| Dainty Strawberry Tartlets |
Inspired by (Tapping) The Source | Cocosuma Unfortunately the cyclical structure of our little lives means we’re not always on top form. Are we susceptible to highs and lows? Without a doubt. The good news is that if you’re feeling down, here are two things which are sure to help you spring back: Cocosuma (particularly their 2001 […]
| Pinapple, Ginger & Parsley Smoothie |
Inspired by Don’t Fucking Tell Me What To Do | Robyn We’re all terrified by Sundays. That strange, anxious, inexplicable feeling of…apocalypse? Yes that’s what I’m talking about. Robyn seems to be particularly susceptible to it and it’s understandable. It can’t be easy to wake up as a Swedish pop star who has promoted her latest album […]
| Zucchini-Tomato-Chèvre Pie |
Inspired by Arcade Fire | Sprawl II After eating it several times, created by the hands of a very good friend of mine, I baked it so many times that this pie became one of my common recipes. It’s super good and super easy to make and most often we already have everything we need somewhere in […]
| Cheeseburger Spring Rolls |
Inspired by Kids in America | Kim Wilde Head Chef Doron Wong at Delicatessen in Soho, has created cheeseburger spring rolls – one of those 2008 “modern classics” according to Page Six.

| Sea Bream Roasted with Cumin |
Inspired by Open Sea Theme – The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou Soundtrack (click to open on a new tab!) The Life Aquatic with Steve Zizzou is absolutely amazing.

| Double Chocolat & Raspberries Fondant |
Inspired by Over and Over | Hot Chip This recipe is the result of many failed attempts at that traditional “6 pack Summer Project”. You’ll soon understand why. We’ve all tried many different kinds of gooey fondants – some really are melt in the middle ones, others are just brownies disguised by a fancy name. However […]
| Brigadeiros (do Brasil) |
Inspired by Brasileirinho | Ramilson Maia Remix They’re actually just called brigadeiros, but I know how much you love (& we brazilians hate) saying “do brasioou”. Let’s delve into the history of the brigadeiro whilst listening to the drum and bass version of the great classic Brasileirinho remixed by Ramilson Maia. According to legend several versions exist but everything seems to […]
| Goat Cheese & Thyme Puff Parcels |
Inspired by Woo Hoo | 5.6.7.8’s Everyone’s off on holiday! The ones who stayed in France come back far browner than you are and the one’s that went else abroad won’t stop telling you about how wonderful their travels were like big instawhores. Don’t be jealous; just get ready to invite them over for drinks! There’s nothing […]
| Extra Virgin NYC Style Baked Eggs |
Inspired by In Your Eyes | Kylie Minogue In 2009 I spent 8 months living in New York. When I arrived a very good friend of mine introduced me to Extra Virgin, a pretty little restaurant in Greenwich Village. Following the discovery I developed a real obsession with eggs baked in the oven. Not only did […]
| Late Summer Salad |
Inspired by Antenna | Bonobo It’s not yet completely grey or raining all the time yet. It’s still OK to sit at a terrace or, even better, to make the most of your own or your friends’ terraces. Great. Now here’s a dish which is very easy to make, inexpensive and will be perfect for the last […]
