A childhood favourite from my German heritage, watercress soup (Wasserkressesuppe) was something my mum used to make for us four perpetually hungry children. She would bring a huge tureen of soup to the table alongside fresh French bread and butter, and we' would devour the lot. Despite being made from very simple ingredients, it's surprisingly filling and incredibly nutritious. Watercress is often described as a superfood and is packed with vitamins A, C and K, along with an

If you've never made bread before, this is a great place to start. Irish soda bread is wonderfully simple. There's no yeast, no kneading and no lengthy proving time - just mix, shape and bake.

The result is a hearty, satisfying bread that supports digestive health, provides slow-release energy and is far more nutrient-de

Like many people, Pad Thai was the first Thai dish I ever tried, and it still remains one of my absolute favourites.

Fresh, crunchy, spicy and sharp, this Thai papaya salad is one of those dishes that instantly wakes everything up. I first fell in love with it alongside Pad Krapow in Thailand, where every street vendor seemed to have their own version. Traditionally, Som Tum Thai is made with palm sugar, but I use maple syrup instead. It gives the same gentle sweetness and balance without needing specialist ingredients, making it much easier for everyday cooking at home. The key ingredient

This dish has a bit of a story for me. It was first introduced to me by my son after he came back from his travels in Southeast Asia. A few years later, I had the chance to visit Thailand myself and I ate this street food every day. Simple, fiery, fragrant, and completely addictive. Traditionally made with pork, I prefer it with minced chicken, but it works just as well with pork, turkey or even Quorn mince. And while it’s usually topped with a fried egg, I like mine with a s

This is one of those meals that feels a little bit special without actually being difficult.

The samphire adds a lovely natural saltiness, while the tarragon lifts the richness of the sauce beautifully.
