Curried Sweet Potato and Marrow Soup


Savoury • Starters • Vegetarian

This recipe was inspired by Monique, a family friend who made me something very similar when she was staying. My Mother always grows lots of courgettes, some of which inevitably become Marrows. It’s hard to know what to do with them, but this recipe is a classic idea that really works. I love adding my Spiced Seeds to the top for extra texture and flavour.

1
  1. Peel the Sweet Potatoes and chop them into generous chunks.  Chop the Marrow into similar size pieces. Ruffly chop the Onion too.
  2. Heat a large pan over a medium flame and add the Olive Oil, Za’atar, Curry Powder and Celery Salt.
  3. Place the Sweet Potatoes and Marrow into the pan along with the crushed Garlic Cloves and chopped Onion.
  4. As the vegetable soften add the Stock cube and Water. Allow to Simmer for 30/40mins until everything is soft.
  5. Using a blender pulse the mixture until smooth.

Serve with a generous dollop of Creme Fraiche or Yoghurt and a sprinkle of my Spiced Seeds.

What to wear to Travel – The Winter Edition


On Location • Outfits

I realised recently that I never share what I wear to travel really. So I thought a little post was overdue. This is what I wore to my recent trips to Paris. It’s perfect for travel and comfortable enough to walk around in at the Eurostar. The only thing I have been switching up is the big bag, I have been using a Goyard shopper instead of my Birkin sometimes because it’s nice and light, but the Birkin is better if you are leaving the bag in hotel storage because you can close and lock it.
