Notes on a Stress Free Christmas Dinner.
Somewhere between the first supermarket advert and the tinsel aisle, Christmas lunch starts to feel like an exam. This is my little love letter to a stress free Christmas dinner: a gentler, more human way to feed the people you love, with smoked salmon tart, celeriac soup, pork and stuffing roast bombs and pigs in blankets that don’t cost you your sanity.
Pecan and Coffee Cake with Marshmallow Mocha Glaze
There’s something irresistibly soothing about this pecan and coffee cake, the way it fills the kitchen with its toasty, aromatic warmth. I make it on the days that call for comfort in cake form, when a tender crumb and a glossy mocha glaze feel like exactly the right kind of indulgence.
Sticky Sichuan Chilli Prawns with Teriyaki Noodles & Pak Choi

Jerusalem Artichoke Soup. A Real Winter Warmer.
Jerusalem artichoke soup is one of those quiet kitchen miracles, where a knobbly, slightly shy vegetable turns into a bowl of pale, velvety comfort. Gentle, nutty and soothingly rich with cream, it feels as right for a midweek supper on the sofa as it does for a candlelit first course.
All Berry Wreath Pavlova

Jalapeño Cornbread. A Deep Southern Comfort.
Soft, buttery Jalapeno Cornbread with a gentle kick of heat from fresh or pickled jalapeños. Brilliant with chilli, soups, or as a brunch base with a poached egg on top.
