Posted on May 13, 2013 by SharmilaSub

Yoghurt and preserved lemon dressing

Posted on March 24, 2013 by SharmilaSub

I actually made this dressing before Christmas (heavens), but in the spiral into doom that was the not-having-a-kitchen-for-two-months, I completely failed to blog it.  Which would have been a shame as, whilst this is stupidly simple, it is also very, … Continue reading →

Sour and hot silken tofu

Posted on November 4, 2012 by SharmilaSub

My new favourite thing: tofu ‘bamboo’

Posted on October 15, 2012 by SharmilaSub

Sweetcorn masala

Posted on September 30, 2012 by SharmilaSub

Spaghetti al sugo crudo

Posted on August 27, 2012 by SharmilaSub

If I was a bit of a tit, I would call this “summer on a plate”.  As I’m not, this is just a really good plate of pasta. I’ve been making this raw tomato sauce on and off for years, … Continue reading →
