Overnight Oatcakes

August 18, 2013

I've been eating oatcakes all my life. It's only recently that I started to make my own.

Orange & Elderflower Liqueur

June 26, 2013

Sometimes you just have to try things.

Steak and Chips

June 10, 2013

Pinterest and Me

May 10, 2013

I'm pretty sure most of you probably know about Pinterest, spend a lot of time on Pinterest, heck...probably arrived here by Pinterest. Most of our readers find us that way.

Onion Bhajis

April 22, 2013

Next time I'm making these homemade onion bhajis, I'll invite you all round so we can share out the calories.

Sausage Casserole

April 7, 2013

I'm sure that you all already know how to make a sausage casserole...maybe some of you buy a sausage casserole mix from the supermarket. Who am I to judge?

Gypsy Gammon

March 21, 2013

You don't need to cook this over a fire at the side of the road; but don't let me stop you.

Doing a plank

March 18, 2013

"An antipasti plank you say? I've got a big piece of oak. How big do you want it?"

Corn Tortillas

March 15, 2013

Preparing corn tortillas is a family affair, George is particularly good at shaping and pressing them, whilst I do the griddling. Ed is usually on chopping and beer opening detail.
