My own sense of self importance will never allow me to assume that you aren’t all just desperate to know why I’ve barely touched this blog for the last two years. Suffice to say life, as with many other things, happened. I don’t leave my cooking comfort zone as much as I did due to […]
Read More Grow Your Own! We’re Back.You Can’t Screw This Up is the kind of work that the world needs, especially in January when so many people feel a need to hit the self mutilation plans.
Read More Review- You Can’t Screw This UpIt’s Earth Day people!!! And if you hadn’t noticed: Earth is in trouble, and it’s where we all live. Biodiversity has decreased by up to 60% in the last 50 years* whilst the average global temperature is rising year on year and the sea quite literally rises around us. Babies are being born with microplastics […]
Read More Earth Day ’23- Eat For The World!!!!!!!It’s been a while since I’ve found myself in the streets of Maldon, a saltmarsh town in Essex I’m pretty fond of.

Read More Hank’s Dirty- ColchesterDisclaimer: I am in no way prejudiced against any kind of cake and believe all baked goods deserve an equal opportunity to be served for breakfast. One is back in isolation again after app-detected contact with some infected party of the local township and frankly, this sucks. It’s boring and stressful at once and couldn’t […]
Read More Breakfast Loaf CakeEveryone keeps banging on about baked oats at the moment. Like ooh they are so healthy and low GI and I say screw that, it’s still January and I want filth and substance on a cold Sunday morning. So I made baked oats around the crowd pleasing flavour combos already present in the kitchen- namely […]
Read More Baked Oatmeal- But Make It SexyThe Mr has recently given up coffee (unless it’s in a martini of some sort) and so I say hoorah, more for me!!! Cutting back on the black stuff is not an option for this blogger and I am now a long term convert to Nespresso. Over the last year I’ve been trying to move […]
Read More Top 3 Compostable Nespresso PodsAs the 2020 Yuletide approaches a lot of us are planning a seriously skimmed Christmas day and it isn’t the cheeriest of prospects in some households.
