sweet home sweet

Making a gingerbread house has always been lurking somewhere on my Christmas list of things to make. I’ve literally never got around to it before now which was all thanks to Biscuiteers who supplied me with this gorgeous gingerbread house kit. It was as if they read my mind! I took my first trip to…

sticky goodness

This month’s edible treat is up on Aspiring Kennedy. I’ve been making British classics with a twist, partly because I just can’t leave things as they are and partly because in general I’m not a big fan of British cuisine hence the twist. I can hear your gasps and I’m sorry but in general it’s…

a nod to the british seaside

Here’s some hearty grub for this blanket inducing weather. Every one knows Britain for it’s fish and chips by the sea and whilst great every now and again, I’ve created a healthier version with much less grease but no less flavour. This meal is so satisfying and quinoa is a great source of protein. I…

dipped berry & pistachio shortbread

Hello Lovely Drawer readers! This is far prettier than what I’ve been looking at most of the day. I had a pile of banking to get sorted for The Lovely Drawer…two months worth to be precise. I will try and not use busyness as an excuse again as I never want to have to do…

sugar fix

Donuts! I haven’t met many people that don’t like them. My husband is in fact the only one I know which inevitably means more for me so no tears shed there. I basically needed an excuse to try out my unused donut pan and these seemed like a brilliant idea. Now I don’t advise these for…

match made in heaven

You certainly don’t have to be whizz in the kitchen to pull these bad boys off, instead the flavour combination does all the talking! We had a brie and walnut pizza in Belgium (authentic, I know) and it was so delicious that I felt inspired to do something along the same lines. You can find…

little mini

A bit slow off the mark but here’s my next guest recipe post over at the lovely Aspiring Kennedy. This time you can have a go at making mini cheesecakes because desserts look so much more appealing in miniature. Or is that just me? Find the full recipe here and there isn’t even any baking…

From right to left… *December was kicked off with a cute and edible blogging social organised by my pal Aspiring Kennedy and held at Biscuiteers in Notting Hill.

hug in a bowl

Nothing spells out winter quite like a whopping, great, big bowl of soup. I usually make big vats of vegetable soup during the hibernation months, to take to work for lunch or I whip it out as a speedy dinner (only if Nick isn’t around as he insists that it doesn’t count as dinner). Much…
