Easter Eggs (salted caramel)

Sourdough Pizza
Four months ago I did a step by step feature for the lovely Jamie Magazine on how to make sourdough. This left me with a brilliant little starter dough which has fuelled an obsession with all things bread related. Here’s … Continue reading
A Touch of SE1 in the Massif Central
The Auberge de Chassignolles Unravelling the spiderweb of SE1’s food mafia has been quite a slow process for me, akin to a small child learning to piece together a jigsaw puzzle, the final piece only slotted in on a recent … Continue reading

Membrillo
Now this is a great thing to make on a gloomy rainy autumn Saturday – you need a couple of quinces, some sugar and a good dose of patience. You also want to be doing something else while you’re making … Continue reading
Battle of the Burgers
I almost forgot that I pretty much started this year waxing lyrical about the Meat Liquor burger, I had plans to keep ranting about burgers up and down the country, but so far I think I’ve only managed about three … Continue reading

Cucumbers!

Elderflower Cupcakes
It’s been a busy old month of weddings and hen parties. This recipe here is from the latest of the hen parties – hence the pinkness and some slightly unsavoury confetti littering the table. There aren’t a huge amount of … Continue reading
Stuff the Rain, I’m making Ice Cream
If the weather won’t prove that it’s summer, I’ll just have to trick myself into believing it is and somehow achieve that nice warm summery glow. So first stop to this trickery was to make some ice cream, then to … Continue reading
Get It While It’s Hot
With only a couple of weeks left of the Asparagus season you don’t want to miss out on the delicious freshness of the home grown stuff. Go to a greengrocer where it’s likely to be fresher than the supermarket and … Continue reading
I can’t believe it’s BUTTER
I didn’t ever think that I’d come back from a music festival waxing lyrical about how ridiculously easy it is to make butter, but guess what…I’m going to… Did you know how ridiculously easy it is to make butter? Ridiculously … Continue reading

Wild Garlic Pesto
While I’m on the subject of wild garlic, this is a brilliant way to keep some beyond its season and is great for a quick and easy pasta dish or stirring through a casserole to pep it up a bit. … Continue reading
Wild Garlic BBQ Buns
The blog has been a bit of a stranger to me recently as James and I have been riding a wave of excitement post us getting ENGAGED. Our friends have been hugely generous and supportive and any liquid in our … Continue reading
Skordalia and Home Grown Purple Sprouting Broccoli
It turns out that the garden did not miss me at all while I was on holiday, in fact, I’d say it positively thrived. I guess things just want to grow and they go for it, which certainly makes my … Continue reading

Samphire, Glorious Glorious Samphire
If you’re cooking a bit of fish there are few accompaniments that are as good as some delicious Samphire. It’s super easy to cook, tastes of the sea and only takes minutes. You really don’t have to do anything to … Continue reading
Smoked Springbok and Garden Fumblings

Chocolatey Breakfast Bites
There is no doubt that these aren’t a patch on Pain au Chocolat, but if you have some scraps of puff pastry hanging around they’re a pretty pleasing use of it. I had some left over from making a pie, … Continue reading

Pulled Pork Buns
The Americans know how to BBQ. I’ve heard it said and tasted it before, but to see it in action is a sight to behold. To use an American expression, they ‘kick our butts at grilling’. We have the wonderful … Continue reading

Sowing Seeds
Embarrassingly, since my last ‘gardening’ post there has been very little action. However, over a month later (honestly speaking, it’s been 2 months), I finally found myself urged to plant some seedlings. The thing that swayed me mentally was getting into … Continue reading
