Meals I have loved
One of my little cousins (well not so little as he’s now 21 and has been towering over me since he was 13) celebrated his 21st birthday this New Years Eve. As my family love to celebrate special occasions by eating lovely food my Aunt and Uncle organised a pre birthday meal after Christmas at Bar and Grill in Harrogate. (Apologies for the late blogging, … Continue reading Bar and Grill Harrogate – Private dining fun
Well ladies and gentlemen, as one of my friends would say, I have been riding the sugar wave today. Aside from the tiffin made in the previous post I have eaten a large amount of treats I bought for trick or treaters that never appeared and cake. Possibly the mostly beautiful and gory Hallowe’en cakes I have ever seen. These babies were made by my … Continue reading Halowe’en baking geniosity (Disclaimer – I did not do the baking)
Stew is like a hug when you drive through some fog home on a dark night (which is incidentally how I spent my 15 minute drive home from the gym after work). Especially when its been in the slow cooker for nearly 12 hours and the meat just breaks apart….. Anyway, I’d say if you’re not altogether confident in your cooking abilities but want to … Continue reading Slow cooked lamb stew
The Buddha Lounge is one of my all time favourite restaurants. Last week we went there to celebrate my mother’s birthday Now I was so wrapped up in eating out and spending time with my family and J that I didn’t actually take any photos (silly me). Rest assured the food is delicious and beautifully presented and the staff cannot do enough for you. I … Continue reading The Buddha Lounge
I suppose I am pretty lucky that Harrogate regularly has a street market which is decent and actually sells things I want to buy (cheese, salami, deli items). Well feeling sad when my boyfriend went home after visiting me I impulse bought a whole load of olives not really considering how big the box is. I’m not even sorry! Continue reading Oops
Sunday tea times were always a special time in my house. I was lucky enough to grow up in a family where we sat down together nearly every night and had home cooked food but Sundays were special. My parents would think up what to cook my brother and I and they would buy lovely meat from the butchers (sadly unappreciated by me during my … Continue reading Steak out…or rather steak in
Deli food is my favourite food to pick at or make a lunch or a picnic tea out of. Sunday afternoon after a busy long morning of cleaning I settled down to eat toasted seeded batch loaf with a selection of Marks and Spencer tapenades topped with parma ham. Blissful in front of a good film after a hard morning’s work. Continue reading Lunch of the week
It would come as no surprise to people who have seen the rate at which I can shovel rice into my mouth, but I love it. In particular I love squidgy, carby risotto. Depending on the ingredients you use you can make it pretty healthy as well as being delicious (as long as you don’t add too much cheese). Personally, I found that once I’d … Continue reading Wild mushroom, smoked garlic and butternut squash risotto
To my followers. I feel like such a fraud, 5 posts in and I’m jetting off on holiday. Due to work commitments I have been coming in late and generally rushing around like a mad lady.Also due to rushing back from work and collapsing in a heap I was eating omlette and soup a couple of nights and I really didn’t think anybody needed a … Continue reading An apology
As a Yorkshire girl at heart and someone lucky enough to live in Harrogate I am literally spoiled for choice when it comes to eating delicious food. As a rule I am not averse to eating food from chain restaurants and actually love some of them (I have something of a Wagamama obsession) it’s always great when you find somewhere local that does delicious food … Continue reading So!
