This week, Lucy is thinking ahead and getting some Christmas baking done and dusted before all the fun starts. I am starting to obsess over Christmas food and it’s only the first week of December. I don’t have a single mince pie or sausage roll in the freezer and this may start to keep me…
This week, Lucy is sharing this rib sticking, winter warming dish, perfect for family or for entertaining. I know, I know, we should be eating some salad and keeping the carbs down to a dull roar in the run up to Christmas. But, I am now of the opinion, for me at least, it’s too…
This week, Lucy is sharing a collaborative seasonal bake to celebrate Thanksgiving with our friends across the Pond. This Thursday sees Americans celebrating Thanksgiving. This holiday, sadly, doesn’t extend to the UK, as I could definitely do with an extra day off this week to get ahead of the forthcoming festivities. Sunday sees the youngest…
This week, Lucy is revisiting one of her favourite eras to create a sophisticated, comforting dish perfect for the family or entertaining. When I was growing up my mother owned an extensive collection of Cordon Bleu Cookery School magazines. I think they were a collection of publications which built up into a series covering all…
This week, Lucy has been browsing the cookery section of the Sheen Book Shop and recreated this soft and tasty seasonal bake. I feel I am quite late to the Ottolenghi party. I used to be scared of his recipes and found them to have a lengthy list of ingredients most of which I didn’t…
This week it’s time to pull on your bobble hat, throw a log on the fire and make this wonderful spiced fruit and meat based curry. If you are a regular reader, and I really hope you are, or I will feel extremely stupid rambling away to myself week after week, you will be aware…
This week, in preparation for Halloween, Lucy is making a spooky treat and pretending it’s for the children, but eating it all herself. It’s going to be a busy week, it’s half term and it’s the run up to Halloween. Both these things equal me being out of pocket. Trick or Treating is off the…
This week Lucy is treating us to chicken tray bake with some seasonal roasted vegetables and just a hint of spice. A constant in my life is what can I do with chicken thighs. Thighs are by far my favourite chicken to eat, full of flavour, super crispy skin and always a really good price….
This week, Lucy is sharing a comforting, autumnal pud, cooked under the grill in a cast iron pan, freeing up your oven for extra roast potatoes on a Sunday. Autumn Sundays are made for a crumble. Actually I could eat crumble any day of the week, but it seems most appropriate on a Sunday after…
This week, Lucy is reviving a warming Ango-Indian vintage dish, ripe for a delicious resurgence. The nights are drawing in blah blah blah. They are but there’s no need for me to bang on about it, as life is depressing enough as it is. The summer barely rocked up and now it’s over, so let’s…
