The wild garlic was a revelation, and we wilted them slightly with the eggs just before serving as per the lovely shop assistant's recommendation. Leila's is a great place for discovering new ingredients. Every time we go there for the usual staples of Poilane bread and fresh eggs, we end up walking out with something unexpected. Recently it was Polish pickles and mustard, this time it was wild garlic. Definitely worth a look if you are in Shoreditch!

This was a healthy slice made for a trip up to the small isles in Scotland. We weren't sure what food would be available, so wanted to be prepared for many long train and ferry trips with a delicious snack that was not pre-packaged or processed.
I can't remember the exact recipe, but it was inspired by these Everything Bars and involved carrots, medjool dates, nuts, oats and wholemeal flour, with coconut oil and maple syrup.

end of week stir-fry
As with our curry formula, we enjoy making a stir-fry at the end of most weeks as the perfect way to use up any leftover vegetables. We have learnt that nearly any vegetable can work in a stir fry (even pumpkin) and like most meals we cook it is simple, fuss-free and delicious.

tofu burger
A simple, satisfying vegetarian burger.
Roasted pumpkin, tofu and a fried (organic, free-range) egg, nestled between slices of wholemeal/rye/sourdough bread (take your pick). Assemble and serve alone, or with some rocket drizzled in lemon.
