Meet the producers, sample the food… or just check out the photos from a recent Urban Food Fortnight event at the Old Street Food Assembly.
Sustainable eating and scrambled eggs
This is the post where I get you in with a photo of scrambled eggs and avocado, but ask you to stay to read about sustainability.
Oven-baked jerk chicken
Bake up some spicy jerk seasoned chicken for a little bit of Caribbean flair at home.
Coconut rice and beans (vegan)
Rich, tropical and vegan – coconut rice and black beans are great on their own or as a side for other great Caribbean food.
The calm before the storm cocktail … inspired by the Dark and Stormy
Ginger beer + rum = a great way to celebrate Caribbean Food Week, or even just the summer!
Chilli Orange Baked Chicken (gluten free)
Maybe, like me, you didn’t think oranges had any place whatsoever in your dinner. And maybe, like me, you’re wrong.
Spicy Soy Salmon with Sweet Potato Noodles (gluten free)
Get your fork into this stir-fry for a quick weeknight meal, and impress yourself by crisping the skin. Plus, the whole thing is gluten-free!
Greek-style Steak Pita Pockets
Fill a pita with steak and salad and enjoy a quick, satisfying meal that looks like it came from a fancy sandwich shop.
Sgroppino, a Venetian slushie for grown ups
Sgroppino is a lot easier to make than it is to say. But what is it? A summertime treat that goes down well on a hot summer day.
Steamed asparagus with lemony chicken and mushrooms
Welcome to asparagus season! Steamed asparagus goes fantastically with a buttery lemon chicken and mushrooms.
Cheesing hard at the Melton Mowbray Cheese Fair
Melton Mowbray describes itself as the rural capital of food, and in my estimation, they have a really strong horse in the race. Its Artisan Cheese Fair is a fun and tasty opportunity to spend a day getting to know this small town.
Crushed fava beans, garlic and lemon crostini
Broad beans, when prepared the right way, are loaded with flavor and freshness and are so quick and easy to prepare.
Monkfish and Chorizo Stew
Monkfish and chorizo make for a savory match in this stew, chock full of vegetables and umami.
Pork and Fennel Meatballs (with a gluten free option)
Pork and fennel meatballs, inspired by one of my favorite restaurants in London, Polpo. Try them with spaghetti & tomato sauce, make them Swedish-style or drop them in Italian wedding soup!
Cauliflower couscous (or cauliflower rice)
Cauliflower couscous is a super-fast, super-healthy alternative to regular couscous. It’s great whether you have to avoid gluten, cut calories or just have some cauliflower hanging around.
