Recipe: Hazelnut Dukkah

Dukkah is one of those things that I forget how versatile it is until I have some in my kitchen again, and that’s definitely been the case since I whipped up this hazelnut dukkah! I’ve been using it on pretty much everything – salads, eggs at breakfast, dips or just as is with some bread and oil. It’s so simple to whip up but adds an amazing burst of flavour, I really should remember to make it more often!

Recipe: Sweet Potato & Chickpea Stew

After making lots of soups and curries I wanted to make a different kind of hearty meal for the cold, wintery nights we’re finally having so a stew it is! I’ve always loved sweet potato (almost as much as normal potato!) and you can’t keep me away from chickpeas so this was definitely right up my alley. The combination of lots of veggies and spices made for a delicious, warming meal which also made lots of leftovers to stock my freezer for the weeks ahead.

Recipe: Spiced Brown Sugar Syrup

After playing around with different sugar syrups when making homemade lemonade a little while back, I decided I would play with some more grown-up varieties to use in cocktails (or mocktails!) over the Christmas holiday period. The first one I played with was this spiced brown sugar syrup – the mix of spices just tastes like Christmas to me! It’s super easy to make and will keep in the fridge for a few weeks, so you can always have some ready to go just in case!
