Fragrant with lemongrass, warm with ginger, this Malaysian-inspired curry is gently spiced and deeply soothing. The sauce is silky, citrusy, and full of layered flavour – perfect for spooning over rice or scooping with flatbread. It’s a bowlful of brightness that brings comfort without heaviness – like sunshine on a slow day.
Softly spiced and rich with coconut, this curry is all about balance – creamy without being heavy, comforting with a little brightness. Pan-fried tofu adds golden edges and a gentle chew, soaking up the sauce just so. It’s the kind of dish that’s simple to make – but tastes like you cooked it for someone you care about, even if that someone is you.
Flaky, golden, and quietly impressive, these little puff pastry tarts are filled with a silky minted pea purée – fresh, green, and gently sweet. Crisp at the edges, soft in the middle, they’re simple to make but feel like something special. Serve warm or cool, with a little salad or just as they are.
These falafel take their lead from Ottolenghi – herb-heavy, warmly spiced, and full of texture. Air frying gives them that perfect crisp shell and tender centre. Served on flatbread with crisp salad, generous blobs of vegan mayo, and a scattering of rose petals for colour and quiet joy – it’s a plate worth pausing for.
