Risotto! Hello! I hope you’ve all had a fabulous week and any pets or small children were kept safe from all those loud bangs and whistles that have been part of Bonfire Night. This week we’re going savoury! You may know that rice is something I only tend to eat if I cook myself and as there’s only me to…
Pumpkin! Another busy week for me but finally I am getting somewhere! I’m so organised this week, I managed to create not one but two new pumpkin recipes for you! Both recipes can be created with any type of pumpkin or squash. Choose your favourite colour – yellow, red, green, orange, white or something in between! I used a green…
This week, as the weather has turned decidedly autumnal and the days grow noticeably shorter, there’s been a lot of tea drinking! Of course, if you’re in the UK, you’ll know there’s nothing quite like curling up with a hot cup of tea and a plate of biscuits. With The Great British Bake Off diving into Biscuit Week, it’s the…

If you’re asking for hummus in some…

There are a hundred and one things I should be doing, but it would appear only a couple were actioned! Therefore, rather than miss a post, I am leaving you with this delicious bundt cake!

Classic Street Snack. The last few weeks in the UK have been hot and sunny, reminding me not only of my younger days (yes, we used to have weather like that then) but also of the time I lived in Turkey. Whilst I did live there in all seasons, the summer seemed to stretch on for months, and you could…
Super shakes! Last week, I (unintentionally) went with a friend to a different café, and to my surprise, they had a range of vegan milkshakes on the menu.
