Last week I used shop bought puff pastry for the first time… Ever! Can you believe that? I don’t know why it’s taken me this long to use. I used to think that buying pre-made pastry was blasphemy but I’ve since realised that puff pastry is incredibly hard to make yourself and I am silly…
Normally at the weekend either Stew or I will plan a nice breakfast or brunch for us to enjoy on Saturday morning. It’s the only day of the week where we have the time to make something a little more fancy than our usual dish of cereal and fruit. However this weekend just gone,…
About 18 months ago, when I first moved to London and picked up a copy of Time Out magazine, I spotted a rather tasty look mac n cheese street food stall called Anna Mae’s. Unfortunately at the time I seemed to miss out on every opportunity to sample some of their delicious dishes around London,…
After getting back from Poland the other week, I was finally reunited with Stew after he also returned from watching the Euros in France. I wanted to have a special evening, so I decided to make a lovely dinner for the both of us. I spent most of the afternoon hunting around for a recipe….
This tasty five bean chilli will have you coming back for more time and again. Not only is this dish packed full of flavour, but it’s also rich in health benefits. Beans and grains (we used brown rice) have many positives to enrich a balanced diet. Plus they keep you feeling fuller for longer. Now…
So last Thursday we had one of those tricky days where we had minimal ingredients in the house, but knew we were going away for the weekend, so didn’t want too buy anything that would go off. We had a number of random things leftover in the fridge – sour cream, broccoli, kale and cherry…
How amazing does this dish look? Stew rustled this stew up for me last week… Ha! Stew stew. We’re big fans of Mexican food but don’t eat it as much as we’d like. I’m not really sure why, perhaps because it takes a little longer to make normally. But it’s always super tasty and can…
Last weekend Stew had been out for the day, so I decide to rustle us up something for dinner. We had a couple of sweet potatoes left over and a bag of spinach that was on it’s way out. I hopped online to get some inspiration of a recipe I could hopefully make, including both…
Stew and I attempted our very first tagine last week. We found a recipe on Good Housekeeping for a roast cauliflower tagine and made a couple of adjustments to make it our own. Essentially it was fairly easy to make, but it did take a little while. This was mainly down to the fact we…
There is nothing more simple than making a soup. I grew up thinking Heinz tins of soup were the only option, until I moved out and my friend introduced me to a hand blender! This simple gadget is a lifesaver in the kitchen. I now regularly make my own houmous, smoothies, juices and soups. I…
I have some exciting news for you all today… I have created a recipe post for Wayfair, a home decor site, selling all things home and garden! I have been enjoying making dishes for a little while now, with Tuesday’s being my regular recipe feature day. So it means a lot to me to be…
