Chipotle Celeriac Tacos

Knobbly celeriac certainly doesn’t take home any beauty prizes but it does get top marks for its earthy, nutty flavor and robust texture. Try it roasted in these spicy tacos with cooling avocado cream and zingy pickled onions.

Baked Eggs with Spinach and Tomato

Ideal for brunch, these can be prepared ahead and baked when you want to serve them. You could add Parmesan cheese, cooked bacon bits, or any number of things to change then up a bit, but they are wonderful just as they are with a good sprinkling of salt and grinding of pepper.

Potato, Leek, and Chicken Pie

Traditionally, savory pies make use of a short crust pastry. However, this classic British pie uses scrunched up lengths of phyllo pastry on the top only which yields a lovely crunchy topping. The velvety sauce is enhanced with Dijon mustard and chopped fresh sage.

Meatball and Tomato Soup

Here is a hearty and delicious soup that is packed full of giant couscous, spinach, red peppers, and meatballs. You can purchase cooked meatballs or make your own. Although the recipe calls for pork meatballs, chicken, turkey, beef, or veal would all work.

Masi Samoa (Samoan Shortbread)

So many of the traditional British teatime treats rely on butter and eggs, but this twist on shortbread, via colonial Samoa, is vegan — and deliciously so! Amazingly ‘short’, these bars are perfect for dipping into a cuppa come late afternoon, or a cup of coffee in the morning, for that matter. You might even dip into a cup of hot cocoa at bedtime for a real treat!

Honey Mustard Fondant Potatoes

Serve these tender, meltingly good potatoes with just about anything to dress up a meal. Using ghee instead of butter allow you to use a higher cooking temperature without burning. 

Curried Prawns

This quick and delightful curry is based on a recipe from Jamaica, where seafood is such an integral part of the country’s culinary heritage. The flavors pay homage to the myriad of influences that built Jamaican food into the colorful and deeply spiced cuisine that it is today.
