Pannacotta with Rhubarb

March 17, 2016

4

I’ve just bought some new season rhubarb. Young and tender and pink as you like. I love these slender, forced Timperley stems. They are so tender and not at all stringy like the rhubarb my Mum used to grow. It makes me think that Spring is really on the way. It’s a real toss-up as […]

Rhubarb Cocktail

These images remind me that murky mornings, like yesterdays, can turn into glorious afternoons which flow into happy hour and the promise of a Friday evening rhubarb cocktail.

It’s all about the cake

The sun shone yesterday for the annual Spring Fair at George’s School. The children threw sponges, bobbed for apples, bought magic wands and ate cake pops. For the adults tea was served, jewellery was made and spring flowers were on offer. But we all know what the main event is at a school fair. The […]

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

19

I’m a bit of a sucker for trying something that sounds like it can’t possibly work. This ‘frosting’ fell into that category as it starts with a cup of milk and 5 tablespoons of flour…being cooked up in a pan. Now, I’ll grant you, that doesn’t feel like the start of one of the dreamiest toppings. […]

Bluebell Woods

I was asked to tag along on with the school kids yesterday to our local woods. We set off first thing and it looked like we had lucked out with a sunny morning. The children were tasked with writing about the outdoors and finding similes, rhymes and alliteration. Some of them set about the task very […]

Deb from Fabulous Places and I visited Chatsworth House Gardens this week. It was quite a rainy old day but we were lucky and managed to dodge most of the showers. Here is a slide show of some of my photographs:

All Things Green

Here’s an update on the things we have been making this week. As chance would have it all the things we have made have a green theme which is kind of relevant with it being Saint Patrick’s Day today. I had a couple of egg whites to spare so I made my first attempt at […]

This is why recipes need testing. It's a 👎 to the minty choccy chip lolly. It didn't even reach the choc dip stage. Ernie would have a go though. #recipetesting #mintchocchip #popsicle #lollies Just as I test a new lolly recipe the storm clouds gather. Obvs. #popsicle #mintchocchip #lollipops #rain #recipetesting #summer #pah George and the jet engine. #silkmill #derby #rollsroyce #rr #rb211 #industrialmuseum It's like street food, but in the garden 👀 My Chicken Satay and Peanut Dipping Sauce. Search: Centerparcs Satay for the recipe.
