The good food page

Life is better when there is good food to be had — whether it’s a lazy brunch, a comforting weeknight dinner or a festive feast shared with friends and family. Great food doesn’t need to be fancy or take hours to prepare; sometimes, the best meals come together in minutes and leave you wanting more. I love experimenting with recipes from every corner of the globe, this is a curated collection of favourites. These dishes use simple, wallet-friendly ingredients - no special skills or equipment required, no hunting for the spring cheese of the golden fleeced goat of the upper Cantabrian mountains.

My philosophy: recipes are a guideline, not a legal document. Bend them to suit your own taste and ignore the purists, or let these ideas spark your own kitchen creations.

Loquat Chutney

Loquats have to be one of the most underrated fruits around, although their season is so short fruiting briefly in the springtime. While it's a short season, the trees produce a vast amount of fruit all at once. Here's a great way to put some of that excess fruit to good use.

Best Asian Chilli Sauce Recipe

Somewhere between a sauce and a paste, I love this recipe. I might even be addicted to it. It gets added to so many dishes I make and even gets used as pesto, steak sauce and sandwich spread.
