So you may have noticed I have been a bit quieter than usual. There were several factors leading to this (I changed jobs, D and I went to Italy and we were both in shows in the space of about 5 weeks). More on all of the above later. Anyway, I have a lot of posts planned for the next couple of weeks and for … Continue reading 10 things
You might have noticed there are more posts at the moment but a lower percentage are food posts. I feel like I actually post the same number of food posts over all but I was missing writing more often, but last time I was writing every day or 2 about food I ended up at least 2 stones heavier, so be prepared for more home … Continue reading My love of kitsch
So last week I discussed my initial thoughts on Hello Fresh so I thought I would give a final run down. I was a tiny bit irked last week that the box this week came with 3 cans of food. Not that I have an aversion to canned goods – its a cheaper way of eating fruit and vegetables in some cases. I think it … Continue reading Hello Fresh week 2
I felt like given that it is around the time when a lot of my younger audiences are contemplating moving to a new university town and some of you might be in that horrible place between graduating and finding a job. Whether you find yourself moving to a town 10 miles up the road, or to the other side of the globe, relocating somewhere new … Continue reading An ode to moving to a new place
I supposed this post goes slightly hand in hand with the fact that it was my birthday yesterday. Perhaps I have become a slightly more “adultier” adult? Anyway, as D was already pretty well installed into our home when I moved in, but we’re slowly making updates to little things in the decor (next stop is a new bed for us, whoopee!) Here is a … Continue reading A little homeware update
I’ve said before how much I love a good community event and I’ll say it again for the purposes of this post. If you happen to be in or around Bristol between 29 April and 06 May you should check out the Food Connections Festival. Based around College Green, Anchor and Millennium Square; and with events going on all across the city there is something … Continue reading Something for the weekend – Food Connections, Bristol
Look at these beautiful photos my friend Mrs E took when we went to the BBC Good Food Show last week. I kindly got given free tickets this year and we really made the most of our visit; starting early and taking in a number of interviews and demonstrations in the Supertheatre. I certainly recommend getting at the show earlier; we managed to get round … Continue reading BBC Spring Good Food Show 2016
This is definitely a recipe of procrastination. I saw a picture on instagram of a meatball based pasta bake and resolved to make my own. This is a little faffy and requires a bit of early preparation but them end result looks pretty cool and this is definitely one of those you want to keep in reserve if you have to cook for somebody you’d … Continue reading Pasta bake with sage and feta meatballs
As I write this post I have the first line of Parklife going round my head. I’ve just eating a bowl of ice cream and I’m curled up on the sofa with a hot water bottle with cramps. Such is life. I’m not one of those people who gets inundated with people asking how I get so confident; but I’m also not one of those … Continue reading Confidence
Some things in life just go wonderfully together, avocado and salt, cheese and bread etc. One of my favourite flavour combinations of them all is chocolate and raspberry. The raspberry topping of these cakes is cool and creamy, without being overwhelmingly sour or sickly sweet. Plus, the pink icing is very beautiful and required absolutely no food colouring. This recipe is another simple way of … Continue reading Chocolate cupcakes with raspberry mascarpone icing
