I had a craving for baked beans a few days ago and I decided to act on that impulse. It’s probably one of the most rewarding things to do as a human, is it not?
Since the weekend is upon us I figured this would give me plenty of time to soak the beans overnight, prepare the beans and then slowly cook them for 8-10 hours. Getting up on a Sunday at 7AM is just plain wrong, but for some reason I was compelled to do it. Sigh. And now I present to you the final product!

Through recent inspiration (let’s blame Jesse over at beansandtoast.com) I decided to make a quick and easy Korma dish, but was tired of the usual chicken that we normally eat in Indian food. So instead I got some veggies, coconut milk and korma paste together and created a lovely vegetarian dish that tasty is and filling!
Read on for details, we also included a picture of the brand of korma paste we used (you know, for reference….)

Every few days I get an insatiable craving for Indian food and this is how I decided to curb the hunger this time. Butter chicken is one of the most delectable and easily edible dish for just about any crowd, and this recipe proves that even your regular kitchen cook can provide a worthy Indian dish in a pinch.
I combined this saucy treat with some fresh naan bread (full recipe here) and some basmati rice. Read on for the recipe which includes a lovely tandoori chicken marinade.
Note: This recipe includes two full recipes. One for the tandoori chicken and one for the Butter Chicken Sauce.

Lemongrass & Mushroom Miso Soup
I sometimes get a hankering for lemongrass flavoured dishes, and at about 50c per stalk, there’s just no reason to cut it up, bruise it and toss it in an asian dish. Add to that this seemingly new obsession with soups and you’ve got this lovely and tasty creation above.
With plenty of veggies and flavor this soup has quickly climbed our ‘top soup’ list, and will likely remain for sometime. Read on for ingredients and directions!

In London, winter was in full force yesterday, with about 20-30 centimeters of snow falling, it was one of those days where you wished you were curled up in front of a fireplace. On days like today, there are really only a handful of foods suitable, and a thick and hearty soup is one of those! We decided to experiment with a vegetable soup by adding some Orzo and Kale leaves. We’d never had Kale prior to this, but its crunchy and sharp taste made it a wonderful compliment to the soft and warm Orzo.
Read on for the full recipe, and remember you can add any vegetable you feel would suit the weather!
