My kitchen cupboard
I love clever ideas. Inspiring people. Brilliant businesses. Smart execution. Delicious food.
This is the place where I store the brilliant stuff I find and read (none of which I’m affiliated with, by the way …).
It’s updated frequently, so you’ll want to check back often or, even better, subscribe to the “My kitchen cupboard” rss feed.
This website is printer-friendly, so if you see a long post you want to read but are having trouble reading on the screen, feel free to print it out.
And… do share any content you love with your friends on your preferred social media or social bookmarking sites. Thanks!
Happy reading!
Wild garlic: free food!
Wild garlic is commonly found in wooded areas, often growing amongst bluebells. The plants, which belong to the allium family are easy to recognise (the pics above hopefully help) but any doubt you may have is quickly erased when you snap one of the … Continue reading
by Monique May 1, 2013Orange & almond cake
Just about everyone I know loves this Claudia Roden inspired recipe. It is an exemplary cake and pudding: fragrant with a slightly bitter note, moist and so easy to make. What’s not to like? It works really well with clementines … Continue reading
by Monique January 30, 2013Frangipane quince pies
Really delicious, much fruitier and with a more interesting texture I think. They beat traditional mince pies – which can be a bit of ‘sandy’ mouthful - hands down! These ‘mince pies with a twist’ were originally inspired by a quince Bakewell … Continue reading
by Monique December 13, 2012Plum & almond cake
This time of year it is impossible to be unmoved by the sight of abundant produce at local farmers’ market: plums, greengages, the last blackberries, courgettes, aubergines, the first English apples such as Discovery and Worcester Pearmain and ofcourse mushrooms. … Continue reading
by Monique September 17, 2012Peach & blackberry cobbler
This is a real crowd pleasure, dead easy to make and works beautifully with (even not so great) peaches. And a great summer to autumn pudding. This is what you need: 4 ripe peaches punnet of blackberries (or blueberries or … Continue reading
by Monique August 28, 2012Dairy SOS
I know the margins vary slightly depending on producer prices, but the overall picture is very clear: bottled water is more expensive than milk … in fact … Continue reading
by Monique July 25, 2012Free food: wild garlic!
I was really excited last year to come across a sizeable area of wild garlic chive plants in our local, urban, wood. The season for wild garlic was coming to an end soon and I had all but given up hope of being able … Continue reading
by Monique May 25, 2012Give peas a chance: smashed peas, dill & Feta
If you like ‘fresh’, ‘zesty’ and ‘texture’ this is for you! Really quick and easy to make and works a treat with frozen peas until fresh peas are in season in June. You could try substituting the dill with mint … Continue reading

by Monique April 23, 2012Slow-roasted lamb with olives
One for the Easter weekend … or any other weekend whilst we wait for the weather to warm up sufficiently to get the BBQ out. A boneless shoulder of lamb is ideal for roasting very slowly at low temperature: it … Continue reading
