Potatoes! Hello all! Spring is on the way! The weather is getting ‘slightly’ warmer and colour is popping up all over the garden and green areas! That said, apparently it will be 3c here tonight, so comforting foods are definitely still on the menu! If you are feeling a little indecisive about what to cook at this in-between time of…
Saturday 25th January! Hello! I am well aware it is only Wednesday, but this is your advance notice to get prepared for the weekend! With the cold, wet and dreary weather, and having passed the alleged most depressing day of the year (Blue Monday), what better thing to do than to plan a fabulous weekend special meal! Make a list,…
Warming foods! This week has been all about soups, slow cooker meals and hot comforting food! I am still loving my vegetable box delivery and this week, when I saw loads of red peppers and several aubergines, I knew I had to make a new dolma recipe.

Kurdish Kifta! I know people say us Brits always talk about the weather, but you know it’s been sudden torrential rain daily for a couple of weeks now… in my area!

That said, the garden is loving it, and I’m sure the allotment is…
Crisp, fresh, full of flavour – with a little sweet surprise! This recipe was created when the weather was a bit sunnier! That said, there’s no reason why the weather should really make a difference to this dish! Rather than have it as a main, you could use it as one of many sides – especially if you’re trying to…
Simple ideas, better choices. This week has been non-stop. You know the kind – full of coordinating, planning, sorting things for everyone else… and hardly a second for yourself. So heading into yet another bank holiday (which probably means the sunshine will vanish again!), I’ve decided it’s time to slow down, breathe, and find joy in the little things –…
Easy one-pot meal As the colder weather makes a re-appearance here in the UK, there’s nothing better than something warm and comforting to tuck into.
