Churros Bites with White Chocolate & Hazelnuts
Impossible to eat only one, I tell you! I much prefer smaller Churros to long thin ones - They are so much more convenient to eat. These are quite delicious on their own, simply rolled in sugar but for extra wow, try them dipped first in ...
Salmon with Herby, Spicy Vegetables
I'm feeling a bit under the weather today - Nothing serious, just an annoying cough and achey. The sort of day that reminds you that you really shouldn't eat cake for your lunch EVERY day! Whenever I feel a bit inside out, I always search ...
Caramel & Pecan Fudge
I try every year to come up with an alternative for giving an egg at Easter. Fudge is incredibly versatile - you can just serve it up on a plate or gift wrap and show a little more thought. This is a crumbly type of fudge that I've made ...
Mushroom & Nut Filo Parcels
There's just some short cuts in life that are too good to miss. Using bought Filo pastry is definitely one of them. I'd love to say I always make my own pastry but life really is too short when it comes to Filo. I first tried these ...
Frozen Inspired Food – Marshmallow Olafs
It was a very exciting day for my children yesterday. Violet has never been the same since we took her to see the movie, Frozen just after Christmas. She has lived and breathed that film. Like a lot of children, she knows every word of ...
Vegetarian Chickpea and Lentil Curry
I've never thought of myself as a real meat-eater but every year 2 days come along that test me in meal preparation. They are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. I was always brought up not to eat meat on those days and have memories of Mum ...
Cinnamon Sugar & Pecan Popcorn
I've been meddling with the popcorn again. Last time, the event was New Year, this time it is the return of the Great British Sewing Bee. Very unusually, both my sisters and me were round at our Mum's for a child free evening (if you count ...
The Ultimate Yorkshire Pudding Recipe
There's one meal that I can guarantee my 3 girls will devour in silence - A Sunday Dinner/Sunday Roast (whatever you call it they still eat it!) Whether we go out to eat on a Sunday (not very often) or cook a meal here (not that often ...
Chicken Leftovers Casserole with Herby Dumplings
When Sainsbury's challenged me to come up with a recipe using leftovers, I knew straight away one that I would chose. Me, Derm & Tara love this dish - M & V pretend they hate it by taking it for a walk around their plate/bowl - ...
