What do you do when you’re supposed to blog about food but can’t cook? Answer: go nuts doing crafts…

So this weekend was supposed to be a nice chill out weekend with my boyfriend doing Christmas things and making some form of baked good to blog about while he worked Saturday night.  Well that plan fell through due to a sickness bug that left me exhausted.

I need a wok! Sticky ginger and lime seafood

When is an omelette a frittata?

My boyfriend (J) said it was the presence of potatoes, a work friend said it was the egg to ingredient ratio and the chef boyfriend of my housemate said that frittata was served at room temperature while omelette was hot.

Tales of the last venison steak in the shop

From my previous Sunday night food post about beef steak you know I am a lover of lean meat and steak in general. Well somehow today what started out as a hankering to make a duck salad after watching Jamie Oliver ended up in me gleefully skipping down the Harrogate high street with the last venison steak in M&S. The thing is I got more … Continue reading Tales of the last venison steak in the shop
