When it comes to tourism in Belgium, Brussels gets a bad rap. Go to Bruges, they say, for the picturesque canals and mediaeval centre. Go to Antwerp, they say, for world class art and hipster fashion. Go to Ghent, they say, for more of the same plus cycling too. Go to Ypres, they say, for ... Read more »
Courgette, Goat’s Cheese & Mint Frittata
As a late comer to making frittata my enthusiasm for this simple dish is as yet unabated. Its versatility is particularly welcome in this hot and muggy weather – it can serve as breakfast, lunch, dinner or an anytime-snack and is just as good hot or cold. And of course, the variations are endless, making ... Read more »
Jungle Juice Sorbet
I love safari! Pete and I are fortunate to have been on several over the last two decades and have particular soft spots for the wildlife parks of Botswana, Kenya and South Africa, to name a few. There’s something utterly captivating about observing birds and animals in their natural habitats, up close and personal. ... Read more »
Variations on Potato Dauphinoise
I’ve shared three Potato Dauphinoise posts on Kavey Eats over the years – the easy dauphinoise recipe I learned at the Waitrose cookery school, a caramelised onion and potato dauphinoise and a sweet potato and ham dauphinoise.

Little Orange & Lime Cakes from Brazil | Bolinhos de Laranja e Limão

Instead, for the last several years we’ve mixed most cake batters directly in our food processor, ... Read more »
Uni Restaurant | Nikkei Cuisine in London
I recently started a new job in Victoria, an area jam-packed with mediocre chain restaurants and coffee shops. When I asked food friends for recommendations, Uni was a name that popped up more than once, with its salmon tacos singled out for particular praise. Taco shells filled with salmon tartare isn’t a dish I’ve ever ... Read more »
How to Make Brazilian Brigadeiro Chocolate Bonbons
Thus far, all the Brazilians I’ve met are warm, friendly, simple (by which I mean uncomplicated and genuine, not lacking in intelligence) and full of laughter. Brigadeiro, a chocolate bon bon made with a few simple ingredients and decorated in a bold – perhaps even gaudy – style, is a wonderful representation of Brazil and ... Read more »
