Coconut sambol

September 7, 2016September 7, 2016 ~ lizibeevor ~ 1 Comment

I've been telling you all about our trip to Sri Lanka and I think it's about time we got talking about food! Coconuts are everywhere you turn in Sri Lanka and there's nothing better in the heat and humidity than stopping at a coconut stall and drinking the fresh coconut water. It makes sense then … Continue reading Coconut sambol

Black Roe: Poke in Mayfair

August 31, 2016September 2, 2016 ~ lizibeevor ~ Leave a comment

I have been dying to visit Black Roe ever since hearing about its opening back in March. It's a small-ish restaurant on Mill St, Mayfair, specialising in Hawaiian cuisine, particularly poke ("po-kay"). Poke is similar to tartare or ceviche and is made with cubes of raw fish, usually tuna, seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and … Continue reading Black Roe: Poke in Mayfair

BBQ series: Jerk cauliflower skewers

August 18, 2016 ~ lizibeevor ~ 2 Comments

You can't have too much jerk barbecue in your life, so here's another use for jerk sauce - and it's both gluten free and vegan! I'm always on the look out for delicious veggie/vegan BBQ dishes and this is delicious and super easy! If you ask me, jerk sauce and cauliflower is a match made in … Continue reading BBQ series: Jerk cauliflower skewers

BBQ series: Jerk chicken

August 17, 2016August 2, 2016 ~ lizibeevor ~ 3 Comments

Jerk chicken is always a big hit with me at a barbecue. I know you can buy jerk sauce in supermarkets now, but I reckon a lot of people don't know just how easy it is to make yourself. I love to serve my jerk chicken with grilled pineapple, and you can serve rice with … Continue reading BBQ series: Jerk chicken

BBQ series: Hoi sin hot dogs

August 10, 2016August 10, 2016 ~ lizibeevor ~ 2 Comments

I love a good barbecue and I love a tried-and-tested, traditional burger or hot dog, but sometimes I'm after something a bit different. Today I'm sharing the first in a series of barbecue recipes for when you're up for a bit of a change or when you're out to wow your guests that I think … Continue reading BBQ series: Hoi sin hot dogs

Quick pickled vegetables

June 25, 2016May 16, 2016 ~ lizibeevor ~ 3 Comments

I use this basic recipe whenever I fancy a quick pickled side for a meal and so far I've tried it with cucumber, carrots, and red cabbage, but you can pretty much pickle whatever you fancy. You can use this recipe to pickle some vegetables to put in to my feta and pickled vegetable salad! This … Continue reading Quick pickled vegetables

Cheat’s flammkuchen

June 18, 2016May 10, 2016 ~ lizibeevor ~ Leave a comment

This is my cheat's version of flammkuchen or tarte flambée which is an Alsatian/German version of pizza. It's normally made with thinly-rolled bread dough shaped into a big rectangle (= hard work!) and topped with crème fraîche, onions and lardons. My cheat version uses wheat tortillas and it's super quick - great for when you don't … Continue reading Cheat’s flammkuchen

Feta and pickled vegetable salad

May 14, 2016April 6, 2016 ~ lizibeevor ~ 3 Comments

If you're looking for a quick salad to rustle up for a lunch box or a lightning fast healthy evening meal - I have the salad for you!! The great thing about this salad is that the pickles provide bite and acidity so it doesn't need a dressing. It's really just chopping and chucking into … Continue reading Feta and pickled vegetable salad

Spanish Tarta de Galletas

May 7, 2016September 14, 2018 ~ lizibeevor ~ 3 Comments

A good friend of mine from Murcia in Spain introduced me to this Spanish chocolate and biscuit cake, Tarta de Galletas. I've made this many times since and it always goes down a treat! One friend called them "pillows of loveliness" which I thought was a pretty good description of what I was aiming for. … Continue reading Spanish Tarta de Galletas

Hot cross NOT buns

March 25, 2016March 25, 2016 ~ lizibeevor ~ 1 Comment

It's Good Friday, and for those of us in the UK that means a 4-day weekend and hot cross buns! Or not buns... I don't know whether it's just that I haven't picked up on it before, but I've started to notice a trend in hot cross buns that aren't buns at all... Biscuiteers released … Continue reading Hot cross NOT buns
