“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 [...] 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 [...] 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.

It might be a trick, but if it’s not, ummmm, boy. I don’t know if any of you remember Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey. It was a 90s phenomenon – books, greeting cards, etc. I [...] What dessert, for you, is the ultimate comfort dessert? You know, the kind of dessert that’s not necessarily elegant and may not be art on a plate, but is homey and just makes you feel happy when you eat it. For me it’s either a fruit pie or fruit crumble, which if you think about [...] Have you ever gotten to the point where you don’t think you have the capacity either physically or mentally to take on one more thing? I was pretty much at that point a few weeks ago. Work, kids, life… ack! But but but but… we now have about a month to slow down and just [...] First off today I want to tell you about this great “allotment meal” we had the other night. Artichokes, beets, and lamb & mint burgers to make up the protein component. Ok, we don’t raise sheep on our allotment (that’s not allowed although apparently there was once a guy who tried keeping a goat there), but the veg [...] |
