Stuffed marrow – with turkey, spinach and sweet potato stuffing
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
Warsaw – the Food
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

Warsaw – Poland
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
Strawberry, raspberry and apple crumble aka mixed fruit crumble
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
Tuna steak Nicoise style salad
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

Jakes – Harrogate
As mentioned in my previous posts I had my friends AW and RC to stay last weekend. At the time when they arrived at midday on Saturday, J was still at my house. So, having no bread in my house and 4 very hungry people to feed, I suggested a lunchtime visit to Jakes. Now Jakes is really near where I live and I have … Continue reading Jakes – Harrogate
Strawberry and blueberry blondies
Now blondies aren’t quite as well known as brownies but they are equally delicious. Despite being made with white chocolate which is much much sweeter than dark or milk chocolate these blondies are actually not quite as sweet as normal brownies. I don’t know why but I have been experimenting a lot with fruit in cake lately, probably because the weather has improved. If you … Continue reading Strawberry and blueberry blondies
