Small Batch Granola recipe I am going through one of my spells of not knowing what the hell to eat. I’m all out of sorts; the second lockdown has buggered my new found new normal routines. I’m back to replacing breakfast with a pint of coffee and eating lunch at 3pm. The boys seem to…
Ricotta Doughnuts Recipe I bloody love a doughnut. This could stem from a childhood spent eating the hot ones, freshly fried, from the end of Eastbourne Pier, or could just be because I’m a bit of a pig. What’s not to like about hot, fried dough, sprinkled in sugar? Well, the what’s not to like…
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…
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.

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…
