Gochujang Silken Tofu
August 27, 2024
I regularly make some sort of silken tofu and sauce when I want a meal ready in 10 minutes. The gochujang works particularly well with the nuttiness of the tahini and I love topping it with some sliced spring onion and sesame seeds.

Trini Pepper Tofu
January 4, 2024
This dish is usually made with prawns but I’ve kept it vegan and used tofu instead. Trinidad has a lot of Chinese influenced recipes and this one is slightly reminiscent of a sweet and sour sauce but with green seasoning and scotch bonnet.

Green seasoning is an essential part of Caribbean cooking. It’s a blend of different herbs and aromatics, and it’s used as the base for many different dishes.

Tomato, coconut and chickpeas are a trilogy that were made for each other. I often use canned tomatoes in curries, but in summer I love to make fresh tomato curries.
Tomato Salad
June 15, 2023
This is one of those special dishes where the finished product is far superior to the sum of its parts. I’m not even sure if this can be called a recipe, but it definitely is the perfect thing to make in summer, when you’ve got access to great tomatoes and you don’t want to turn the oven on.
