Challah loaf
When I was a child, like a lot of children born in the 70s and 80s, I was a big fan of books by Judy Blume. I recall reading her semi-autobiography “Starring Sally J Freedman as Herself” with vivid interest. The book document the life of a Jewish family in Post War America and as such they mention various foods that as a 10 year … Continue reading Challah loaf
Date and apple flapjacks
Flapjacks are one of the easiest and most versatile things you can bake. They are also delicious, the addition of the dates and apples was almost a stroke of genius on my part (check out my modesty). While I wouldn’t exactly say adding a bit of fruit to the mix makes this a healthy recipe, you could argue that it makes it healthier which is … Continue reading Date and apple flapjacks

As you know I do blog a lot of naughty treats on here but in actual fact I eat salad or soup for my lunch every day.

This soup recipe is a dream when you’re starving hungry. While the chicken and red peppers offer various nutritional benefits and the chicken stock acts as a bit of a pick me up, the gnocchi provides the filling stodge that we all sometimes crave. In addition, this is an excellent way of using up leftover roast chicken. This perfect sort of food for an unexpected … Continue reading Chicken, roast red pepper and gnocchi soup
Tomato stuffed peppers
I adore roast peppers. I think the flavour goes wonderfully with most things – chicken, fish, shellfish and lamb all go wonderfully with this particular recipe. You could even use it as part of a Tapas or summer barbeque type meal. This recipe is based on something I cooked at school from a Delia Smith book. However, as said book is actually one of my … Continue reading Tomato stuffed peppers
BBC Good Food Show Harrogate
Last weekend Miss B and I visited the BBC Good Food Show when it came to Harrogate for the first time. Judging by the hoards of people in attendance it was a roaring success. We sampled more than our fair share of the various spirits available and walked around the Harrogate International Centre in a bit of a dreamy haze until we sorted ourselves out … Continue reading BBC Good Food Show Harrogate
Caramel slices (Millionaire’s Shortbread)
I’m yet to find anybody who dislikes these beauties. There’s something pretty wonderful about homemade caramel slices that is even more decadent than the shop bought versions. Each step of making these is really straightforward but it is time consuming waiting for the caramel to cool – you really can’t add the chocolate layer while the caramel is too hot or it ruins the chocolate. … Continue reading Caramel slices (Millionaire’s Shortbread)
One pan goats cheese and bacon pasta
I think once you can cook a few one pot meals eating midweek becomes so much easier. This pasta dish is hearty and healthy. The chicken stock actually makes this dish super comforting – perfect for a wet day. I think the best type of comfort food always contains chicken stock. To make your own 1 pan pasta you will need (per portion): 3/4 a … Continue reading One pan goats cheese and bacon pasta
