Pikelets recipe I have been meaning to make crumpets for years. I have been put off, however, by a friend who once told me they got into such a mess with the dough sticking to the rings, I just couldn’t face it. However, whilst searching for some sort of Scottish griddle cake to make for…
Being at home with my family for 9 and a bit months has been a learning curve. Not always a good curve, but a learning one. Things I have learned are a) wow 3 men and a dog eat a lot b) 5 meals a day is a thing when you’re a 22 year old…
Panettone Pain Perdu recipe This week I’m truly embracing Christmas. For me, Panettone and the festive season are the best of friends and I love, love, love it. We are so lucky to have the wonderful Gelatorino on our doorstep who sell the most beautiful Panettone, literally 5 minutes from our house. Theirs is made…
Mincemeat recipe I am struggling with the whole Christmas thing this year, and I doubt I’m alone. This year has been so hideous, I just can’t focus on the season with all my usual gusto. That said, we’ve put up some festive lights outside the house, I’ve made my Christmas cake and now, I’ve made…

Quick Spiced Lamb Flatbreads recipe Since I discovered the amazing dough involved in making these Two Ingredient Bagels I have been toying with the idea of using them to fashion some sort of delicious main course. It’s so simple, quick and well, doughy, I felt sure they’d make brilliant savoury flatbreads. In true Lucy Loves…
Nutella Fridge Porridge Recipe Breakfast and I have got a bit of previous. I am woeful at eating anything before about 11am, so quite often bypass the most important meal of the day completely. I love a bowl of granola, but often have that for lunch, more due to laziness than any diet fad. Fridge…
One Pot Chicken with Orzo and Parmesan recipe Some weeks I’m very organised and know what we’re eating, what I’m cooking for the blog and what everyone’s meant to be doing in a really quite impressive way. And some weeks I don’t. This lack of organisation led me to create this One Pot Chicken with…
