If you’re used to your cookies being soft and chewy, then it may be time to try a new style, baked in the UK branch of the Byron Bay Cookie Company!
Beyond The Bean were kind enough to send us an assorted box to review, and we were surprised at how different these cookies are – on the whole they’re large, crumbly, and packed with big chunks of fruit, nut or chocolate, depending on which variety you go for.
I made up this recipe out of the blue and it turned out amazingly nice! The texture is not too sweet and not to plane and just perfect for keeping you cool on a hot afternoon.
Our British summer may be coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty more chances to break out the BBQ (just take an umbrella)! If you want to do it in style, then this 19 piece BBQ set from Viners will fit the bill nicely.
This recipe for Chocolate Tiffin is from my neighbour Claire who lives across the street from me. After my girlfriend brought home some of her tiffin, I had to get the recipe to share with everyone. Here it is!
A few weeks ago we reviewed the Zoku Quick Pop and launched a fun competition, where one lucky person would win their very own Zoku! The task was to submit a cooling recipe, and we received many great ones. There can only be one winner though, and we thought the fairest way to pick one was out of a hat (although we used a ceramic hen)!
I hope you all like my dad’s cool fruit cocktail, with a creamy twist! He makes this in the summer time, usually when we have a BBQ or eat al fresco. It can be modified to suit different tastes but I recommend this recipe! It has evolved over the years to become our favourite refreshing drink.
These little chicken kebabs are served all over Andalucia. Commonly served as tapas, they are on a skewer, but often as a meal with patata fritas (chips to us). However, I like them at home with saffron rice, which is healthier too!
So simple to make at home. All you need is Pinchitos spice mix. Available in markets all over Spain, but for those of you not lucky enough to live here, it is available online too.

This is the very first curry I dared to make from scratch and thankfully it turned out very well! The flavours are quite rich and not too spicy, so you could add more chilli powder to suit your taste.
I noticed that my toddler loved to munch on ice cubes and frozen peas straight from the freezer, so came up with this cunning idea to get her to eat more fruit! This is so simple, I’m not sure it can be described as a recipe. Use whatever fruit is in season for a healthy kids snack, or a fresh dessert on a hot day.

A few weeks ago Chris Pople of Cheese and Biscuits invited me to be his +1 for dinner at the latest addition to the “Mexican” offering in London, Cantina Laredo.
He’d been invited to review it upon opening and felt it appropriate to bring me along since I’m Latin American.
Now, Latin food in this city so far hasn’t been anything great for me: I have either encountered restaurants serving nicely cooked but unauthentic fare or restaurants just serving plain bad food. I don’t mind the former so much and just ignore the latter.
However, Cantina Laredo doesn’t fit in either category – In fact, Cantina Laredo stands in an extraordinary world of its own.
