There’s probably nothing I love more than the combination of some form of crispy potato with a perfectly cooked fried egg. Perhaps it’s a throwback from childhood when egg and chips was a ‘treat’ meal. READ MORE

I absolutely adore the combination of sweet and savoury. Pineapple on my pizza, chutney in my toasted sandwiches, and even chocolate covering my pretzels, and here, mango and raisins in my coronation chicken. READ MORE
It’s batter week on The Great British Bake Off but I’ll be honest and tell you I just couldn’t be bothered to give you a batter based recipe. My best Yorkshire pudding recipe is in my book and my best pancake batter recipe is on this site here, so instead I give you a really delicious little something to make one evening for dinner, as a snack, or just because. I give you my coriander falafel. READ MORE
It was Lawrence’s birthday last week. He turned the grand old age of two. Now, when my first born son turned two I remember staying up half the night (despite having an office job that started at about 7.45am every day) modelling a cake into a train shape, making perfect snacks and filling carefully thought out party bags.

I keep my week days busy. If I’m working from home then lunch is grabbed at the kitchen table whilst I tap away, writing up a new recipe. If it’s a non ‘working’ day where I look after Lawrence (almost 2) then lunch is again grabbed at the kitchen table, though my attention is on my pint sized company. Lawrence is very chatty these days, so as soon as the food is served he wants to sit next to me and chat away about his morning and of course, what he’s eating. We don’t have time to mess about. Delicious, nutritious food is needed fast! READ MORE
Sweetcorn fritters? Yes! These are not just for babies. These are not just the territory of small dictators without many teeth. (What, you mean your baby/toddler doesn’t shout unidentifiable instructions at you every mealtime? Well, you’re lucky). READ MORE
Well January is done and, dare I say it, I am sure it felt a little warmer this week. Maybe just wishful thinking?
One of the things I look forward to most about the summer is all of us sitting outside together and eating with our hands. Sausage rolls, pasties, chips, crudités, fresh fruit, dips… anything that’s easy to eat and quick to prepare. READ MORE

I was discussing with a very famous vlogger recently (yes, I know, look at me down with kids, just call me Hollella) how pretty much everyone who loves their food is also a little bit absorbed in the workings of their digestive tract. To put it more bluntly, what goes in; must come out, and if you care about the quality and flavour of what you’re ingesting, then it’s only natural you want your digestion to work in harmony.

Canapes are so often disappointing; too small, sadly an afterthought. These are anything but.
The ultimate in surf and turf; perfectly marinated large garlicky maple scallops wrapped in salty smoked bacon and baked on toothpicks for decadent pop in your mouth canapes. You might be advised to make double. READ MORE
