Today, Lucy is sharing her new found love of Mexican style food with a versatile, slow cooker, beef based supper dish. I don’t want to become a holiday bore, but when we were in Florida we randomly ate some wonderful Mexican-inspired food. I had, in the past, avoided anything wrapped in a tortilla or wedged…
This week, why not treat your dinner party guests to this perfect end of meal dessert. It’s coffee and petit fours all rolled into one. We are in the midst of having our kitchen renovated and I am only weeks away from losing the use of my oven completely. This will be a challenging time,…
This week, Lucy has put together a versatile dish to cheer up young and old alike at the start of a new term. Hooray, we are home after a two week holiday. Boo, due to flight issues we were home 12 hours later than expected. Subsequently I have appalling jet lag and keep nodding off. Plus,…
Today, Lucy is sharing a quick soup recipe. Her spiced version of this classic comfort food is savoury and delicious. My youngest son is a huge fan of Singapore noodles, but only the ones from the supermarket chilled cabinet, he thinks the Chinese restaurant version contain too many alarming vegetables. So I decided to create this Singapore…
This week Lucy is providing us with a fantastic two for one offer on Summer Salads. These dishes will liven up any barbecue lunch or dinner. It’s August, it’s high summer and it’s barbecue central.

This week, Lucy is treating us to a high summer dinner party dessert full of fragrant strawberry flavours. Last week I focused on children’s holiday eating, but that’s enough about them.

This week, we’re celebrating the end of term with a great big batch of this Cookie and Brownie tray bake. Hooray, the end of term is in sight, if your children haven’t finished school already, that is. We are all tired and emotional and ready for a holiday. So, to celebrate, I decided to treat us all…
Whether you are an able barbecuer or not, this week’s wonderful chicken dish is a perfect summer supper. It’s definitely barbecue season and I love it. I am not a huge fan of burnt meat in the garden, as we fondly refer to barbecuing, but what I do love are the smells wafting around the neighbourhood…
This week, with the promise of some warmer weather, Lucy is sharing her show stopping ice cream based dessert. Well this will jinx it, but the forecast for this week actually looks relatively rain-free. So to celebrate, let’s have a frozen dessert to cheer us all up. This Loaded Caramel Ice Cream Cake is the…
This week, Lucy is in a hurry so is sharing her super speedy prawn based supper dish. Speed is the key at the moment with me. I am running hither and thither at all times due to having too much going on and not enough time to do it. When life is like this, meals suffer…
