Pesto without nuts – Easy Recipe for Pistou: Why am I making pesto? Well, it’s that time of year. I have a full maternity ward of greenish tomatoes which appear to be heading for delivery at the same time. I have a marrow plant which, like some seedy London nightclub on a Friday night, has […]
Melba Toasts
Melba Toast – how to make it: There are certain things which I firmly believe should be passed down through the generations. The making of Melba Toasts is one of those things – tiny sophisticated triangles of biscuity bread which pair perfectly with pates and dips and which look so much better than a bowl […]
Easy Artisan Bread – The Perfect Home Baked Bread for Every Household
Easy, no-knead artisan bread: While I can make a mean banana muffin I am no baker – and although I love the idea of baking my own bread, the reality of doing that just for myself has always been a step too far. Even when I’ve been given a breadmaker to try, my issue has […]

Heck Veggie Bites and a Low Calorie Serving Suggestion
Heck Veggie Bites for Meatless MondaySunday: As regular readers of London-Unattached will know, I am a committed carnivore.

Easy Healthy Eating – 5:2 Lifestyle Diet – Carrot and Celeriac Soup
Low-Calorie Carrot and Celeriac Soup with Coriander: I’ve been something of an irregular follower of the 5:2 diet over the last year. The result is that my weight has gradually crept up and I now feel a need to lose a few kilos again. Around 8kg would be perfect. For 2017, I’ve decided on a […]
