Until last week I had never set eyes upon fresh cranberries so when I stumbled across bags of them in the shops I was, I admit, more than a little excited. I was also quite puzzled because they didn’t look at all like I was expecting. I imagined cranberries to look a lot like what […]
Let’s face it, being gluten free can be the pits, especially when it comes to bread. I confess that we often fall back on store bought GF bread, which is choc-full of sugar, but I have the best of intentions at being more organised and making it regularly. Problem is I’ve yet to find a […]
Hummus, Houmous, Hommus, hummous, hommos, humos, or hoummos, however you spell it, is delicious and really quite good for you. It’s cheap to make, keeps for quite a while in the fridge and is so versatile. Use as a dip with crackers or carrot sticks, spread on a wrap, use instead of butter on your sandwich, spread some on your […]
I was at a meeting the other day and my friend Isabel brought along some pears poached in rose water. They were divine. I was hoping she would post the recipe so I could share it here and to my delight I’ve just discovered that she has (you will find it here). Whilst eating more than my fair […]
The problem with having a Thermomix (what’s that? problem?). The problem with having a Thermomix is that, as bit by bit you start to make almost everything from scratch, you start to run out of jars and bottles. I will admit that I feel a bit virtuous when I open my fridge and see jars of […]
Got a pesky over-ripe banana hanging about taking up valuable fruit-bowl real estate? Use it to whiz up a batch of these divine Banoffee Puddings. From idea to bowl in less than 30 mins. That’s just long enough to get your PJ’s on and make a cup of tea to go with it. It’s banana, […]
It’s Friday which in some places always equals fish for dinner. This reminded me to hurry up and post my new fish recipe! I did promise a delicious new recipe after my less delightful mince post, so here it is. I’m very keen on Asian flavours, particularly Vietnamese as they use a wealth of fresh herbs […]
There’s not a whole lot I can say about this dish but I wanted to share it as it has become a family regular. It’s quite simple but very tasty, fresh and healthy. I love Vietnamese food. It’s an ‘all-in-one’ meal, one pot wonder. It uses all the different parts of your whizzy machine but […]
I know I should be more organised, but it’s amazing just how often it suddenly hits 5pm and I think “oh no, I’ve got no dinner organised for the kids”. You’d think that dinner wasn’t something that happens at around the same time every day the way it regularly takes me by surprise. So with about […]
A couple of weeks ago we discovered a lovely farmer’s market in Kingston-Upon-Thames. The produce was all quite fresh and a lot cheaper than the supermarkets. I quickly loaded up the bags with fresh fruit, vegetables and some whole trout. By the time I had finished my shopping both punnets of blueberries had been eaten by […]
Because oranges are not the only fruit
