in most alternative flours more often than not results in cakes that are dense and heavy, or dry and overly ...
