About Bananuts
Nuts About Good Food.
Recipes worth making, stories worth knowing, and food discovered from kitchens around the world.
Bananuts is a place for people who genuinely love good food — from easy weeknight dinners and comforting favourites to homemade traditions, curious discoveries and recipes inspired by places near and far.
What Is Bananuts?
More Than Just Recipes
Bananuts started with a simple belief: good food doesn’t have to be complicated.
It’s about the recipe you make after a long day, the dish you can’t stop thinking about, the homemade pickle passed down through generations, and the meal that reminds you of somewhere you’ve been.
Bananuts brings all of that together in one place — practical recipes, food discoveries, cooking inspiration and the stories behind what we eat.

The Bananuts Approach
Good Food Should Feel Doable.
We believe a recipe should do more than tell you what to put in a bowl.
It should tell you why something works, where an idea came from, what you can change, and — most importantly — whether we’d make it again. That’s the standard we want every Bananuts recipe to meet.
Doable
Clear instructions without unnecessary complexity.
Flavour First
Recipes should be genuinely worth eating.
Curious
We love discovering ingredients, techniques and traditions.
Worth Sharing
Because the best food rarely stays with one person.
Made the Indian Way
Homemade Food Has a Story of Its Own.
From jars of mango pickle slowly transformed by sun and time to crisp homemade fryums prepared for the season, Indian kitchens are full of recipes that are as much about tradition as they are about food.
Bananuts is documenting these dishes, techniques and traditions — and making them easier for today’s kitchens to discover and recreate.

The Person Behind Bananuts
Meet Claire Bennett
A curious cook, a lifelong traveller, and the editorial voice behind Bananuts.
Claire Bennett is the curious cook and traveller behind Bananuts.
She has always been drawn to the stories that surround food — the places where a dish is discovered, the people who make it, the ingredients that give it character, and the traditions that keep a recipe alive.
Her travels have taken her from European cafés and Mediterranean streets to bustling Asian cities and neighbourhood kitchens, where she discovered that some of the most memorable food isn’t necessarily the most complicated.
Claire brings those discoveries back to Bananuts as recipes, ideas, cooking inspiration and stories worth sharing. For her, food is a way of exploring the world — and Bananuts is where those discoveries meet the everyday kitchen.
Some recipes take you around the world.
Others bring the world to your kitchen.
