Whilst I’m hopeful for another handful of days this year that are sunny enough to call us to salad and bbqs, there’s no denying that the temperature is dropping and the nights are drawing in. It’s time to revers to some wholesome and comforting autumn dinners.
Read More Saturday Night BeansDon’t you just love a recipe post without any history, pithy anecdotes or epic battle scenes to endure before you get to the shopping list?
Read More Tomato, Avo & Asparagus SaladBalance, sustainability and my desperate need to cover my failings have recently lead me to reconsider my attitude to some areas of the grounds of Castle Boomboom. There’s something soul eating about spending all of your time trying to banish the unwanted, to the point of having no time/energy/garden centre vouchers left to focus on […]
Read More Applemint SyrupDisclaimer: 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 CakeAs per previous rants, I’m not a fan of Christmas cake and also doing my best these days to have a low/no dairy diet where possible.

Read More The X(mas) Files- Spiced Clementine CakeThat’s it, Christmas is over, it’s back to work and back to accepting that Stilton and chocolate Santas for every meal is probably not a great idea (no, not even if they are dark chocolate Santas). It’s time to get your January plan on, people. This might mean going vegan, switching to meal replacement shakes […]
Read More Easy Lunchbox TraybakeIf there is one thing you need at your Christmas cheeseboard, my cucumber pickle is it, and there is still time to get a batch ready for the big day as although it constantly improves in the jar, it only really needs a week to mature. And once life goes on after the festive period, […]
Read More Boomboom’s World Famous Cucumber Pickle.Since embarking on my new edible regime I’m doing pretty ok. I don’t miss meat that much and I can live with loads of pulses and most of the milk substitutes out there. I still have bad and bloaty days, but the good days are better than they were and my veg consumption is through […]
Read More Smoky Cauli SoupIf there’s one thing that has been giving me the fear about trying to get on board with a hormone friendly anti-inflammatory diet it is The Bland. Although I’d say I’m a pretty established cook, I’m also a pretty predictable one on a day to day basis and I rely a lot on using chilli, […]
Read More Magnesium Boost SaladSpicy Spuds were an aromatic, over fried chunk of late-night-bad-food heaven from that grey area of my life that covers the ages after childhood but well before being any kind of a grown up. It was the late 90s in a sunny Essex town, and it was about two in the morning after a Friday […]
