The WW Foodie

Despite just having the one fast day last week, my body appears to have taken it upon itself to drop a chunk of weight.  I'm 4.2 lbs dow...

We had a wonderful few days away at the start of this month, heading up to explore a little corner of Northumberland.  It's not a part o...

I wrote this post yesterday and scheduled it to magically appear today. Or, at least, I thought that I did. The fact that it has not appeare...

For such a simple recipe, this looks bloody long when it's written out. Sorry. But if you like mussels, and pasta, and all good things, ...

For the first time in a while, we managed to complete two full fast days last week and, as a result, the scales have started to veer downwar...

Back in the days when D and I were young(ish) we used to turn to the Michelin guide a lot when picking restaurant destinations. I’ve always...

We are just back from a lovely few days away in Northumberland (hence the lack of meal planning post last week).  I say just back - we actua...

Parkin is a glorious bake which appears to be particular to the North of the country, where it is a Bonfire Night staple. I first encountere...

As meal planning posts go, this is likely to be a short one owing to the fact that we are having an unusual week - one with social activity....

It appears to be one of the depressing truths about getting older that time is permanently getting away from you.  I am sure that when I was...

Full disclosure - last week was not so much 5:2 as 6:1.  Although since we (and by we I mean D) cracked fairly late in the day on Thursday, ...

I'm fasting today, and it is making me rather grumpy so forgive me if I don't dwell too long on this post.  Thinking about food migh...

Not quite sure what happened there but I appear to have blinked and found myself in October. When I sat down to write this, I tried to fig...

Great cooking is, in my opinion, an art form – possibly unique in the fact that to be truly great it has to work across nearly all of our se...

Hurrah for the weekend!  Especially hurrah for this coming weekend which will see D and I head for the beautiful Lake District to celebrate ...

Well, posting every day didn't work out so well but at least I've managed more posts in September than in August.  I will mutter som...

Just seven days in and I've already failed in the entirely arbitrary challenge to blog every day in September.  The truth is, I'm ab...

Blogging every day is going to be tough if I have many more days like today which consisted of hours of travelling on rattling tin can train...

During my drive to blog every day in September, Mondays should be the easiest because I can just stick in a quick meal planning post and be ...

I'm a bit late to the party on this one, since I believe most tinternetters with an interest in bread baking discovered (and raved about...

A slight departure from the usual Foodie Fare and probably not of interest to many.  But, you are more likely to have a dicky gallbladder if...

I think that I have said on here before that the beginning of September is almost as exciting a fresh start for me as that of January.  The ...

Apologies in advance if things go slightly quiet for the next week or two. I had my pesky gallbladder removed yesterday and, although all we...

Well, we haven't done a that was the week that was post for a while, which means that the blog has been lacking in cute cat pictures, wh...

We're trying to get back into the habit of Sunday brunch because it is a very lovely habit to have.  The main issue that I have with Sun...
