It’s nearly summer *ish* so time for a light and fresh tasting dessert for the whole family to enjoy. What a beautiful marriage, much like Clyde and myself, are Rhubarb and Meringue. One tart and one sweet, the dessert that is, not Clyde and I although that may not be too far from the truth….
It’s turned slightly wintery again so lets bulk up with a delicious, easy chicken supper. As I write, it appears to be November once more. Depressing, depressing, depressing. The forecast for tomorrow is no better and with a Bank Holiday weekend in the offing the sun they are predicting will have disappeared from your weather…
It’s St George’s Day, so let’s at least mark it in some small cake based way. St George’s Day is a day which goes unmarked in most of our calendars. It’s a shame, but it seems to have pro Brexit connotations these days. Whatever your persuasion I feel we should mark our heritage in some…
This week, Lucy has bowed to pressure and is sharing a recipe for her husband’s favourite supper dish. We would eat curry every day in our house if left unattended. It’s a go to meal enjoyed by everyone, even fussy George. I am not talking about authentic curries necessarily, although this Slow Cooker Korma comes close,…
This week, it’s all about a fresh and spring-like hot pud for you and the family to enjoy. Even though it’s warmed up a touch, there’s always time for a hot pudding on your dinner table. Especially one which has a bit of springlike freshness to it. This Passionfruit Saucy Pudding is one of those…
This week, Lucy is sharing a simple, rustic Easter Lamb dish. Perfect if you don’t want to spend the whole of the long weekend in the kitchen. Easter for me says lamb. Back in the day it said turkey, as my Mother would always insist we had a Christmas Day rerun at Easter, however, now,…
This week, I have been experimenting with a new, healthy cooking toy to create these tasty little treats. My lovely friends at VonShef are just too lovely. I was super keen to try their 3.5 litre Air Fryer so they kindly sent me one to play with. I had spotted this fryer in one of…
This recipe is a lovely, tasty dish without any of the stirring nonsense. Sausage Risotto has always been the way to my husband’s heart. He loves it, but my version, made since we first moved in together 100 years ago, is just a bit 1994. This recipe, however, is delicious and right up to date….
This week, Lucy is helping us to get ready for Mother’s Day with a huge tray of fudgy chocolate cake. Ever since I started baking, I have been slightly obsessed by cakes made using vinegar. My obsession came with this particular Chocolate Cake recipe and has gone on ever since. I am always slightly puzzled…
This week, Lucy is celebrating all things sugar free and embracing a greener, less throwaway life style. Have I mentioned I haven given up refined added sugar for Lent? I am sure I have, it’s only been 11 days but it does seem much longer. I am missing large slabs of Galaxy chocolate in particular…
