If I had to describe Arancini, I'd say they are Fried Risotto Balls. I have to admit when I saw what they were, I did think was it worth the effort - Risotto is one of my most favourite meals and I couldn't see that by frying it in ...

Celebration Popcorn
I'm having the most perfect New Year's Eve tonight. We went to the Pantomime at the Liverpool Empire earlier with the girls, been for a delicious Italian meal at Il Forno in Liverpool, had drinks at our friends for a few hours afterwards ...
Turkey, Chestnut, Bacon & Prosecco Oven-Baked Risotto
Well doesn't this recipe just scream LEFTOVERS?? And you would be right, My sister arrived yesterday with a turkey bought from Tesco - It should have been £32 but was reduced to £4.95. She obviously couldn't leave it there for that price? ...
Lemon & Amaretto Trifle – Custard Free
Can I tell you a secret? I don't like custard. Earth shattering isn't it? Well it is if you like trifle - which I do. My Grandma always used to make a Christmas Trifle and Derm's Mum always makes one every Christmas Eve. I get awful ...
White Chocolate & Raisin Fudge – Edible Homemade Gifts

Loaded Potato Skins
A dish that I can pretty much guarantee that all 3 girls and OH will demolish is the good old Loaded Potato Skin. I remember at one of our Bonfire Night street parties a couple of years ago, my friend, Kate bringing the most delicious ...
Sweet Potato, Lentil and Chilli Soup
Its a sad day in the Costello house. Where there should be a delicious Chocolate Orange cake as part of the Clandestine Cakealong, we have 'Not Well Soup'. I do admit I'm feeling better now but cakes definitely weren't on the agenda last ...
Key Lime Cheesecake Pie – Great Bloggers Bake Off
I will admit to nearly chickening out of my second week of baking along with the Great Bloggers Bake Off. Pies make me tremble - I am in awe of the perfection of pastry. I do admit though that there is nothing like the satisfaction of ...
Homemade Orange Curd Recipe
We've had a few weeks break from the Cake-a-long but its back raring to go! It seems that with every cake I've made from the Clandestine Cake Collection, I've learnt a new skill and developed a new addiction. This time it is a delicious ...
