There’s something really special about making your own bread. I think it’s the combination of the amazing smell that fills your home while it’s baking and the delicious and warm freshness of the first bite. I discovered this recipe on Pinterest a couple of months ago, and I think it’s a winner. There’s absolutely no…
Loving…lemonade & popsicles
Oh my goodness, it’s been a long time since my last post! I’ve been missing it so much, but unfortunately things have just got really busy (typical for the end of the year). I’m glad to say that I have a couple of sneaky treats up my sleeve, so keep an eye out! In the…

Ok, here’s something to add to your to-do list for today: Sign up for Nomu’s monthly recipe cards. You’ve probably seen Nomu‘s amazing range of spices in the shops (I’m a huge fan of their rubs), but you may not know that every month they send out a set of amazing recipe cards. Each set…

Loving…fudge
My husband’s family loves fudge (who doesn’t), so I always try to whip up a batch when we’re going to see them.

Loving…Dim Sum
I also spied some wonton wrappers at the Chinese food store, so keen to try to make some Dim Sum (first need to get my hands on a bamboo steamer). They seem easy enough, anyone got a good recipe?
