Now this post is inspired by my massive hankering for banana cake all last week. Not helped by the fact that my lovely friend who writes House of Herby had posted a recipe in December that I keep going to gawk at. In addition, it wasn’t in the least bit helped by the recipe The Londoner posted that I also keep going to ogle at. … Continue reading Banana and nutella muffins
So, you’ve probably realised from my recent blog posts that I’m pretty into cooking my vegetables and salads at the moment. What can I say? It’s so much nicer outside that I want to make the most of it and not feel too heavy in my summer clothes. Now this salad had me sitting at work musing over ingredients and what to put into the … Continue reading Roasted butternut squash, cous cous and goats cheese salad
Now, I really can hardly call this a recipe. It took all of 5 minutes to make, but it tasted pretty lovely. This fig and parma ham salad is really quick and easy to make and looks simply beautiful. It would be great as a light lunch served with some crusty bread or as a starter for an evening meal; particularly if you want to … Continue reading Fig and parma ham salad – an easy way to impress
So after what can only be described as a few weeks of gluttony, I decided to clean up my act food wise. Nothing too over the top, just a few vegetable filled meals to get me back on the right track. Thankfully, I actually love vegetables and decided to see this as a bit of a challenge. I also made friends with a greengrocer, but … Continue reading Stuffed marrow – with turkey, spinach and sweet potato stuffing
As mentioned previously, J and I visited Warsaw Poland earlier this month. We ate in some completely lovely restaurants including a more traditional Polish restaurant where we ended up eating on the first and last night, a communist themed restaurant and a sushi restaurant (we felt the need for something lighter one day). The food in general is really tasty, I particularly fell in love … Continue reading Warsaw – the Food

First of all, I know apart from the odd post this is first and foremost a food blog. Sometimes I like to share (what I consider) humorous stories that go with the food, but mostly I blinking love talking about how much I enjoy food. Well this is not a time to discuss all the wonderful Polish food I have eaten. J and I had … Continue reading Warsaw – Poland
Now I was lucky enough to be taken to Warsaw in Poland this week by my wonderful boyfriend J. I have plenty to tell you about my trip but while I sort out my photos I thought I’d share this recipe with you. Now this recipe makes fruit taste absolutely wonderful – even those watery strawberries you sometimes buy when they’re not quite in season. … Continue reading Strawberry, raspberry and apple crumble aka mixed fruit crumble
So I think I have already professed my love of a decent tuna steak? Well I was feeling pretty fancy the other day and decided to make a Nicoise style salad with tuna steak and hard boiled egg. As a bit of a background information on me and my family; Monday night is the night when my family used to have salad for tea and … Continue reading Tuna steak Nicoise style salad
So I had a few more food adventures than usual lately. I dutifully took pictures of everything for your entertainment. I hope you enjoy looking at the food nearly as much as I (and assorted others) enjoyed eating the food. As part of my birthday presents J is taking me for a little holiday, so hopefully the next picture based food blog post will be … Continue reading Food Gawking part 2 – Birthday style
