Fluffy Pancakes & Coconut Cream

February 16, 2021

Occasionally I can’t resist the look of something I’ve spotted on Insta and have to try and re-create it myself. These impossibly deep and fluffy pancakes are a case in point, so I made them for a Shrove Tuesday feature for CenterParcs. I decided to share them today ‘cos they so pretty! The batter is […]

Quick Green Curry

November 11, 2020

Viewers, please do not adjust your sets. Not only is this a post from me, it’s also vegan. Both of these things may come as a shock. I was asked to create a recipe for Vegan Month last year, and as November has amazingly come around again I thought I’d share it here because it’s […]

Peach and Blueberry Hand Pies

January 28, 2019

'Hand Pies' because you can eat them with your hands. They could also could be named down-in-one pies.

Pannacotta with Rhubarb

March 17, 2016

Hunter’s Chicken & Wedges

September 17, 2015

Oven-baked chicken with tangy, barbecue sauce, crisp bacon and melty cheese all mopped up with potato wedges. I spoil you, really I do.

Pretzel Dogs

June 20, 2015

The first of a new series of monthly posts for the Center Parcs Blog: Pretzel Dogs with Beer Cheese Dip.

Lemon Loaf Cake

May 25, 2015

Sometimes you just need a no-nonsense cake. One for the weekend, obligingly providing slices of dense, butteriness with every cup of tea. One for when friends are calling in and you want to offer sustenance, but nothing too fussy. One to wrap in foil and take on a camping trip or to stuff into a rucksack for a walk on […]
