Breakfast recipes to get your day off to a good start! Pancakes, waffles, muffins and more.
My daughter Kipper’s loaded cheesy breakfast focaccia tops fluffy home-made Italian bread with caramelised onions, olives, herbs, and three different cheeses! A savoury morning treat. Since the start of the school year, my daughter Kipper has been getting the school bus in the morning. This is generally a Good Thing…
Succulent spiced fruits in a rich syrup. Grandma’s fruit compote makes a delicious dessert or a healthy breakfast. Do you ever prepare a dish whose aroma transports you while it is cooking? The fragrance of this sweet and spicy dried fruit compote is like a culinary time machine – one…
One long Sunday afternoon I was sitting at the kitchen table, fighting a craving for a sugary and calorific muffin. I sipped at my tea and wondered, is it possible to bake healthy breakfast muffins that are still delicious? I could pack them full of sneaky hidden fruit and vegetables, and…
Ren Behan’s Polish apple pancakes are a terrific tea-time treat. Sweet, fruity, and delicious! It’s pretty obvious with hindsight, but for most of my life I didn’t realise that what I think of as (Ashkenazi) Jewish food is mostly just Eastern European food. Borscht, pickles, herring and rye bread… they may…
Am I alone in finding breakfast the hardest meal to organise during Pesach? Surely not. If you’re used to starting the day with toast or cereal, then like me, you’re probably struggling too. Or at least, you’re struggling like I used to do! For the last few years I’ve been creating,…
Creamy avocados smashed onto golden toast & topped with smoked mackerel, spring onions & zesty lime. Heaven in every bite! I’m no hipster, but I do have a long history with avocados! My parents were pretty adventurous with food so I must have eaten them as a toddler, even though…
The Whole30 diet is great in many ways, but the food can get a bit, well, same-y. And after eating either fruit with coconut yogurt, or eggs for breakfast for nearly three weeks, I needed some other way to start my day off right. Just before Pesach I’d been browsing…
These Pesach blueberry muffins are moist, crumbly, & bursting with juicy berries! Free from gluten, kitniot, & gebrokhts, they’re delicious at any time. Before I go any further, just take a look at these fruity Pesach muffins. Golden, luscious, inviting, and topped with crunchy, crumbly streusel topping. And completely 100%…
There are three foods that we seem to eat an awful lot of at Pesach. They are 1) matza – obviously, 2) eggs, and 3) dried fruit – to attempt to alleviate some of the digestive effects of items 1 and 2! I don’t know about you, but a bowl…
Pesach breakfast. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t get fed up with matza and jam after a few days. Fruit? Yogurt? I’m always on the look out for new and more interesting Pesach breakfast ideas. And while I’m usually not that into gebrokhts (“wet matza”), I do make an exception for things…
