As a slack Daring Baker of late, I’m surprised I’ve not been kicked out. I keep having other cakes due on the 27th when we post our challenges and have not been organised enough to get DB finished and written up first. The March and April challenges didn’t inspire me and I was away [Read on...]
Sarka of Cooking Your Dream and Guilia of Jul’s Kitchen at the FBC Prop Swap Ilva at Lucullian Delights is hosting the successful Food Props on Sunday series. Over 8 weekends she has published tips on crockery, linens, backgrounds with guest posts from “Prop Queens” including Meeta at What’s for Lunch Honey? A round up, “Show [Read on...]
Dinner with Crayons is my regular weekend kid friendly restaurant review. This week though is a rarity. We escaped during our recent holiday on Île de Ré. Today there are no sippy cups, no budgie’s cage mess on the floor and nooooo crayons! This week’s submission to Sticky Fingers‘ Gallery on the theme of “Creatures“ [Read on...]
Whether using canned fish or vacuum packs, healthy mackerel salad recipes are an essential store cupboard standby. An easy Mackerel salad recipe paired with walnuts, beetroot and fresh apple slices. [Read on...]
My submission to The Gallery for the Cybermummy Photo Competition Theme: “Motherhood” Organising birthday parties was probably my main incentive to have a child. Daydreaming over Nigella Lawson books about having a little helper to stir the batter and plead whether they can lick the bowl out yet. Studying complicated animals made out of food in [Read on...]
“Postcard from” is my series of weekend non-recipe posts. Usually these are from places or events but today is unusual, it is from myself to a lot of people I’m about to meet in two weeks’ time. Stones are killing birds left right and centre in this late night weekend post. If I’ve been quiet [Read on...]
Winding back to the Rhubarb Breakfast Muffins, I said I was working my way through several Rachel Allen’s Home Cooking recipes. I made this granola on that same productive muffin morning. Describing cereal as life changing sounds lunacy to me but home made granola was an unexpected revelation. Gathering the ingredients, the scale [Read on...]
Tea, sacred revitaliser of the nation. Putting the kettle on for a cuppa forms no part of my own relaxation, the snap of a diet coke tin or popping of a prosecco cork being more likely. Throw chocolate into the mix however and you’ve got my attention. I realised lately that it was not [Read on...]
“Dinner with Crayons” is my occasional series of weekend kid friendly restaurant and cafe posts. My 3 year old accompanies me to the main UK chains, some independent places and who knows, somewhere more glamorous if we don’t get kicked out. Second time around taking Ted to Mexican chain Wahaca at Canary Wharf. Previously we [Read on...]
Today’s post features as many of the folks at Food Blogger Connect that I have managed to get decent pictures of – namely that their faces are just about showing and they not in the middle of eating some of that yummy food you saw in my previous post. There are also some shots [Read on...]
My iPhoto folders are bulging. My computer is groaning and making tired noises. My camera had so many images on it I swear it felt heavier. Not only did I have all my pictures from 3 days of Food Blogger Connect, there were a week’s worth from my holiday in France too. I must [Read on...]
Ten days’ holiday, three days at Food Blogger Connect and it feels like a life time away from the blog. I will do a more detailed post (or three!) in the next couple of days but in the meantime here are a few pictures to give you a flavour of FBC10 which took place [Read on...]
