Simple Bread and Butter Pudding

January 20, 2014

I toyed with adding any number of random things to sex up this recipe, but this is how I remember it, so this is how it stays.

French Toast PB & J

June 26, 2013

Sometimes you just have to try things.

Have you had enough of cake pops yet? I think I have. But I decided to share these anyway. I know how you like it when baking goes bad. I had good intentions. I decided to make them for a New Years Eve party and I thought I could make good use of a McVities […]

Spring Promises and Hollandaise

May 11, 2011

When spring comes around I promise that we will change our wintery, comfort eating ways. We will eat fresh produce, lots of vegetables and salads and cut down on the carbs. With this in mind I bought some barnsley chops of spring lamb and the first British asparagus of the season. I also replenished our […]

Crazy Frosting

April 3, 2011

I’m a bit of a sucker for trying something that sounds like it can’t possibly work.

Brandy Butter

December 23, 2010

Saturday Staples – Crispy Chicken

November 27, 2010

Crispy Chicken get’s eaten in our house more regularly than anything else because it is a child friendly quick tea. I would feel bad about that if I bought it from the supermarket ready done. I don’t feel so guilty about this homemade version though because it’s low-fat and I can choose the quality of […]

Cookies #2

November 10, 2010

The cookies I wrote about back in 2009 seem so old fashioned and innocent now. Meet my new favourites: Choc and Peanut Chip, it’s taken us to a whole new level of cookie-ness. These ones started their lives when Deb and David brought us a serious stash of goodies back from their trip to America. […]
