Today, 8 November, is a very important European holiday. European Day of Healthy Food and Cooking. And you’ve probably never heard of it. Like probably 99% of society. We’ve got an ageing society. Which means more and more people will be needed for care, and the health service will be more and more overloaded, because … Read more
Warning: swearing a fuckload of swearing Couldn’t you do it without the swearing? The recipes are even good, but the language is straight out of the gutter. Fuck’s sake, no fucking way. A few years back, looking for some recipe, I think, I stumbled online on a gorgeous and truly sweet picture, the kind where … Read more
The World Health Organization (WHO) published the first global guidelines on obesity in children and adolescents at the beginning of October. Around 400 million children in the world are overweight, that’s one in five aged 5-19, and according to UNICEF 188 million (9.4%) children in the world are living with obesity.

And gluten-free is still one of the most important dietary religions going. INGREDIENTS: unroasted buckwheat groats 500 g water — for soaking plus 200 ml for blending … Read more

This is a proper two-door stainless-steel catering cupboard. It’s got four shelves, and the ugly truth hit … Read more
What painful dilemma do Chefs wrestle with in their hard lives when they get up in the morning on a day off? What would I eat? It’s a personal thing obviously, but I’d rather be hungry than eat something… not even that it’s unpleasant, but just not what I actually wanted. Nobody judges my dishes … Read more
Today’s news round-up. Estimates of this year’s harvests are coming in Great Britain, brassicas, yields down by as much as 25%. Outside Scotland, farming across the whole of Britain had a very bad season in everything. In Czechia the longest drought since records began and veg yields a third lower than last year. Farmers in … Read more
Main thing in life is to get yourself sorted. And not just this life. And what did the job for me was this bread pudding for the Lamas. INGREDIENTS: 400 g stale bread 650 ml oat milk or any other 130 g sugar 4 tablespoons ground flaxseed 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ginger 1/2 teaspoon … Read more
My relationship with matcha is complicated. Not as complicated as with booze. But still. I’m not a fan, to put it mildly. I bought a 200 g bag about six months back. For an idea I had for a glaze for Queen Elizabeth cake. And then I used it once for that matcha recipe. And … Read more
