The indulgence of a creamy pasta dish is something I always enjoy, but it generally conflicts with my low wheat, and low dairy diet. So when I fancy creamy oozy carbs, but still want to feel virtuous and dairy/wheat free, I look to the Far East for inspiration. Using nuts (in this case […]
I love kale and I love that it now has its own national day! It sits among other wonderful super ingredients like spinach, carrots and beetroot….perhaps next week, all hail, it’s national Beetroot Day! I can’t see it happening personally, but nevertheless I’m pleased it’s getting some recognition. In honour of the jewel hued cruciferous […]
It’s Saturday, and today I’m feeling like I want to be everyone…the gorgeous wife, slick in the kitchen and whipping up something elegant and stunning, but I also want to be slobbing in front of the tv, and in my joggers eating something yummy that has taken me two minutes to make, and I also […]
Scotland has been in the news a lot the last few weeks, Someone on Twitter made me giggle by commenting that they were getting their fill of Irn Bru and Scotch Eggs before they were moved to the foreign foods aisle. However Scotland are still with us, as part of Great Britain and subsequently I […]
It sounds primitive, but I just love meat with the bone in! Slow roasted, grilled or BBQ’d, the additional flavour that you get from a bone more than justifies the additional cooking time or additional care needed. I am the diner that nibbles on a rib (a beef one if possible) with wild abandon, […]
I love the news of the arrival of any baby, but this weeks news of a second heir to the British throne is extra fun. It’s a national event, media furore and fuels office tea making chat…what will the name be, which buggy (buggies!) will it have, what will Kate wear throughout her pregnancy, etc […]
It’s a common misconception that risotto needs the addition of cream to be creamy, or cheese to add richness. It needs neither, the creaminess come from picking the right rice (carnaroli is my favourite) and stirring and stirring, slowly releasing the starch from the grains; cheese serves mainly as a seasoning, adding depth of flavour […]
Wow, in the UK, and I’m sure all over the developed world baby and toddler food is a big business! Purees vs baby led weaning, pouches of fruit and yogurt, special recipes to ‘hide’ vegetables and smother tastes in something sweet (think a popular child food chef, and her fish in orange juice recipe…interesting eh?). […]
It’s September, leaves start turning golden, thoughts turn to the start of school, new pencils, uniforms bought too big, and inevitably also lunch box options, that your kids will eat and the school won’t feel the need to police for fear of you sending them in with a Tupperware full of hydrogenated fats and as […]
