Gordon Ramsay, God love him, is known to interview potential employees on the strength of their scrambled eggs. You don’t count as a cook if you can’t make decent scrambled egg. I employ an equally fierce vetting system on casual eateries and the quality of their fishfinger sandwich, and today begins the documentation on such […]
Read More The Perfect Fishfinger Sandwich Hunt- TrottersYour five a day can be a chore sometimes, but why not get two of them out of the way in a quick, nutritious drink? It’s so good for you! The below version is a common treat in my house, including belly friendly yoghurt, antioxidant rich superfood raspberries and unsung hero pineapple. Hydrating […]
Read More Basic Smoothie RecipeI don’t usually reblog, however given my general aversion to GM foods, this seemed important. Horrors.
Read More MonsantoSomeone 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 […]
Read More Stilton & Watercress MuffinsI 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.

If you hadn’t already gathered, today we’re talking about Kangaroo meat.

Quite frankly, their work is amazeballs! You can check out their full range of services at http://www.tesscakes.co.uk but if you are too lazy to click on that link I […]
Read More A Little Plug- Tess’s CakesHello, and welcome to the first snippet of Are You Going To Eat That? Here is where we, by which I mean I, look at rare, controversial and out and out weird foodstuffs. 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 […]
Read More Are you going to eat………….Laverbread?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 […]
Read More Moon MunchWe 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 […]
