It’s Pancake Day / Shrove Tuesday here in the UK which means it’s the last day before Lent. Here in our office Jodie is giving up chocolate and Cathy is giving up bread. I’ve already given up my entire being to incubate the Meatballs so I’ve been let off the hook this year. But now [...]

Chocolate pie, is there anything better? Creamy chocolate pie that is rich enough to melt in your mouth but not so much so that it makes you feel sick. I think we’ve managed this balance with this pie recipe. Making a pie for someone you love and adore on Valentine’s Day is a highly appropriate [...]

Welcome!
Today I have a GREAT recipe for one of the best ways to baste your Turkey this year.

Well, I can officially say that it’s started.
If you DO NOT like preparing for Christmas in advance in order to save time, money and have a GREAT DEAL OF FUN ALONG THE WAY then this is not the website for you, I’m afraid. It’s important to me to avoid wastage wherever I can and over the next [...]

I remember reading about how Nigella Lawson would go to a restaurant, try a dish and then take the menu home so that she could recreate it herself. I’m not sure if this was true but if it was then in true Nigella [...]

It’s Tuesday, so I’m in the kitchen!!
Recipe for Iced Vanilla Easter Cookies
I was up early this morning and in the kitchen. I had some bunnies that needed icing and as decorative icing is not my strongest of points I figured that I needed time (and extra bunnies) to practice on. We can’t all be master icers [...]
