Coconut Muesli

Tea with Alec and a Hot Cross Bun

Can You Flip It?
After this little incident happened, I thought best not to try. 3 second rule? I’m not entirely sure the world needs another pancake recipe, but hey ho, got to enter into the spirit and all. So here is a little … Continue reading
Squashed Apple Soup

Alarm Clocks, Cheese and Wine
I had a surge of guilt and panic over the tedious nature of my Christmas present for James. It was a pretty snazzy digital radio alarm clock, but I worried it might seem a little naggy (i.e a ‘wake up, … Continue reading

Lamb Shank with Braised Red Cabbage
My main concern when cooking for a bunch of friends (other than taste) is that I don’t actually have to do much cooking once they’ve arrived. This lamb shank casserole ticks the boxes on that front. You put it in … Continue reading

On the Bank Holiday Monday we went for a good old walk through Regent’s Park and up to Primrose Hill with Molly, Jason and their tiny dachshund puppy Wolf. This culminated in a lovely bloody mary fuelled lunch at the … Continue reading
Meat Liquor
This is a post of a slightly different nature to the norm, I’m still reeling from the delicious burger I had last night and feel a strong urge to share the experience. For those who haven’t already read the hype … Continue reading
