Bread, at its simplest, requires no other ingredients than flour and salt. And since most of us are lucky enough to have access to running water - and can probably afford a bag of two dollar flour - the dream of homemade bread needn't be a complicated one.

Classic tomato relish
I've come to use it instead of tomato paste on pizzas, and a dollop will often brighten up an Asian stir-fry sauce well too. Though ultimately, to have a relish like this on hand for cheese toasties is almost entirely reason enough.
Dukkah (#1 DIY Christmas Gift)
It's been a while since I've sat down to write one of these! I would apologise for my absence but, hey, we all get busy and know what it's like to have to let some things fall to the wayside a bit as other priorities take over. (That mosaic plaque you started in 2013 and…

Raw Buckwheat and Turmeric Porridge
Breakfast has a special place in my heart. As soon as I get out of bed I relish nothing more than filling my grumbling void of a stomach with something satiating and substantial. This is partly due to necessity, as I've been informed that I'm not the happiest of campers when hungry, but largely because I…
Hummus, Two (Colourful) Ways
I've been reading a lot lately. There's something about the temperature dropping down a notch outside that makes you want to move inside with a good book. While most people probably snuggle up on the couch with a good novel, I've been curling up with cookbooks. This isn't abnormal behaviour in my family, I might…
