On Friday, a neighbour called round in the evening with a big box for us. I hadn’t ordered anything so was a bit puzzled until I saw Kelly Bronze Turkeys on the side. Ooh. As a thank you for visiting the farm, Paul Kelly had gifted all of us bloggers with one of their fabulous …

A mini Christmas, all of my own.
It’s been a bit of a whirlwind of job applications and agency interviews recently, so much so that my brain has been distinctly frazzled when it comes to cooking, churning out the same old thing because it’s easy. My usuals are okay, but every so often I need a change. I was on my way …
Just dropping by…

Nigel’s Lazy Loaf
This is, yet again, a Nigel Slater recipe. Yes, I have a soft spot for this particular TV cook (he insists he is a cook, not a chef) and pretty much everything of his that I have tried, works. I know he cannot lay claim to soda bread, because that has existed for many years …
Inspector Montalbano; enabler.

Every time I watch an episode, he is somewhere eating either caponata, fresh fish or spaghetti. Last night it was spaghetti con vongole, and spaghetti with …
Cake and Ice cream.
It’s a winner isn’t it? The idea of a good, rich cake, its gooeyness cut by tangy ice cream? Heaven to me. It’s like eating hot Christmas pudding with cold, cold cream. (My mum’s light Christmas pudding though, no other.) This week, my husband has been working stupid hours. Such long hours, in fact, that …
La Porte des Indes–Masterclass
Warning: picture heavy post! I have a love affair with Indian food. I grew up in a multicultural part of London, and almost all of my friends were Indian, but from very different areas, and so I grew up eating the most wonderful foods. Amazing Gujarati vegetable dishes, zingy Punjabi stews and keema with peas, …
Leftovers are What You Make of Them
A night in on my own, and my thoughts usually turn to what I can cook for my dinner. I knew I had a lot of things to use up, so I tried to think of something to do with those. I had found a celery heart that was looking a bit sorry for itself, …
Baking Challenge with Tesco Real Food
I was recently invited to attend a baking event, courtesy of Tesco Real Food, via my esteemed chum, Kavita of Kavey Eats. The baking event took place alongside Tesco’s Real Food Baking Challenge, so have a go at that! “Our Real Food Baking Challenge is running for six weeks until 21st October. We're asking customers …
