Fresh & Co: Best Breakfast in the Big Apple
Breakfast is one of my favourite dishes and this was probably reinforced when we recently went to New York. On our first morning there we were searching somewhere for breakfast. Initially I could only see the usual Starbucks and some Bagel place, which were not inspiring me when I looked…
I Sea Bacon: cooking with dulse
We have a bit of a thing about seaweed at Edinburgh Foody. It’s not just that Amy works for Mara Seaweed, but also that I love the textures and flavours of the stuff, from bright green crunchy wakame to near-black sheets of nori. A while back I reviewed Seamore’s I…
Vini Bal’s – Quick, authentic curry in a pouch
Now some might think the title of this post is a bit of an oxymoron, but I really was hugely impressed with the cook-in sauces from Vinni and Bal. I have been caught in the past trying out other Indian sauces available in a jar from the supermarket, but they…

My Jam: Reduced Sugar Store Cupboard Superfood
Having recently enjoyed unusual Coconut Jam from Buko Organic, I was intrigued to try another new jam product that came our way. My Jam is the creation of Shuiken Chan, a former lawyer turned actress and jam maker. (As you do.) Shuiken wanted to create a fruit spread with no…
Healthy, Versatile and Delicious: Buko Organic Coconut Jam
I wasn’t sure what to expect from coconut jam but even so, what I received wasn’t what I imagined. Based on my experiences with coconut oil, I had pictured something white and perhaps lumpy or granular like a thick fruit jam. In reality, Buko Organic Jam was far more enticing.
