I'm going to let you into a secret - There's a place I know. Its rather perfect. Don't tell everyone - They'll all want to go. If you're thinking of setting out on an autumn picnic over the half term - you may want to think about ...
Monkfish Linguini – Foodie Friday
I'll never forget the first time we had Monkfish. We had not long bought our first house and we were starting on our cooking journey - I'd just about mastered a chilli and Sweet n Sour, but wanted to experiment with fish. Someone had told ...
Green Thai Chicken Curry Recipe
We don't have traditional Saturday nights - We area back too late from Synchro trainings and have to be up at 6am on Sundays. It often means that come Sunday nights, we need something really simple and quick. I'm a bit of a one for a ...
Double Chocolate Oat Cookies

Lemon and Lime Sandwich Biscuits
Award winning I tell you! Well, almost - I came second at our WI Craft Night. These biscuits were a miracle that they came to exist at all. I needed to be there by 6.30 but only got home at 5.15 ... and still managed to make them, decorate ...
No-Cheese Smoked Haddock Omelette
I first started getting concerned with what eggs I used when I was at the peak of Aardvark Cakes' wedding season. It wasn't unusual to use 70+ eggs. I just couldn't bring myself to use eggs from caged hens although they were significantly ...
