Did you ever have one of those days where you started off with the greatest of intentions, and planned out what you were going to bake, only to oversleep and have to do it all in a rush? Well, that was my Saturday. It was my own fault, I went out clubbing and we got …

I expect I will regret this but…
...there's been a few things in the media this week that have really touched some nerves, and I'd better get it out there before I explode. I'm going to make a pot of tea first, because frankly, that's only proper. Of course, to satisfy the fat haters out there, I would have to make it …
Home made digestive biscuits
I am a great fan of digestive biscuits. I always have been, especially with a nice chunk of cheese to accompany them. I will admit to dunking them in tea as well, but not when they have cheese on them of course. That would just be a waste of cheese. And tea. Neither of which …
There is such a thing as beauty in commercial design.
And this is it. I love these designs, and the others across the range, so much, that I just sent an email to the company who came up with them for Morrisons. Yes, I know, I’m a sad old art student but they are so good. People who buy the value ranges shouldn’t be …

Mediaeval Mince Pies
Seven years ago, I decided to have a go at making 'real' mincemeat. I saw it on a TV show and thought oooh yes. I love fruit and meat together so why not? I also detest most shop bought mincemeat so I thought making my own would make sense. Thanks to a lovely lady called …
For Cambridge people who are veggie/have allergies
This is a heads up on where NOT to eat, from a friend of mine who, sadly, did and regretted it. This is a very poor show, and certainly not what Customer Service is meant to be about! Allergies are not something to be laughed at, people don’t have them for fun. Would they have …

East London Steak Company saves Christmas
Well, okay, Christmas wasn’t in danger of being banned or anything, but I certainly had a lack of The Christmas Feeling. Having a husband with Norovirus will do that, certainly to him! You see, we had a wonderful thing lurking in our fridge. It had arrived on the Tuesday and I was very excited to …
Spiced Apple Gammon
Part of my usual cooking repertoire is ham, or gammon. As we are lucky enough to have a very good local butcher, I get it from them, and I usually buy an unsmoked slipper joint. I liked smoked, to be honest, but the general House consensus is that it can be too salty so I …
Lorraine Pascale’s Pain d’Epis
I have a confession to make. I cannot make bread. Anything to do with yeast based cookery seems to fox me completely, and I just don’t have that ‘touch’ that some people appear to. It tastes okay, but whenever I make bread it always seems very heavy and dense. I don’t mind it, not really, …
Greek Homestyle Pork or Hirino Spithkasimo
Now, before I start, I will say for the record that there is one sure fire way to annoy me good and proper, and that is to be a TV food show presenter who doesn't even attempt to say a Greek name but just takes the piss, even though the French and the Spanish …
