Beautifully Special Little Puff Pastry Tarts

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.

Saffron-Infused Risotto With Crispy Tempeh Chips

White bowl with bright and colour risotto with tomatoes and herbs, a lemon wedge, some chunks of purple aubergine and thick chunky tempeh chips

Golden with saffron and rich in quiet depth, this risotto is creamy, comforting, and softly fragrant. On top: crisp, savoury shards of tempeh – like chips, but better behaved. It’s a dish that feels both elegant and grounding, full of texture and intention. A gentle showstopper for days when you need warmth with flair.
