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.
