Garlic, Coriander & Clam Pasta

Nearly 450g of fresh clams, garlic, butter, coriander and pasta. Dinner in under 30 minutes. The clams create their own broth, the garlic perfumes the butter, and the pasta absorbs all of it.

Lamb Kefta Wraps

Lamb kefta, harissa tahini, sumac onions, blistered tomatoes and homemade lavash — all on one tray. Messy. Delicious. Exactly as much effort as it should be.

Green Keema Biryani

If you've already made the Rice Cooker Green Keema, you're most of the way here. Caramelised onions, saffron water, partially cooked basmati, and patience. Don't peek.

Rice Cooker Green Keema

Lamb mince, herbs, spices, and a rice cooker. Walk away. Come back to deeply flavoured green keema that tastes like you spent far more effort on it than you actually did.

Blue Potato Paratha for One

Two generously stuffed parathas with an onion-ginger-coriander dough, blue potato filling, and a toasted spice crust. Small batch, big flavour. Don't forget the salt.

Things in Jars

Things in Jars

Chutneys, sambals, dips, and condiments. The things you make once and then reach for constantly. Most of them improve significantly after a day in the fridge.

Indian Borage Chutney
Things in Jars

Indian Borage Chutney

Herbal, slightly peppery coconut chutney made from Indian borage leaves. Born from a sore throat and an Ayurvedic Instagram reel. On toast with labneh.

Padma Lakshmi's Kumquat Chutney
Things in Jars

Padma Lakshmi's Kumquat Chutney

Spicy, jammy, citrusy — the Lunar New Year version of marmalade if marmalade developed a personality disorder and became obsessed with chilli.

Bowls of Comfort

Bowls of Comfort

Soups, broths, and anything that gets better the longer it sits on the stove. For cold evenings, rough weeks, or when you just need to be fed properly.

Wood Apple Pepper Soup
Bowls of Comfort

Wood Apple Pepper Soup

Somewhere between ou tenga and rasam. Tangy, peppery, garlicky, warming, medicinal without tasting like medicine. Made with a fruit that smells faintly like puke when cut open and then transforms completely.

Coriander-Lime Pepper Shorba
Bowls of Comfort

Coriander-Lime Pepper Shorba

A smooth green peppery coriander broth you drink from a mug. Born from too much coriander in the fridge and a GrabFood order that arrived wrong.

Starters & Small Things

Starters & Small Things

The bits before the meal, or sometimes the meal itself. Snacks, bites, and small plates that tend to disappear faster than expected.

Roasted Chicory, Shine Muscat & Goat Cheese Salad
Starters & Small Things

Roasted Chicory, Shine Muscat & Goat Cheese Salad

Roasted chicory with sweet grapes, crispy chickpeas, peppery radishes, goat cheese, and a balsamic-Dijon vinaigrette. Bought two heads of chicory on a whim. No regrets.

Harissa, Tomato & Cheese Crostini
Starters & Small Things

Harissa, Tomato & Cheese Crostini

Harissa, cheese, tomatoes, sourdough. Four ingredients that do all the heavy lifting. Barely a recipe, but one you'll find yourself making constantly.

Something Sweet

Not a dedicated baker. But occasionally the mood strikes and something turns out better than expected. These are those recipes.

The Not-Sweet Apple–Pecan Galette
Something Sweet

The Not-Sweet Apple–Pecan Galette

Made for a friend who stopped eating sugar. No added sweetener of any kind. Sweetness comes from tart apples, toasted pecans, and the aromatic illusion of cinnamon and vanilla.

Fleur de Pomme (Apple Roses)
Something Sweet

Fleur de Pomme (Apple Roses)

They look impossibly French and complicated. They're not. Thin apple slices, puff pastry, mascarpone, patience. People always think you worked much harder than you actually did.
