Seasonally Inspired Recipes & Writing
We love meatballs! If you make your own at home, you know exactly what’s gone into them and you can add lots of lovely flavours, too. They are easy to make and the kids love them. These are really tasty, I used turkey mince (very lean and great value) and added leeks and freshly grated Grano [...]
The Easter weekend is upon us and I am reminded of how, growing up, we would always eat fish on a Friday, not just on Good Friday. And before the chocolate frenzy begins, there is still time to eat simply. We’re starting our day with a Hot Smoked Mackerel Omelette, for a quick and easy omega-3 boost. For [...]
This week I was invited to take part in a challenge set by Russell Hobbs to try out their new Creations Kitchen Machine. Russell Hobbs are hosting a champagne and cake party tonight in London to launch their new range of Creations food prep products. My challenge was to make something to the theme of [...]

This month, excitingly, the theme is ‘Halloween Horrors‘ and Sarah has challenged us all to use our imaginations and create any Nigella dish we like, but we [...]
Whether or not we buy organic food seems to be a question capable of sparking huge debate. We know that organic food is better for us, but can we justify buying organic food when shopping bills are rising sharply? Is it a luxury to buy organic? Are most of us buying basics ranges? If we buy locally produced [...]
In case you’ve managed to miss it so far, this week is National Baking Week. The nation seems to have gone crazy for baking recently, with lots of baking programmes on TV and a whole array of new and very beautiful baking bibles to add to our collections. When Leon Baking & Puddings published by Octopus [...]
Oh go on then. We obviously haven’t had quite enough of National Chocolate Week yet and I did mention some Pear and Chocolate Brownies in my post yesterday so I am sharing… This is a post for the Autumnal Baking Challenge over at What Kate Baked – there’s still time to enter so you might like to [...]
