The Apples of My Eye

“For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.” Martin Luther Today’s post is a little different – partly because I’ve been a touch under the weather and so haven’t made it to the kitchen much over […]

Recipe: Creamy Coconut Butternut Squash Curry

A creamy coconut curry sauce fighting for saucepan space with chunks of butternut squash and fresh, seasonal veg… Comfort food conundrum When life gets tough, it’s all too tempting to turn to comfort food to see you through. The problem is, comfort food doesn’t tend to be particularly healthy food, so although it feels pretty […]

Recipe: Apple & Blackberry Cheesecake

A crumbly biscuit base, cushions of soft cinnamon cream topped with a gleaming crown of autumn fruits… I am SO happy about this recipe. It’s perfect if you love the autumnal combo of apple and blackberry but you’re looking for a change from the usual crumbles and pies. Cheesecake Nostalgia Cheesecake is one of those desserts that’s an ultimate […]

Sun Dried Tomato & Black Olive Crusted Lamb Chops

A golden breadcrumb coating, flecked with black olive and sun dried tomato, crunching through to lamb, cooked to just pink perfection… Lamb; at its most flavourful after feasting on the lush grass of summer. Just pink, like rosy cheeks, coming back from the park on cool Saturday mornings as August fades to Autumn. Sun Dried Tomato; Summer’s […]

Gluten Free Recipe: Pear & Almond Cake

Subtle, sweet pear and unctuous almond make this gluten free cake moist, luxurious and incredibly more-ish (Don’t say you weren’t warned…) It’s a funny thing, having a food blog. People assume that you’re suddenly an expert in all things cooking and baking. Pssst! I’ve got a little secret for you… I’m really not! Don’t […]

In Season in September

It only seems like yesterday that I was writing this post for August and looking forward to the joys of figs and crayfish. However, here we are at the start of September and perhaps more significantly, the arrival of Autumn. The bold colours of summer are subtly changing to burnished reds and golds. The wild flowers that carpeted […]

Recipe: Butternut Squash Gnocchi with Basil and Lemon

Succulent little squash gnocchi; soft, sweet and zingy with a drizzle of garlic butter and a sprinkling of parmesan I love a good ‘nuttersquat bosh’ as they’re fondly referred to in my family. They’re so versatile – you can make them into soup, roast them and serve them as a side dish, stuff them with something […]

Recipe: Winter Vegetable Soup & Cheese & Rosemary Toasts

I love this soup! It’s incredibly simple, incredibly cheap and incredibly tasty. Picture a cold, winter’s day and you’ve just come inside after taking the kids to the park. Everyone’s noses are red and everyone’s tummies are rumbling. Luckily, you have a few bits of old, rather sorry for itself veg that needs using up! […]

Recipe: Smoked Haddock & Prawn Chowder

Chowder was a great favourite while I was growing up. We always had fish on Fridays and my brother and I tended to view it as a bit of a disappointment. There were a few dishes however that absolutely stood their own against their meaty cousins from the rest of the week. Chowder was […]

What’s in season in November?

November in season: I can’t help but feel that I missed a trick (and a treat) by not including any pumpkin recipes in October! Oh well… Thankfully, November brings with it, its own selection of delicious, seasonal ingredients (and I’m pretty sure that pumpkins are still going strong too for that matter!) Fruit & Veg […]
