Highlight of our weekend was this amazing Matcha Tiramisu! Thank you darling @roseolver Such a delicious combination - ladyfingers dipped in bitter matcha providing a contrast to the rich, creamy mascarpone. #tiramisu #matcha #matchatiramisu #matchatime

This was the last bit of our New Year feast - clementine jelly. It is easier than it looks. Growing up it was a new year ritual with my mother...Just scoop out the segments (8 large clementines/satsumas once you have cut away the windows, squeeze all the juice into a bowl using a muslin square (approx 400ml) mix & heat in a pan with 5 gelatine leaves soaked in water until they have dissolved, pour into the baskets using a jug. Leave to set! Add some sugar if you don’t think they are sweet enough but I love them unadulterated #fruitjelly #clementinejelly #freshfruitjelly #healthyeating #healthypudding

I seem to have spent most of today cooking - what else is there to do other than a foggy dog walk on this New Years Day! This is a cobbled together ‘Osechi Ryori,’ Japanese New Year food using my rather limited ingredients. Middle pic is delicious sweet potato with chestnuts called ‘Kurikinton,’ pic 3 are ‘Toshikoshi soba,’ noodles to be eaten as one crosses the years, long for long life, but also can be cut easily to leave behind what was not good in the previous year also made of buckwheat for strength. Happy New Year everyone #osechi #osechiryori #kurikinton #kurikinton #toshikoshi #toshikoshisoba #toshikoshi_soba

Thrilled with my new Le Creuset pan I was given by my chicks for Christmas. They will be the biggest beneficiaries! Cooked up some remaining leeks I pulled out of the kitchen garden (such a beautiful colour) & made a spinach, leek, feta & filo pie #homegrownleeks #leeks #spinachrecipes #greekpie #spinachfetapie #lecreuset #lecruset Recipe in the link in my bio

If you think you need to provide for members of your Christmas bubble with a non Christmas pudding, pudding, have a dig around your freezer for some eggs whites (I always have some frozen in batches of 6) and make these Ottolenghi inspired meringues which will keep in a tin for days. Totally delicious with whipped cream and any combination of berries (grab them while you can!) or stewed winter fruit.
