I don’t usually reblog, however given my general aversion to GM foods, this seemed important. Horrors.

Stilton & Watercress Muffins

Someone was once heard to say ‘not everyone likes cake’. And to that I say those people are quitters who haven’t the stamina to keep searching for the kind of cake that they like! But sweet treats aren’t for everyone, so I was drawn to seek out something off the beaten patisserie path. I’m also attending my Uncle’s […]

Super Simple Coleslaw

I love coleslaw. It’s all crunchy and moreish and versatile and it goes with all the best meals in life- you know, the BBQs and Boxing Day Buffets and summer Sunday cold cut lunches.

Are you going to eat………..Kangaroo?

Are you going to eat that? Or more specifically from this handily borrowed wikipedia image, are you going to eat her? If you hadn’t already gathered, today we’re talking about Kangaroo meat.

Today, it’s Bara Lafwr, Welshman’s Caviar or as it’s widely peddled, Laverbread. On a recent trip to Wales, my other half voiced an […]

Moon Munch

These yummy, crunchy biscuits with oats and nuts were a staple treat when I was growing up, both in their construction and consumption. I still revisit these as a winter treat or whenever I need a quick comfort fix. Plus with superfood oats and all the omega 3 and 6 oils in those walnuts they […]

Food Hero: M&S New York Coffee

We all have our little rituals on our days off, and of a Saturday morning I like nothing better than a slow start with a ton of coffee and a catch up with my on-line life. I’ll happily confess to being something of a coffee tosser, and I’m subjected to diabolical machine swill at work […]

A Worthy Debate for a Friday

So, it is time to settle an argument unwillingly opened by my mother this past weekend on the subject of the favoured lunch of millions- The Fishfinger Sandwich. The preferable, even out and out correct, serving of this dish provoked a firey debate in the caravan. There were many suggestions put forwards from my luncheon […]
