We're so excited to share our new look with you!

We're creating kitchen alchemy by colliding two cool weather faves into this one wintry classic. Lamb shanks and shepherd’s pie come together for this slow-cooked dish that heaps on the cosy feelings. Give it the gift of time and the lamb will magic itself into a decadent, richly flavoured feast. Crowned with creamy peaks of potato, it's the ultimate mash-up.

Our pantries are lined with an arsenal of condiments, ready to be deployed to drop flavour bombs onto any finished dish.


We know all too well that there are dark corners of the pantry we dare not delve into. We know they’re there, collections of jars, tins and spices, quietly deteriorating months, or even years, beyond their expiry dates. Somehow, we manage to studiously avoid them until such a time as we are forced to confront what’s lurking in the depths.

With the advancement of spring comes the chance to relish new harvests, but make sure you know what’s in season and how to make the most of it.

To stir or not to stir, that is entirely up to you.

For nights that require classic comfort food, a chicken noodle soup is everything wholesome and warm. Whether you're feeding someone who is convalescing, trying to stave off the cold, or you simply feel like a bit of tender loving care, a chicken noodle soup is the ultimate cure-all. Below you'll find a collection of our favourite chicken noodle soup recipes, from a coconut Thai number to an easy and restorative bowl of ramen.

When you know, you know. Or, perhaps, you don’t? Sometimes we fling about cooking terminology willy-nilly and everyone’s so used to hearing it, we all assume we know precisely what these things mean. But what if you’ve been labouring under a misinterpretation of the instructions and have been doing it wrong this whole time?! Gulp.

The beauty of this recipe is that you can assemble it in whatever vessel you have. A mixing bowl, a large loaf tin or even a saucepan will work perfectly. Just make sure it fits in your freezer.
