Baked Kumara with Crunchy Chickpeas and Parsley Pesto
Recipes and Images Amber Bremner Baked low and slow, crunchy chickpeas are one of my go-to components for fast one-bowl meals, salad toppers, snacks or packed lunches. It’s a great idea to double the batch to use across a few meals – once cool they store well in a jar for a week or so […]
Honey gochujang rib-eye of beef
Words and Image by Kathy Paterson Honey is one of the most diverse foods we have and honeys boundlessness of flavours, colours and textures really fascinates me. Flavour characteristics are formed by rainfall, wind, soils and flora and the simpliest way to get to know which honey you will enjoy is to taste at farmers’ […]
Jackfruit and Lentil Kedgeree
Recipe and Images Amber Bremner Popular in many parts of Asia, unripe jackfruit has a fibrous texture that lends itself well to curry and even plant-based twists on ‘pulled pork’. Here I’ve used unripe, canned jackfruit, marinated and baked to create tender, moist, slightly oily chunks of jackfruit with a sharp, salty and pleasingly smoky […]

You can also make the curry paste well in advance, as it stores in the fridge for up to 4 days, or double […]
Pumpkin + Kimchi Fried Rice
Recipes and Images by Emma Galloway I’ve used butternut pumpkin here, but any flavoursome pumpkin will do. Do your best to dice it as finely as you can to ensure quick cooking. If vegetarian or vegan, ensure your kimchi is free of fish-sauce. For added protein, serve topped with a fried egg or tofu. This […]

Kosher Salt and Szechuan Pepper Squid with Daikon Salad and Ponzu Dressing
