This Cod with Chorizo and Chimichurri is the sort of dish I dream about. When I get recipe ideas in my head I get slightly obsessed and start to bore myself thinking about how it will work. I knew what I wanted to be included in this delicious one pot dish, but felt it was…
Challah Bread Recipe I’ve always loved Challah bread never really knowing it was a such an iconic Jewish loaf. When Clyde and I first moved in together, before such times when carbs were deemed unfashionable, we pretty much lived on bread, and I would always treat us to a loaf of Challah which was randomly…
Apple and Blackberry Snow Recipe I am in the minority of people who loved their school meals. I have hugely fond memories of chicken in white sauce, an odd goulash with macaroni and rice pudding. I had a particular penchant for stewed apple and custard, so when the nights draw in I get quite the…
And just like that, the summer holidays are over and my house is quieter. Ben’s gone back to uni, George is, so far, throwing himself into sixth form life and my fridge is taking slightly less of a daily battering. I’m feeling a little flat, as I always do when normality resumes, so I thought…
Peach Cobbler Recipe When it comes to summer fruits, I am a bit fussy. I don’t like furry fruits unless they’re cooked. Raspberries, gooseberries, blackberries, peaches, they’re all just a bit too fuzzy for my liking. But cook them, now that’s a different story.

It’s Autumn, it’s official. I know that because I am wearing a brand new polo neck jumper which I’ve been desperate to put on for the last month. It’s barely dropped below 20 degrees, however, and it’s on and I doubt if it’ll come off again until June 2020. It’s that week of the year…
I’m back. Did you miss me? It’s only been a couple of weeks but I’ve had my feet in the pool and my face in the sun and it’s been bloody lovely. I have been spending time researching whilst in Greece, and by researching I mean eating fried cheese and drinking litres of rosé. Greek…
The summer holidays are here. For most that is, my boys have been at home getting under my feet for the last month, at least. The school holidays mean long lie ins, no Sunday night uniform washing and a lot, and I mean, a lot of meals. The only time there is food in the…
I hadn’t planned to post this recipe today, but the speed at which these Shortbread Jammies were devoured by my friends and family led me to believe I should share them with you asap. I had something much more wholemeal planned for you this week, but, balls to that, what could be more irresistible than…
Let’s face it it’s nearly time for the summer holidays and inspiration and inclination are both crushingly low. I have two large men children, not including Clyde, under my feet and my kitchen resembles a local café. Both of them are lying in bed so long in the morning, breakfast is a distant memory with…
