There are times when you find a restaurant so nice that you just want to take it home with you. ADA is such a place. We were staying in Bexhill, and just wanted something light to eat one evening so we ventured in to ADA. My mum lives in Turkish Cyprus, and I will admit …

Apple Crisps.
I found myself with a surfeit of apples today. Some were nice and fresh, some going a wee bit soft but all needed eating. After a bit of Googling, I decided to make oven-dried apples as it seemed the easiest thing to do. I had Discoveries, Cox’s and Golden Delicious to use up. Slice all …
Quick Sunday Dinner.
The ridiculous heat this weekend (seriously, 31ºC in Essex? Really?) has sapped my creative energy for cooking. I keep looking at the lovely ingredients in the shops and my brain appears to have short circuited. Where usually it is teeming with recipe ideas, this weekend it has been sluggish to the point of comatose. All …
Team Food Are Go!
You know when you have those throwaway conversations that happen at dinner, and people run with it? That. When Jackie Lee and I were guests at the fabulous Danny Kingston’s supper club, we had a conversation about having a team of foodies, with matching leather wrist bands (or something) who you could call on in …
Ricotta and Feta Stuffed Peppers
You know how it is when you see a vegetable so nice and juicy looking that you simply have to buy it and take it home? Even though you know you don’t really have it worked into your meal plan? Well, that happens to me an awful lot. Going to my local farm shop is …
No churn lemon curd ice cream.
This is all Kavey’s fault. No, really, it is. If she hadn’t run her Bloggers Scream for Ice-cream then this would never have come to my attention. I always read, because I like ice cream on occasion, but it has to be creamy, and definitely with NO ICE CRYSTALS. I don’t own an ice cream …
Slow Cooker Barbecue Brisket
I blame Adam Richman from Man Vs. Food. Oh and then Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. It’s all their fault. If they hadn’t featured brisket on their shows, SO MANY times, then I wouldn’t have an obsession with trying to cook the perfect one. They have also made No 1 Husband lust …
Hush Brasserie, Holborn.
A spur of the moment dinner decision this week, when my friend Liese was visiting from Athens, led us to a very good meal indeed. I work in Holborn, and used to go past French Kitchen every day and think how nice it looked. This is probably more due to a slight girl-crush on Rachel …
A Jersey holiday Competition! And yummy butter!
When is butter not butter? When it’s Jersey Black Butter, that’s when. A few weeks ago, after spotting a Tweet asking if anyone wanted to try Jersey Black Butter (OMGYESPLEASEMEEEE!) I was sent a jar of this lovely stuff. I’ll let Rachael, the lady who sent me the jar, explain it for me. “I’m working …

A Mango Masterclass at Suda Thai, Covent Garden.
My lovely friend Kavey gets invited to a fair few things and, I’m very happy to say, sometimes I get to go along too! Recently we were lucky to be able to attend a Mango Masterclass at Suda Thai, a chic – but not too chi-chi – restaurant in Slingsby Place, just off St Martin’s …
