Having shared a brownie recipe before, I wasn’t sure whether I should share another. But these Easter inspired brownies came out so well, that I couldn’t not. I made these this week for a charity bake sale at work. Using my classic basic recipe, that I use to make all of my brownies, I added…
Pasta dishes, and Italian cuisine in general, are one of my favourite foods. I’ve tried my hand at making my own pasta, and cooking up a variety of fresh and packet pasta throughout the seasons. Whether it’s a spicy tomato ragu or a light lemon and olive oil dressing, pasta can be so versatile and…
I made this for lunch a couple of weekend’s ago, after finding the recipe whilst browsing Pinterest. It was so tasty that I had to share it. It’s a super easy dish to make, and is a great vegetarian alternative to a chicken shawarma. The addition of avocado, iceberg lettuce and cucumber, keeps it fresh….
When Durham Gin got in touch, offering me a bottle of their classic gin, it’s safe to say, I didn’t need asking twice. If you’ve been a follower of mine for a while, you’ll knot that a G&T is my go-to tipple. However, Durham Gin asked if I wanted to create a cocktail recipe, and…
I’ve never been a huge egg mayo fan. It would never have been my choice of sandwich. However, a colleague had a homemade egg sandwich for lunch last week, and it looked delicious. I’d never thought about making egg mayonnaise myself before. So the following weekend, I bought half a dozen free range eggs, Hellman’s…
It might look like a long list of ingredients but this tasty sweet potato, chickpea and lentil curry is super easy to make! Whilst spices can be expensive, they’re a fantastic investment. If you’re into cooking already, or are enthusiastic to start broadening your recipes, you will need spices… And they most definitely won’t sit in…
Is there anything better than coming home to the smell of freshly baked banana bread filling the kitchen? I absolutely love to make a banana loaf, not least because they’re super quick and easy to make, but because they smell and taste so good. Whenever we have bananas browning in our fruit bowl, I instantly…
Gin is always my go to spirit, whether I’m out with friends or enjoying a drink at home, I love to whip up a gin & tonic with my favourite garnish. When winter rolls around, I continue with my gin favourites, but mix them up a little with different tonics and garnishes. This particular winter…

I made this delicious fish pie off the cuff last week, after browsing my Instagram feed and spotting a photo of a fish pie, that a colleague had made at work. Fish pie happens to be one of Stew’s favourite meals, and yet I’ve never made one before! I’ve always thought that a fish pie…
A risotto isn’t something I often make, largely due to the fact that I’ve always thought it takes forever to make, painstakingly stirring for hours on end. However, I was surprised and thrilled to find this quick and simple leek and pea risotto recipe on HelloFresh. From start to finish, this risotto was made in 30…
