Baked blue mushrooms

Baked Blue Mushrooms

I invented this recipe about 20 years ago, one evening when not much else was in the house and I needed to make dinner, and it’s been a favourite ever since. Yes it’s simple, but some of the best recipes are. It’s vegetarian, but tastes gutsy enough to appease any hardened carnivores. If you enjoy…

Carrots with Pistachios and Cointreau

Carrots with Pistachios and Cointreau

I live on a Greek island (Aegina) that is well-known for pistachios. This is one of those dishes I make quickly that has some local flavour, but isn’t Greek. (You can get tired of Greek food!). It’s really easy to make and tastes great – a perfect thing to pull out for those last minute…

guacamole

Guacamole

In his 70s, my father went looking for paradise. He got behind the wheel of his beat-up Volkswagen van and drove straight south from Vancouver, Canada. Less than an hour after he left the Mexican bustle of Puerto Vallarta, his motor hiccoughed. He rolled to a stop in a fishing village at the mouth of…

Winter Jewel Fruit Salad

Winter Jewel Fruit Salad

I came up with this between Christmas and New Year, when I wanted something joyful, seasonal, free from everything (gluten, lactose, vegan), easy to make, and light, given the amount of other festive food around. It worked – friends’ toddlers liked picking out the pomegranate seeds, and the adults demolished the rest. An Iranian friend…

Mom’s tomato soup

Mom’s tomato soup (Доматената супичка на мама)

My mom invented this simple, but delicious soup. I think it happened during one of those moments where there wasn’t much to be cooked at home. However, she was expert in inventing tremendously tasty dishes out of nothing. So, this is a very simple, easy and cheap soup which I still love preparing, and it…

Spicy butternut squash soup

Spicy butternut squash soup

You can add whatever spices you fancy to this soup – it works nicely with ginger too. It’s also great with some soup pasta thrown in to make it more of a meal. Add a swirl of cream and some chopped parsley to make it look a little more special if serving at a dinner…

One World Chili

One World Chili

This chili recipe was born of a challenge to create a chili with as many ingredients as possible from all over the world. It has developed and evolved over more than 25 years, and is trimmed down to its essentials here. Without much effort, it can include readily available ingredients from every continent and is…
