  • Apples should equal cake or some such delight right? I find @nigelslater (my all time cook and food hero) books such a delight both reading and making the recipes. I freqently find myself chuckling quietly as I devour the writing with my eyes. Making myself hungry in the process 😣 I had a lovely kitchen session yesterday, making the pickled Quince (saving that for xmas - the colour is amazing) and the Spiced Apple cake (which I topped with pickled nectarine slices) from 'The Winter Chronicles' book. . . . .

  • Yup it's that time of the year again. Apple season is here and I am for it! Who else goes scrumpin? I love free food 😂😂 Apples are a great food for anytime of the day. Great some on your oats with a sprinkling of cinnamon. Chop some up and have it with nut butter. Slice it in rounds and add to your cheese sandwich or in cubes for salads at lunch time. Roughly chop some up and add to your sausage pan for a spin on your sausage and mash. Or make a parnsip and #applesoup (link in bio). Nutritious food that is easy to add to any dish andy time of the day 😉 you are welcome! . . . Light and Love to you Beautiful souls. Alicia @KitchenTakeovers .

However, on a happier note -#dukkah taste blooming lush 😋😋 it's a #spiceblend I love to whip up and always have on hand. It's a great little snack mixed with quality #oliveoil for dipping breads or #homemadebiscuits like I had here. . . . . .Light and Love to you Beautiful souls. Alicia @KitchenTakeovers .

  • When the #slowcooker comes out you know it's officially #autumnvibes🍁 we are serving. The change in weather brings with it cooler temperatures, lots of layering of clothing and of course dishes that hug you from the inside and warm your cockles. Like this delish, literally no fuse bowl of goodness. I love my slow cooker for so many reasons. It uses less energy than the same amount of time using hobb or oven. It locks in flavour (due to slow prolonged cooking process). And above all for me, I don't have to tend it like when I cook on/in the hobb/oven. I can get on with life and it is happy to do it's thing and give me a melt in the mouth flavoursome dish at the end. RECIPE: 1 rack of ribs cleaned and seperated (non vegan option) *500g waxy potatoes, peeled and cut in 1/4s (#veganoption) 1 tbs molasses 1 tbs harissa (less if you don't like spice) 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice 1 tbs bbq sauce (optional) 1 tbs tomato puree 1 tbs vegetable oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1 tbs honey 1 red onion finely diced 2 cloves garlic finely chopped 2 aubergines, top and tailed, cut along their lengths 2 carrots, peeled and cut into batons 1/2 cup water Salt to taste (to your liking) METHOD: Set your slow cooker to high (low if cooking overnight or whilst at work). Chuck all the ingredients in the slow cooker pan, give it a good stir, cover and cook for 3+ hours. Till the meat falls off the bone without any effort. Serve it with some plain boiled rice or your favourite bread to mop up all the lovely juices. I added some chopped fresh parsley and mint, to kick up the #flavourprofile a notch. Some #almondslivers for crunch. This will keep for 3 days in the fridge, so makes a great cook and store. . . . . Light and Love to you Beautiful souls. Alicia @KitchenTakeovers .

  • "So what you're saying is...." Oh the look of utter confusion being disguised as comprehension. This was my face after a meeting with a lawer and tax advisor few months ago in Vienna. Why am I posting it now? Well because this weekend I found myself with the same look on my face going through UK tax filing 😂😂😂😂😂 I guess tax is confusing in every language! 😩😑 Here's wishing you all a fab Sunday. . . . .Light and Love to you Beautiful souls.

  • My neighbour gifted me these gorgeous #quinces, they are not fully riped as they're wind fallen fruit. They are furry and wonky and imperfect but I LOVE them inspite of that. I wish I could preserve them like ornamental gourds. . Last time I had quinces they were bigger than my palms and I made a tart and some ice cream. I am looking for inspiration so throw me some ideas yah'll 😊😄 . . . . Alicia @KitchenTakeovers .

  • I have had 'one of those days' today. I need some #Caribbeanfood comfort - specifically (is dat even a word? 😨)#jamaicancurry with some #hardfood. And to be honest I could do with just buring my head under the covers and shutting the world out. But the hustle never stops and life throws cruve balls every so often. As they say, it's how you react that matters. Looking back over the last few hours I guess I could have reacted differently. Though sometimes a good cry is just as good as punching stupid people in the throat so they stop talking #@$& . . Here's hoping you are all standing your ground through the struggles you may come up against. . . . Light and Love to you Beautiful souls. Alicia @KitchenTakeovers .

  • Tofu is such a fab and versatile ingredient. I know alot of folks don't like it. But I LOVE IT! once you know how to work with it and the various textures anything is culinary possible with this ingredient. I use @cauldronfoods #organictofu, seasoned with ginger and soy sauce. Then steam the whole block, slice and pan seared. . . Alicia @KitchenTakeovers . Till next time 👉 'Eat mindfully, Drink responsibilly, and Excercise your mind & body'. 💕💖
