We love feta and spinach pancakes. In fact, we love all pancakes. Part of the appeal is that we can make them just how we like – with whatever toppings we’re in the mood for. Sometimes, just sometimes, we decide we don’t want to be naughty and smother our pancakes …

The Ultimate Microwave Baked Potato Guide Every now and then we get really immersed in a recipe. And so I have been eating at least one microwave baked potato almost every day for MONTHS. In all shapes and sizes, flavours and toppings. Almost non-stop actually. Microwave potatoes are now my …

These no egg pancakes appeared in a very roundabout away. We love pancakes, and always have (in fact, these bad boys helped launch the site). Recently, we’ve been asked more and more for ‘no egg’ pancakes. Not necessarily vegan like these, but just ‘no egg’ pancakes. Why ‘no egg’ pancakes? …

Cucumber Sandwiches – the Dos and Don’ts This cucumber sandwich with cream cheese recipe started out as a bit of fun, but we soon realised that cucumber sandwiches are a pretty serious recipe. Well, in relative terms anyway. I’ve eaten a lot of sandwiches in my life – as I …

Every now and then I’m allowed to write a new post (and therefore new recipe) about curry. Kat and Hauke keep it under tight control as otherwise every second recipe on the site would be curry. Who am I kidding? It would be every recipe. I love curry and this …

Pear soup with blue cheese is undoubtedly a niche recipe. If you don’t like blue cheese, then you probably won’t enjoy this recipe. If you do like blue cheese then there’s a good chance this pear soup will blow you away. Pear and blue cheese has long been known as …

Potato farls (as they’re usually known in Northern Ireland) have long been used in the traditional Ulster fry …

There comes a day in everyone’s life when they know they’re changing as a person. It could be after a revolutionary life event. It could be a ‘eureka’ moment, where they just get it. In my particular case it was the day I took tomato butter to a party. Yep. …

I absolutely love mashed veg when it’s done right. And that’s the key thing here – when it’s done right. If you don’t like mashed veg, whether it’s garlic mashed cauliflower or something completely different, there’s a very good chance you haven’t had the good stuff before. Amazingly, mashed cauliflower …

Yess!! It’s that time of year. I get to write about Christmas and pancakes – two of my favourite things. Don’t worry if you’re reading this and it’s not Christmas, gingerbread pancakes rock at any time of the year. You’ll just have to ignore reindeer references, jolly Christmas puns and …

Everybody has an opinion about pancakes, this Dutch apple pancake included. Some want them flat and thin like a crêpe, some want them big and fluffy like a cake. Some sweet, some savoury. There’s almost no pleasing everyone. That’s why we enlisted Jansen, friend and chef extraordinaire. He’s also Dutch, …

Woohoo! December is here. Which means Howie and Kat officially (we made a deal) have to let me post as many Christmas recipes as I want! So here we are. Although I’m usually a savoury man, a little sweetness and light never hurt anyone – that’s why I’m starting with …

Everybody loves sequels and these Cream Cheese Cookies are indeed a spiritual sequel. Remember our surprise hit, the Banana Oat Cookies? We had a load of positive feedback, mostly because they were so easy to make and perfect for an on-the-road snack. Sequels tend to go one of two ways. …
