I love reading almost as much as I love eating….almost. So what could be better then a book with food things in! Pear Shaped by Stella Newman is a great read.

Veggie Curry Soup
I just love to make soups during the chilly UK winters. They are forgiving, versatile & tasty. They use up what you have at the time and freeze well. Nutritious, packed full of goodness, do you get the idea I love soup! Here was a quick soup I made the other night. It’s got a … Continue reading

Ginger Spice Cupcakes
We all love the delicious wintery smell & taste of ginger in our house. So I thought I’d have a bash at making a light gingery cupcake. So easy to make and they taste scrummy. I used vanilla buttercream but for a double whammy you could add some ground ginger or decorate with stem ginger. … Continue reading
Citrus Polenta Crunchies
These are a biscuit with a real crunch. Using polenta adds a grainy texture & I think it works really well with the citrus flavours. Easy peasy to make and doesn’t take long at all. Strangely they are much nicer when they are cold and not warm out the oven as I usually like biscuits! … Continue reading
