You wont catch me dead in a restaurant on Valentines day, as much as I enjoy eating out it really has to be the worst day of the year to do so – the overcrowding, the predictable, overpriced set menus, the air of awkward forced romance… No, a delicious meal at home with a bottle […]

Thai Green Curry Baked Salmon With Coconut Rice & Vegetable Ribbon Salad
As much as I love to cook, there are days when I just really can’t be bothered, when I am tired, hungry and just want food NOW dammit! On those kind of days I will generally turn to a stir fry as my go-to meal as they are so quick and simple to make; that […]

Coconut & Cherry Swiss Roll
Spring is beginning to feel a little bit more like a reality; don’t get me wrong, it is still cold and wet out, but the sun has been making a more regular appearance, it no longer gets dark quite so depressingly early and the first of the daffodils have begun to flower. It is also […]

Quinoa, Lentil, Kale And Feta Salad With Salmon
Barring some extremely boring vegetable broths I made when I tried following the 5:2 diet for a while (I lasted 5 weeks and only lost 2lb… and fast days were a nightmare, I have been banned from trying it again, apparently I am not very nice to be around when I’m starving, shocker.), this quinoa, […]

Carrot & Caraway Seed Bread & February 2016 Degustabox Review
Welcome to my review of the February 2016 Degustabox. If you’re not familiar with the Degustabox then in brief it’s a subscription service whereby each month you’re sent a box full of goodies to try; most are either new brands or products and it works out far cheaper than buying everything individually in the shops.

Hokkaido Milk Bread Hot Cross Bun Loaf
The best part about any holiday or celebration is the food, and more specifically, the baked goods; cakes and breads feels so much more special if you only consume them once a year. My favorite Easter bake is hot cross buns, though I do also love Simnel cake, but I have a particularly weak spot […]

Rich, Fudgy Better-For-You Brownies (Gluten/Grain/Refined Sugar/Dairy-Free) & A Giveaway
I honestly thought that these brownies were going to be rubbish; this was my first time baking with coconut flour and I just made the recipe up as I went along. They didn’t look like anything much when I pulled them out of the oven and they don’t have that much coveted shiny, flaky brownie […]

Toasted Coconut Pancakes With Chocolate Fudge Sauce
I have been on a serious pancake drive recently and have been craving them ALL THE TIME… I have pretty low willpower so needless to say I’ve been eating a lot of pancakes! I’ve been making loads of different kinds – banana spelt, apple rye and cinnamon, the classic crepes with lemon and sugar, broccoli […]

Chocolate, Olive Oil And Rosemary Cake With Candied Blood Oranges
Did you all have a good Easter? I spent most of mine seeing friends and starting a massive spring clean of the house; I say start because it took me four hours just to do the kitchen, after which I got fed up, gave up and took the dog for a walk to enjoy the […]

Berry Cider Cake With Mascarpone Cream
A marvelous thing happened the other day – I was able to go outside without a coat! Since then there have been a few days where it has been warm enough to venture out without one (though certainly not every day!), the sun has been making a regular, much welcomed appearance, and last night it […]

Slow Cooked Lamb Rogan Josh And Quick, Flaky Roti
Last week I spoke about Spring having finally arrived, the weather getting warmer and the sun making an appearance…. well my happiness was sadly very short-lived as soon after that post was published the weather took a turn for the worse and it has been cold, wet, windy and miserable since then. So much for […]

Spiced Yellow Split Pea And Sweetcorn Soup With Cheesy Arepas
Continuing the theme of hearty, warming recipes, today I’ve got one of my favourite soup recipes for you – spiced yellow split pea and sweetcorn soup; it is really healthy, full of protein and vegetables, incredibly delicious, and because of the split peas it is also very filling. I make it regularly over the colder […]

S’mores Eclairs & A Giveaway
The last few days I have achieved precisely nothing. The reason for this is three months old, loud, and prone to waking at 4am; aka my niece. I was babysitting for a couple of days and despite my best intentions to get some work done while she was here I failed miserably; if anyone can […]

Banana Rum Caramel Bundt Cake & Bake Box Review
Can you believe that up until now I have never owned a bundt tin? I have always coveted one, but they are quite expensive (I want a Nordicware one…) so I have never been able to justify buying one. So I was rather pleased when a box full of baking goodies that I was sent […]

Gin And Bitter Lemon Sorbet

Double Chocolate Almond Raisin Muffins & A Giveaway
I’ve had a pretty busy couple of weeks recently, there has been some very grown-up stuff happening (words like mortgage! Solicitors! Conveyancing!), and some not-so-grown-up stuff (epic pirate cake baking!), as well as several friends coming to stay; so unfortunately I’ve had very little time for blogging and my social media has been thoroughly neglected.

We have had some truly glorious weather recently (interspersed between some very wet and miserable days…); as I write this I am overlooking our back garden, which is beautifully warm and sunny, aaand horrifically overgrown…all the plants have had a sudden growth spurt and it is getting towards the point where even the dog can’t […]

Pimm’s Fruit Tarts
Did you know that the Queen has not one but two birthdays? Obviously there is her actual birthday, on April 21st; but since 1748 the sovereign of the UK has had an ‘official’ birthday which is generally set around the start of June, to coincide with a higher probability of good weather for outdoor ceremonies.
