Celeriac seems to be very 'in' with the contestants on MasterChef: The Professionals have been using it left and right for the last two seasons. The stumpy vegetable has never appealed to me in the produce aisle, but last week, I decided to get one.

Green Earl Grey chocolate truffle cake
A good friend gave me a jar of fancy chocolate truffle sauce. I didn't really know what to do with it until I spotted the can of Fortnum & Mason Green Earl Grey tea leaves sitting in the press. The same friend also gave me an electric mixer a while ago after finding out that I'd been sticking to loaf cakes because I had to do everything by hand. So I decided to try my hands at making something other than a loaf. This green Earl Grey chocolate truffle cake is what I came up with. As per usual, the recipe is adapted from one using wheat flour, and I swapped regular Earl Grey (black tea) with Earl Grey Green (green tea).

Stir-fried beef mince in lettuce cups
As I'm trying to steer away from wheat and hence no more pasta, I had to come up with a new way of using my weekly mince, with which I used to make spaghetti bolognese. I came up with this light and tasty stir-fry dish.

Gingerbread loaf
Ginger is a versatile spice, wonderful in marinades, tea, and cakes. One of my favourite ways of using ginger is simply boiling thin slices of it in water and drink it with a squeeze of lemon and a drop of honey. I'm also partial to gingersnaps and gingerbread.
