In 2016 I had to be rushed to hospital with incredible stomach cramps. See, I’m tattoed all over and don’t have a massive problem with pain, my pain tolerance is very high and this whole situation was quite frightening for me – and even more for my boyfriend at the time, who had never seenContinue reading “wild garlic pesto”

The Blood Orange Panna Cotta is one of my quick recipes from my instagram @janajarrettnutrition and I have developed it, because I love the tea temples from a brand called “tea pigs” so much. Tea Pigs is originally a small start up, wanting to sell “real, quality tea, sourced sustainably, in packaging that’s better forContinue reading “blood orange panna cotta”

2 lemons, zest and juice 1 tablespoon baking powder 75g polenta 50g of yoghurt 1 egg 50g of butter, melted 150 g sugar (75g for the drizzle) 2 bags of Earl Grey 100g ground almonds When I was in bread making mode on the weekend, I ordered loaf tins, because we didn’t have any forContinue reading “lemon & earl grey cakes”

The following dialogue happened with the moving guys who moved my stuff over to the UK. “Please be careful with this box, it’s full of knives!” “…?”  “Yeah, so many knives!” “…”  “It’s quite heavy, because of the knives, I’m sorry!!”  Nervous laughter. “Oh, I’m not a serial killer, I’m a chef!” I love knives.Continue reading “knives … and other useful things”

Soooooo… … I personally think I’m going to be furloughed for quite some time, so I am going to try and post daily recipes on this lovely blog and also tell you a bit more about me, my cooking and my favourite recipes and people. The rice balls are something I made up because springContinue reading “rice balls with a punch”

It is day 368 of the lockdown. Toilet paper and pasta are the new shares. Who needs mortgages if you have cheese, right?! I’ve been quiet lately. Reasons? I changed jobs – working in the pastry department of a large organic retailer was limiting my skill set too much and I got bored. December, JanuaryContinue reading “mac and cheese”

Hey friends, as you all know, I’m currently working for an organic retailer and develop the recipes for the pastry department. In the beginning of this year we published a turmeric “latte” muffin, containing all ingredients that you would find in the golden milk. This recipe is for Sofia, who was super disappointed that theContinue reading “turmeric latte cupcakes”

Hey guys, I’ve told you before, my husband is following the keto diet. Keto is mainly about healthy fats and proteins and you try to eat as little carbs as possible. Long term this diet is forcing the body to burn fat for fuel rather than carbohydrates. So I created a recipe for my husbandContinue reading “keto walnut rolls”

I’m a perfectionist and always choose about two tasks too many for myself. The last two weeks I spent with a job search studying and being ill. I caught the slightly girlier version of the man flu and still had to go to work, since the company I’m working for has slightly weird rules onContinue reading “warming carrot soup”

Imagine the following scenario: It’s Sunday, you’re rather hungover, you need to keep down this orange juice and you are desperately longing for some fast food. What’s better (I’m gonna give you the answer straight away: nothing!) than a dirty sausage roll for a quid… But you know the meat at these places is somethingContinue reading “plant based “sausage rolls””

On my instagram I asked what you guys would like to see next and a lot of people wanted a chilli sauce. My whole family loves hot food, especially my mum and me, although even my baby sister has been witnessed demolishing a good portion of wasabi that would have brought a grown man toContinue reading “chilli sauce (hot)”

Okay, confession time: I’m addicted to cold brew. I know, so 2016, it’s just “cold coffee” but.. NO! Did you just nod in agreement?! Come on, I saw it, no I felt it in my dark little heart! COLD BREW IS NOT JUST COLD COFFEE. Starbucks wants you to think that – in fact theyContinue reading “cold brew coffee”

Since the lockdown the days seem to be going by a bit blurry. I am normally a chef at a private boarding school, therefore I can’t work right now. On the one hand, that’s fantastic, since I can do all the things I said I couldn’t do before, because I lacked the time. I amContinue reading “shakshuksha”
