I paid a second visit to So! a few weeks ago when my friend Jo came to stay. Its fast becoming a favourite of mine as it has tasty food, a chilled out atmosphere, and its reasonably priced. I suggested So! as I knew the quality of food was good and there is a variety of dishes on the menu (naturally, when you want your … Continue reading Another trip to So!
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)
So I don’t know if this is strictly what you’d call tiffin, but I really don’t think there are any hard and fast rules when it comes to crushing up digestives and adding melted chocolate. This is a very easy recipe that, while it’s not the prettiest Hallowe’en treat, will win you many friends when you produce it. Plus there’s only a little bit of … Continue reading So its Hallowe’en tomorrow and you forgot to make treats…..easy tiffin
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
The Damn Yankee is a firm favourite with the people of Harrogate. It is an American and Tex Mex restaurant that offers a range of burgers, steaks and assorted items from the grill as well as Mexican style favourites such as chimichangas and burritos. The menu is pretty cheap, the food is tasty and they do a pretty good range of cocktails which makes them … Continue reading The Damn Yankee
As an aficionado of all sorts of baked goods it’s all to tempting to make (and eat) biscuits and cakes more often than I should. However, I usually reserve baking treats for times when I can share the delights (and the occasional disaster) with others. As my brother shares my passion for all things biscuity I decided to make some shortbread for when he visited … Continue reading 3 – 2 – 1 Shortbread. A simple shortbread story.
