Vegan Peanut Butter Cookies

4th February 202012th February 2020Sasha Gill

Little intense vegan peanut cookies drenched in a dark chocolate drizzle. They make the perfect afternoon snack! If you aren’t vegan or don’t have the alternatives on hand, it works with butter, milk, any chocolate (side note: omitting the chocolate is NOT optional, unless you are deathly allergic)… but if you have the option to […]

A Case for Warm Salads

4th February 202017th February 2020Sasha Gill

Anyone who knows me knows that I ardently adore salads. I like mine in gargantuan portions, drizzled lavishly with a punchy vinaigrette, brimming with handfuls of fresh summer produce and tufts of herbs. Then, tossed very well – until you do not know where one flavour begins and another ends. Summer salads, served chilled and […]

Recipe: Pandan Waffles with Peanut Butter

20th January 20205th February 2020Sasha Gill

These were the ultimate treat growing up. My father would often arrive home, a rumpled white paper bag stained with tell-tale splotches of peanut oil in hand. And if that wasn’t enough of a clue, the smell would hit you soon after: pandan, peanuts and the vanilla-sweet whiff of coconut. The waffles themselves are a […]

RECIPE: Apples with pecans, and a chocolate butterscotch sauce

16th January 202029th January 2020 Elinor Davies

The combination of apple and toffee has always been delicious, whether in the form of a toffee apple or a caramel and apple tart. Often, however, the apple is overlooked as people favour the intense sweetness of toffee, only eating the apple to assuage their guilt. This recipe, however, places the spotlight on the apple, […]

RECIPE: Ginger and White Chocolate Cheesecake

11th January 202020th January 2020 Elinor Davies

Even though its January, I’m sure nobody has any intention of reading diet recipes: the prospect of waiting another year for Christmas is sad enough without throwing quinoa into the situation. So, to wean off Christmas feasting, make one of the simplest cheesecake recipes that (despite its deliciously sounding title) doesn’t require any fiddly work […]

Doritos and Quavers Mac n’ Cheese Recipe

15th June 20197th July 2019Benjamin Chuah

I can proudly say that out of all the recipes I’ve cooked up, from ketchup and mustard tomato pasta to popcorn and prosciutto, this is my prized achievement. Having been inspired by Chang’s ‘Fritos Fritters’ from Orange is the New Black, I felt that pasta and junk food is the combination that no one asked […]

Knock Gnocchi: The Perfect Recipe

20th May 201927th May 2019Suzannah Murray

I don’t even like gnocchi that much. Of course as a human with taste buds and an appreciation for carbohydrates, I like gnocchi. But I think I’m limiting my own enjoyment of it with my sheer gnocchi-making incompetence. I make gnocchi so frequently that I should just be much better at it, and so haphazardly that […]

Moo-ve over dairy: go egg-free this pancake day

26th February 2017Lizzie Shelmerdine

Traditional pancakes are usually made with milk and egg, but it is surprisingly simple, quick, and significantly healthier to substitute a dairy-full recipe for dairy-free. Its also a great way to get rid of black bananas and up your protein intake with incognito peanut butter. These pancakes are thick and spongy, with just the right […]

Cook once, eat for a week: German stews

15th February 2016Hannah Behrens

My favourite foods are kale, turnip and savoy stew, as they are foods that remind me of home. But they are also healthy, cheap, little work and last you a week. In winter the traditional German kitchen is dominated by one-week stews. They are based on a vegetable that is hard or fibrous, like kale, […]
