Christmas Tree Brownies
2020 is the year to put up your fairy lights obscenely early and cook yourself whatever you bloody well fancy. I fancy Chocolate Brownies.
Chocolate Orange Pudding
December 22, 2018
A chocolate Orange alternative to Christmas Pudding that cooks in 6 minutes not 6 hours!
Christmas Snacks
December 20, 2018
At Christmas I feel altogether better about life if I have warm mince pies and assorted savoury snacks on offer.
Gingerbread
December 21, 2014
This old fashioned Gingerbread tastes more delicious than the simple recipe has any right to. Sometimes the old ones are the best.
Mulled Cider
December 27, 2013
If you say to your guests "Would you like a glass of Mulled Cider?" they will invariably say "Yes, that would be lovely."
Christmas Red Cabbage
December 22, 2012
A Christmas side dish that you can prepare in advance and will keep your hob free for gravy making.
Clementine Madeleines
December 6, 2012
These are a nice alternative to a mince pie. They give you that 'chocolate orange vibe' without having to tap-it-and-unwrap-it.

This year I plan to hang baubles....from everything. *heads off to buy more*
George’s Homework: “My Christmas”

Christmas Cards
December 20, 2011
Last year Lucy Sheeran drew our house. This year she made it Christmassy. She added trees, stars, robins and a Christmas tree…plus that doggy in the window. Of course…I had to search the county for a wreath big enough to match the one on the drawing. I can’t convince Ed to string lights around the roof […]
Wreath 2011
December 13, 2011
Last year my efforts to make Christmas festive were a bit lacklustre as I documented in my post: ‘List for Christmas Future.’ I am working my way through my self improvements and so far I think I am doing pretty well for 2011. One of the things on my list involved making, or improving on a bought, […]
Brandy Christmas Pudding Pops
December 9, 2011
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 […]
Let’s Make Christmas (Pudding)
November 14, 2011
I am heading down (or is it up?) to London on Friday for the ‘Let’s Make Christmas’ Blogger Gift Swap at Fortnum and Mason arranged by Vanessa Kimbell. Each year my Mum used to take me Christmas shopping in London on the train. We finished the day at the theatre watching something like West Side […]
Pickle Post
October 25, 2011
So we’ve ridden the chutney wave and come out the other side. This year we are on a chutney break as we still have some of our own creations left and a few from family members and friends to work through. But late in the season we ended up with a couple of mini gluts. […]
Ed’s Sausage Rolls
January 23, 2011
A food post? By me? Surely some mistake? It’s all true, I did indeed make the sausage rolls in the pictures. They were the product of a happy accident that grew out of the usual christmas fridge surplus, coupled with me having time on my hands. Add to that my closet weakness for savoury […]
