I am feeling slightly bereft as we speak. We are a man down at home as George has gone on a GCSE Drama trip to New York *lucky lucky boy* and Ben has just gone back to uni having popped home for the weekend to eat, drink and go out on the lash. So, it’s…
A batch of these would make a most delicious Valentine’s treat. This year, for the first time in 33 years, Clyde and I have decided not to bother buying Valentine’s cards. We have never gone down the flowers or dinner out path, but we have always exchanged cards. But this year, we have finally come…
Welcome in Chinese New Year with this super quick dish. This week sees the start of Chinese New Year. And it’s the Year of the Pig, which is appropriate given my huge passion for food. I missed out on being born in the Year of the Pig by one year, which is ironic given Pigs…

This week, with so much football on, let’s console ourselves with a delicious TV dinner. I seem to have a pizza recipe for all occasions. I love my White No Knead Pizza when time is tight and sometimes only an over stuffed Stromboli will do. So when I found this Deep Pan Pepperoni Pizza recipe, I almost didn’t…
When inspiration and energy is low, this simple yet elegant pasta dish should be at the top of your list. February seems to be really dragging it’s heels. I thought this week was the last week in Feb but no, there’s still another half a week of darkness after this one. The thought of it…
This week, it’s back to the 80’s with Lucy, as she recreates this frozen classic from yesteryear. You all know by now, or at least I hope you do as this means you actually read my weekly ramblings rather than just cutting to the recipes, I love the 80’s. You should also know, if you have…
