After a year's worth of cupcakes ranging in colours, sizes, and layers, accompanied with every accessory (bar hair extensions) and classes led by every Brick Lane Cupcaker spilling out into the home, do we give a shit? Well, it appears yes, embarrassingly so.Cupcakes have made it big regardless of their ability to taste nice; dump a frilly doily under it and the female population will go gaga. They've even made it onto The Junior Apprentice, and replaced wedding cakes (although the b...

I have a lot of dreams about the house that I want to one day own. I spend a lot of my time fantasising about the interior design, the layout, and the location. One thing I really want is a beautiful and stylish cocktail bar, where I can put together equally beautiful and stylish cocktails for all my sophisticated and intelligent friends.

If I were to credit France for one thing, aside from contributing to the expansion of my waistline and deteriorating my English, it would be the blossoming of my culinary palette. I am guilty of having grown up eating frozen dinners, peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches daily for lunch and thinking of vegetables as something only vegetarian hippies ate. Yes, I was a gastronomical mess.

I actually really hate Makowiec, the traditional, Polish poppy seed swirl cake. I avoid it at all costs come Christmas or Easter time. Yeasty, bready cake plus barely sweet poppy filling? Um. Pass…But my dad loves it and he asked me to do something with the huge tin of poppy seeds he’d been hanging onto for about a billion years. So I reinvented Makowiec and turned it into something we could both enjoy. I nixed the yeast, turned it into a bundt cake, oh, and made it vegan of course.

Most family recipes consist of lasagne, your Grandma’s secret recipe for oatmeal cookies, or your Great Aunt Betty’s special spaghetti sauce. In my family, we have my Uncle Tom’s hot chicken wings, which we now lovingly refer to as Tommy Wings.These hot wings are pretty much the best things I’ve ever had, and I don’t even like chicken wings. Seriously. I don’t eat meat off the bone (hello, neurosis) and I certainly don’t really like hot things. (I’m more of a Tikka Masala girl.) Howeve...

This is another recipe for those feeling left out of the summer burger tradition. Today’s version is fresh and spicy thanks to the Indian flavors it’s got going on. And using panko breadcrumbs give these patties a delicious crispy, crunchy crust. I’ve paired these babies with a tangy yogurt dip. Vegans can use soy yogurt and non-vegans, feel free to use whichever yogurt you usually buy. Alongside the dip, I served thick slices of cucumber and tomato for a fresh summery lunch.

YES!!! The alcoholic in me is rejoicing with glee that MARTINI have just launched a couple of drinky poos ideal for sitting outside and getting slowly sozzled.Oooh yes. Bottoms up girls - the MARTINI Bianco and soda or MARTINI Rosatto and soda, aka the Iltalian Spriter, weighs in at one unit of alcohol and 105 calories per drink compared to heavyweight vino at 185 calories.

It seems everyone on the internet is doing lentil salad this week, so why not me? My version is a little Moroccan, a little Asian and a lot delicious. The base of this salad is tat soi, an Asian green that tastes like a spicy spinach or a mustardy bok choy. It works really well with the spicy Moroccan flavors in this salad, but if you can’t find tat soi by you, feel free to use arugula or baby spinach instead.

Although I’m a Londoner born and bred, a little part of me remains forever in Leeds as I have close family there. It’s not often I get the chance to visit Leeds city centre in fleeting visits, but when I do there’s one shop that’s always on included: Rose & Co.We’re lucky now to have a plethora of vintage / kitsch shops across the UK, and this is one of my favourites, with retro clothing, cute smellies that make Lush products look and smell like a teenager’s deranged chemistry expe...
