A Winter’s Cocktail – Gin Gin!

Back in the summer, I was sent a rather lovely looking bottle of Foxdenton Rhubarb Gin and asked if I would like to come up with a recipe for it to post here on my blog. I enthusiastically agreed (being a big gin lover AND a big rhubarb lover) but then life got in the […]

Summer Party Food – Cheesy Prosciutto Puffs

Doesn’t that title just lure you in? I really love a summer party. It summons images of warm evenings, lively chatter, soft music, fruity Pimms and of course, wonderful food. Light and colourful, packed with flavour and to allow for mingling, in nibble form. Just the word ‘nibble’ fills me with a kind of girlish […]

The Perfect Sunday Brunch

I’m a big fan of anything that helps make my life easier in the kitchen and so I was delighted to be asked to do a collaborative post with Panasonic and a bit of a shout out to their new range of bread makers. I have a bread maker of my own and I’m not sure […]

Drink: Grapefruit Gin & Tonic Slushie

A sip or two of this citrus slushie will start your spring BBQ with a swing. A great twist on the classic gin & tonic, this drink is sharp and refreshing with more buzz than a bumblebee in a sunflower…. A friend of mine recently posted a picture on Facebook of their first BBQ of […]

Slow Cooker Beef in Red Wine

Beef, cooked in red wine, with a touch of rosemary until it’s meltingly soft. Simple ingredients but flavours that are rich and deep… I’ve been meaning to post this recipe since before Christmas but I kept making it and then eating it all before I remembered to take a photo! It’s one of those magical […]

Chinese Salmon and Crispy Kale

Sweet and salty, crispy seaweed stylee kale and succulent, pink, salmon with just a hint of the orient. A Chinese whisper if you will.. I’ve always loved the Crispy Seaweed that you get at the Chinese. I think it’s the combination of sweet and salty along with that satisfying crunch – plus hey, it’s one of […]

5 Quick and Healthy Breakfast Ideas

This is the time of year when we all look at our waistlines and sigh (if you’re reading this and thinking ‘not me’ – then lucky you!) It’s the time when we give up all those things we enjoy in the hope that THIS will be the year that we attain our body goals. The last […]

A festive feast: Cranberry Glazed Poussins with ‘Bauble’ & Squeak

With the festive season upon us I must confess I’ve been rather slack on the blogging front (sorry!) I have however been working on one little piece that I’m rather proud of and that I hope you’ll try this Christmas. Recently published on wayfair.co.uk, here’s my recipe for Cranberry Glazed Poussins with Festive ‘Bauble’ & […]

Recipe: Apple Flapjacks

Oats, apple, golden syrup and just the smallest hint of cinnamon. What’s not to love about these meltingly soft, sweet apple flapjacks? The great thing about flapjacks is that despite the fact that they’re clearly a yummy little treat; sweet and gooey like a slice of cake, they’re made from oats and so they somehow seem really […]

Crispy Baked Chicken with Sweet Potato Fries

That satisfying crunch, through the crispy, golden breadcrumb coating, into succulent bites of chicken… This recipe is a slightly more grown-up, much tastier and healthier version of the kids classic, chicken nuggets and chips. It’s for those days when you yearn for childish food. You want something simple and comforting. Something that can be eaten with […]
