I first became aware of the concept of brining meat for a short period when I saw Nigella, wearing some sort of silky dressing gown if I rem...

12 June was eleven years to the day when D and I got engaged.  I've just looked back to see if I blogged it, but it turns out that I sta...

This poor old blog has been a little bit neglected of late so I have started doing a little bit of tidying up and sorting out and updating. ...

It's been an up and down few weeks since I last posted.  In reality, very little has changed.  Our household (me, D, the cat) remain muc...

Lots and lots of food writers are doing sterling work at the moment across all of social media, making loads of recipes and cook-alongs and ...

So you remember how in my last post I gave you a recipe for a pineapple cake?  Today we find out what happened to the other half of the pine...

I make no apologies for publishing something so unashamedly retro because it is, without a shadow of a doubt, exceedingly good cake. I'v...

We can't eat out at the moment but fortunately some restaurants are making it possible to eat out at home.  That sentence makes NO SENSE...

Greetings from what feels like day 10,367 of lockdown.  Here in the UK, we are supposed to be in phase 2 or level 3 or something but since I...

We continue to adjust to life in lockdown.  It’s not the staying indoors that bothers me at all – I am, by nature, a hibernator and quite...

In these straitened times, and probably beyond, people are going to have to start shopping in a different way and those of us who have been ...

Well, first full week of working from home completed. At the moment, I have set up shop on the dining room table while D is up in the study....

So I’ve been thinking about it and I’ve decided that I’ve had enough of all the ridiculousness going on at the moment. Anyone else fancy a r...

I can't believe that we woke up to snow this morning!  It's a shame I have to go out and earn a living because I could quite favour ...

It is Sunday night and a storm is raging outside. It has been raging all day - a proper storm, all howling wind and lashing rain. I have not...

Last night, I discovered the beautiful thing that is aligot. If you haven’t come across this before, it’s basically a cross between mash and...

I know I still need to put the recipe for Christmas pudding cheesecake up but that is at home and I am not. I am currently in Edinburgh, wai...

I didn’t take a single photo of the food that we ate over Christmas - which, for those of you who know my (startling lack of) talent for foo...

We continue to eat our way through the freezer which has kept food bills low this month and been proving extremely delicious. Well, I say fo...

We got five new recipe books for Christmas which added to an already huge collection. All too often, much wanted books come into the house, ...

The first meal plan of the new year, nay, the decade! How exciting.  The month of January has two themes. The first is: our chest freezer...

Towards the end of last year I was pondering the future of this blog. When I first started, I had a vague USP - or at least an SP, as it w...

Greetings Earthlings! The year is disappearing so fast and it has been the quietest ever on my little blog so my end of year report is likel...

Oooh I haven’t done a meal planning post in ever so long which is a shame because we’ve cooked some fantabulous dinners in the last few week...
