I have just rediscovered this recipe. If you have a glut of marrows or courgettes give it a go, it is fantastic.

You may have gathered from the previous couple of posts that I have quite a lot of courgette and marrow to get through! I rather like having a glut of a fruit or vegetable because it tends to lead …

Made this beauty again today. Still a firm favourite ❤

This is a truly wonderful waste-not recipe. I don’t make it very frequently because it uses the crumbs from a failed cake – which doesn’t happen to me very often! However, this we…

Some fantastic tips here from the brilliant Zero Waste Chef.

Mumm, Tereza's cherry cake!

We had a delicious lunch today, based on a recipe which someone submitted to the Guardian recently.
The recipe didn't actually have any measurements so this was our best guess and it came out well.

- 1.5 cups gram flour
- 1 cup of water approx
- roughly 1 teaspoon garam masala, turmeric, and ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- sprinkle ground chilli (best to start with a little, try the first pancake you make and then add more if you like)
- half an onion, grated or thinly sliced
- a good handful of spinach chopped up with scissors

We ate ours dipped in Greek yogurt and homemade mango chutney. I expect it would also be nice dipped into curry.
