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 […]

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..

Now is the time that I do my present shopping – mainly online because frankly it’s so much less stressful. I do however treat myself to an annual […]

Chicken & Vegetable Broth

Get your glow back with a bowlful of this Chicken & Vegetable Broth. Bitefuls of carrot and swede, the occasional satisfying pop of a pea, chicken that’s fallen from the bone and glistening pearl barley… You know that feeling when you’ve been out in the sunshine all day and you feel all glowing and full […]

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! […]
