I know I said I was going to be very prompt and get my Forever Nigella posts up on 1st of the month and 3.5 weeks later I fail to achieve this. But you see a few things have been going on… [Read on...]

This isn’t the first time I’ve spent part of New Year’s Eve writing a blog post (I loathe going out on New Year’s Eve) but I’m going to make sure I am swifter than the previous occasion. I have promised my husband I will be downstairs to join him no later than 10pm so [Read on...] 
Please go and visit Dom at Belleau Kitchen who will be hosting this month’s Forever Nigella, the theme of which is “Salad Days.” And make sure you check up on Mardi’s Forever Nigella 4 round up due to be posted this weekend at Eat Live Travel Write. [Read on...] 
Not an anniversary, not a birthday, just a badly needed opportunity to recharge batteries and stand back from everything for a while. My husband and I jumped on the Eurostar to Paris whilst my mother “borrowed” Ted for three days at home. [Read on...] 
There’s a Q&A meme going around lots of mummy blogs right now and I’ve been tagged by Confessions of a Single Mum. My normal attitude to memes is that there’s already enough meme thank you very much on my blog and you don’t need any more but these questions were based on ones in [Read on...] Today I’m not up to cooking so it’s just waffle. And before you get excited about waffles, actually it’s just dodgy looking cake pops. Service has been stalled this week as I sit drinking shot glasses of throat spray and popping ibuprofen by the clock. It’s not all been bad, I’ve caught up with [Read on...] Cupcake Crumbs is my end of the month round up of bits and pieces that haven’t made it into posts of their own. But they’re no less delicious for it. You frequently hear food bloggers, myself included, despairing of the terrible light for food photographs at this time of year. If only I had a [Read on...] Marber’s books advocate sensible eating plans that re-educate you to eat healthily and prevent weight gain. No seaweed milkshakes here. [Read on...] Stollen Bloody Stollen. This monster has sat on my worktop for the past FORTNIGHT [Read on...] We were never under illusions that this was a fancy kitchen; the oven is the smallest cheapest built in model possible, the cupboards poorly planned and space wasted. [Read on...] After receiving applications from “thousands” of people, around 30-40 had been asked to bring in actual food. By being interviewed by phone I’d already skipped over about 3 stages of the process. [Read on...] Welcome to Maison Cupcake’s new home over at Wordpress. We’ve exchanged contracts, completed and the removal men have gone home. The new site has been up a couple of days but I was away on a jolly to Dublin at the weekend and it’s only now I have chance to unpack the last few boxes and rearrange stuff the way I like it. [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...] …the decade when I became a wife, a home owner and a mother. I hadn’t planned on posting until next week but have been busy reading everyone else’s round ups. Although I started this blog in July, it wasn’t until around September that it started to take shape and look like a proper food [Read on...] You know that feeling you get after having taken some exams and you get home and don’t know what to do with yourself? I feel a bit like that this afternoon. My house is suitably de-cluttered after this morning’s yard sale and I am not pressurising myself to make any more cake this weekend. [Read on...] I’m conscious I haven’t posted yet this month. I have chosen Donna Hay’s Modern Classics: Book 2 for this month’s Bake Five challenge and attempted creme patissière at the end of last week. It was not a success and I intend to have another go and describe the original debacle when I post on the hopefully, improved [Read on...] Ok so I might get in trouble for this. I don’t have copyright for this photograph obviously but I really want to share it as it inspired me to start making CAKE. Flicking through my regular copy of Elle magazine a glossy little insert for Spanish jewellery chain Tous fell out with “Kylie’s Party” [Read on...] |
