Salt and Pepper Squid recipe I am fed up with our lockdown weekly takeaway. It’s all well and good not cooking for one night, but the arguing over which food choice is getting so dull, I can’t face the drama. So, this week I treated us to a seafood delivery from The Fish Society. Amongst…
As the government is easing the lockdown, more shops are opening on Monday 15th of June. We walked down the high street and mapped all the shops opening for you – find the list below. If you’re a local business planning to open soon but not on this list, let us know and we will…
Biscoff Crumble Slice Recipe I can mark the measure of a good Lucy Loves recipe in two ways a) the speed with which aforementioned item disappears from our kitchen and b) when I’m writing up the post, I start to salivate and have to get up and rebake that item. I am happy to confirm…

Cheese Scones Recipe This Friday marks the 75th Anniversary of VE Day. We love an excuse to eat an afternoon tea or picnic style spread in our house so we will be joining my sister and her family, in a socially distant way, for a VE Day celebration. Cheese Scones are such a wonderful traditional,…
Salted Caramel Cupcakes Recipe Cupcakes are brilliant. They’re easy, a mouthful of deliciousness and if you can get hold of the flour, quick to make. If you’ve got youngsters back to home schooling this week, these Salted Caramel Cupcakes would make a great lesson in baking. And after the lesson, you will benefit from 12…
Quick Coconut Prawn Curry Recipe Three weeks in and I’m losing the will to cook. Forking up endless meals for 3 hungry men is wearing. In our previous incarnation, pre lockdown, Clyde would eat with fussy George and Ben would be at uni, whilst I would eat whatever was left. But not now, in this…
