Saturday Staples – Stuffed ‘tatoes

November 20, 2010

The 2nd of a short series of mini, single photo posts about food that we eat regularly. Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated. Just everyday food that takes minutes to make and doesn’t need special equipment, scales or unusual ingredients. If I make jacket potatoes, I make an oven full. Not because we are greedy, oh no. […]

Kibble

November 17, 2010

I don’t remember quite how this happened, but a while ago our Twitter friend Marley Terrier told Debora at Licked Spoon that he bet I could even make kibble look delicious. Today I got the perfect opportunity to try and prove the theory when Ernie received a gift through the post. He’d won a prize […]

Saturday Staples – Mars Bar Crispies

November 13, 2010

I thought I’d start a short series of mini, single photo posts about food that we eat regularly. Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated. Just everyday food that takes minutes to make and doesn’t need special equipment or ingredients. These chocolate crispy cakes are a cheap packed lunch standby, or a last minute offering to the School […]

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. […]

Making Whoopie

September 30, 2010

So far I have managed to resist the urge to make Whoopie Pies. Partly, because they are a bit fashionable but also because a lot of the recipes didn’t make sense to me. Then I saw Mowie’s recipe for red velvet Whoopies with orange buttercream. Here are the factors that led to me making them: I’ve […]

Summer Stuff

July 12, 2010

I just realised I’ve not updated the blog for ages. I’ve been busy taking photos for other projects and getting involved with the Carnival. Here are some of the things I have picked, cooked, eaten, witnessed and photographed over the last couple of weeks. The garden is growing at full tilt. Luckily my obsession with Cavalo […]

Bean Tops

June 19, 2010

One of the best bits of growing your own are the little extras that you can’t buy in the shops. Growing broad beans give you a bundle of benefits. In the early evening at the moment the flowers smell gorgeous, it’s like jasmine wafting across the garden. Then there’s broad or fava bean tops. This […]

Cinnamon Buns

June 8, 2010

Check out the bun show It all started with the Kringel that we made for a fresh from the oven challenge. We liked it very much but there was a suggestion that it would be nice with just a bit of icing, …so it was like a big Belgian Bun. This had a couple of […]

Risotto Balls

June 2, 2010

I think I may have to rename our blog. Balls we make? It’s getting out of hand, I realise. I have leftovers, I can’t bear to waste them. I turn them into something spherical, roll them in panko crumbs and fry them. It’s becoming a habit. But hey, I created dinner out of something that […]

Make Granola

May 3, 2010

I have been meaning to make Granola for AGES. Ever since we got addicted to Dorset Cereal Honey Granola, then realised that it costs nearly £4 a box. I finally got round to it last week and have since made a couple more batches to hone the technique. After a shout out on Twitter Apryl from […]

Food Photography Workshop

October 24, 2009

Yesterday I travelled down to London to the Scandinavian Kitchen to a photography workshop run by Chris Windsor and organised by Helen from a Forkful of Spaghetti. Arranging for someone to pick up George from school was the main bit of planning that I had to do, along with charging camera batteries and packing a […]
