Wow! These are so addictive. I know I say it quite regularly but these could be one of my most favourite Bakes of the Week yet. When I finally get to go on the Great British Bake Off (I can live with it being on Channel 4 and quite frankly ...
Vegetarian
Sprout & Chestnut Soup
I'd love to have photographed this soup in dazzling sunshine with clear bright backdrops but that's not the type of soup it is. Its a stick to your ribs, warm & comforting soup that uses up a whole bag of sprouts - and yes, I've still ...
Maple Buttery Carrots
A super easy recipe for you this evening - I love experimenting with veg dishes and this is one of our favourites - Maple Buttery Carrots with Hazelnuts. The cuteness factor increases by using Chantenay Carrots but obviously how ever you ...

Picnic Spicy Herby Potatoes
I've never been a massive fan of the sandwich - I find that the kids get bored so quickly with various flavour (especially as they take packed lunches to school too), the bread or wraps so soggy so soon and don't get me started on sandy ...
