The Best Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients

Makes 1 dozen muffins

  • 1¼ cup / 210g all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup / 150g white sugar, plus more for sprinkling
  • ¼ cup / 35g corn starch
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher or sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2½ cups fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup / 120mL whole milk
  • 2 Tbsp salted butter, melted
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 1 large egg

Method

  1. Pre heat the oven to 400F / 205C.
  2. Butter a 12-cup muffin tin, cups and the flat overspill areas between, line each cup with cupcake liners.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Tip in the fresh blueberries and toss to coat.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, butter, extracts, and egg. Tip into the blueberry mixture and using a spatula fold gently just until the batter comes together.
  5. Divide the batter among the tins and sprinkle with additional sugar. Place the tin on a sheet tray lined with tin foil and place into the oven.
  6. Bake until golden brown and domed on top, about 23-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean of wet batter.
  7. Transfer tin to a rack and allow to cool slightly before removing from the tins. Serve hot with butter.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageImpala, Soho. From @super8restaurants , the team behind Kiln and Brat — you already know the pedigree. What you don’t expect is just how far the menu travels: North African, Mediterranean, shiso, wood fire, oxtail. Chef @meedu_saad is doing something genuinely singular here, and the room feels like it knows it. Go hungry, ask your server what to order, and surrender to it.

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageEvery summer, Chesterton Polo at Hurlingham Park is one of those dates I simply refuse to miss. Quintessentially British, utterly glamorous, and honestly — I haven’t the faintest idea about the rules, but who cares? The thundering hooves, the mallet swings, the collective gasp of the crowd… it’s pure electricity, even to a complete polo novice like me.

And the food? Chef’s kiss. The afternoon tea and scones alone are worth the ticket.

Did you know that polo is one of the oldest team sports in the world — first played in Persia over 2,500 years ago as military training for the king’s elite cavalry? Thousands of warriors, one ball. Somehow it evolved into this gorgeous, sun-drenched afternoon with scones. I’d say that’s progress. 🐴

Thank you to the wonderful @polointhepark team for having me — see you on the lawn again next year!

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageToday we’re making bulgogi, the K-BBQ dish that started so many people’s love affair with Korean food. And honestly? Once you make it at home, you’ll never look back. 
Quick fun fact: bulgogi literally translates to “fire meat” — bul (fire) + gogi (meat). Its roots trace all the way back to dish called “maekjeok”, seasoned beef skewers grilled over open flames during the Goguryeo era, more than 2,000 years ago. So when you’re cooking this, you’re cooking history. No wonder it’s such a beloved gateway into Korean cuisine.
Here’s how to make it:
Start with thinly sliced Korean-style bulgogi beef — you can grab it pre-sliced at any Korean grocery store (this is the move, trust me).
For the marinade, throw garlic, ginger, Asian pear, soy sauce, anchovy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, soju, sugar, and a crack of black pepper into a food processor and blitz until silky smooth. The pear is the secret weapon — it tenderizes the meat AND adds a gorgeous natural sweetness. ✨
Pour the marinade into a zip-top bag with the beef, give it a good massage, and let those flavors really sink in.
Heat your griddle or pan until SCREAMING hot, then sear the bulgogi until edges are charred. That caramelization = flavor.
I love serving this the proper, authentic way — with ssam (lettuce wraps), a scoop of warm rice, a smear of ssamjang, loaded with bulgogi, and then topped with pickled radish. Wrap it all up, pop the whole thing in your mouth in one bite (yes, the whole thing!), and thank me later.
