On the Decadence of Toffee

“Do you do Banoffee Pie?” That simple question from a client set the whole thing off.

Of COURSE we do Banoffee Pie – we’re caterers and (more importantly) food lovers. That’s our job. What I had never done however was make my own toffee. Gooey, rich, creamy, completely decandent toffee – also [...]

On a Princess Cake for a Princess

Another year has passed and the girl has just had another birthday. Where exactly does the time go? I know people say that all the time but I’m really feeling it at the moment. Seriously. I distinctly remember writing this post about her pink & sparkly birthday cake, and here I am again with another birthday [...]

On a Tale of Two Tarts

Hello world, it’s been a while.

What can I say? Life has been busy to the power of 10. I have been cooking – a LOT – but having the time to set up & take photos and even begin to think about writing has been a non-existent luxury. So I’ve had to attempt to [...]

On a Lemon Curd Mousse Experiment

I have always said that science isn’t really my thing. In school and then university I liked history, humanities, social sciences, and quite liked math(s) even, but oh no, not science. I did one year of physics in high school which I think is more than enough torture for your average human. Biology – I did that [...]

On Things Not Going According to Plan

A few months ago, just as the great freeze was beginning, I attended a fabulous bloggers’ lunch in London with some new friends and not quite so new friends (I’m still a neophyte in this blogging world so it’s a bit early to consider fellow bloggers “old friends”). There were Meeta and Jamie (who had come [...]

On the Treasure Chest Birthday Cake

The boy turned 8 on the weekend. Eight. Not 7 any more, and 6 seems like it was decades ago. He’s definitely no longer a baby, or a toddler, or a little boy even. Nope, he’s 8, which is really just thisclose to 10. Scary. I always have mummy moments around my kids’ birthdays – [...]

On a Self Assembly Mexican Meal

We had wraps for dinner last night. I realise this may not sound very interesting or exotic, and we’re not talking elegant or haute cuisine here. But as a crowd pleasing family meal they’re great. These also aren’t your average “a bit of chicken and some lettuce” wraps. These are make your own wraps that suit vegans [...]

On Pesto

A bowl full of green

My family loves pesto pasta. Or to put it more elegantly, linguini al pesto or penne rigate al pesto… It just sounds better in Italian. But when we’re talking about a quick, easy family meal it’s just “pesto pasta”. Everyone can understand that term and in my house it [...]

On Asparagus and Risotto

Well, asparagus season is finally here. I almost feel that there should have been some sort of national celebration or at least a large festival to mark the event, but that does not seem to have happened. Oh well… But my own personal excitement about it reached fever pitch on the weekend because I knew the [...]

On the Best Way of Roasting Chicken

Looking at my most recent posts, someone who didn’t know me would think that all we eat in my house are bread and chocolate! Well, that would be a fairly pleasant world to live in every so often, but somehow I don’t think our bodies would thank us. I have been doing a lot of baking [...]
