Seasonally Inspired Recipes & Writing
Easter weekend is almost here, which means it’s time to start thinking about feeding, baking, decorating eggs, making Easter baskets and hopefully, to finally welcoming some Spring sunshine! Easter can be a very special time, rich in symbolism; new life, re-birth, new activity, perhaps taking a break, a step back to breathe, taking the opportunity to spring clean, to [...]
A quick burst of Simple and in Season to hopefully get your snowed-in taste buds rocking and rolling! Karen at Lavender and Lovage very kindly hosted an extra-long round of Simple and in Season for December which ran up until 15th January. We had a feeling the New Year would be busy, and we were [...]
Believe it or not, this breakfast-brunch was not a hangover cure. We have been recovering from the winter flu bug and I’m trying to cram in as many vitamins and as much goodness into us all as possible. So, here are my Swiss Scrambled Eggs - a warmed all-butter croissant, filled to the brim with spinach, ham, Gruyère cheese and scrambled eggs. You could [...]
I nearly missed it, but I realised earlier on this evening that it’s my blog’s second birthday! Back in November 2010, when I started writing this blog at home as a hobby, I had no idea where it would take me. I knew that I enjoyed writing and that food was a topic I’d never tire of [...]

Given that I’ve always been interested in cooking, most of the courses I’ve taken have [...]
I’ve always been interested in reading about food trends and already this year, many blogs as well as magazines have been a great source of trend-predicting. I’m happy to hear that our obsession with baking is set to carry on enthusiastically. Nordic food will continue to influence our cooking and although Peruvian food is said to be the [...]
I love following food blogs and one of the very best things about the explosion of food blogging is the wealth of inspiration from all over the world, with individual perspectives, styles and ideas. Whilst I don’t usually use or buy silcone baking moulds, when I saw these peppermint snowflake chocolates on one of my favourite American blogs, Baked by Rachel, [...]
When I first started blogging in November 2010 I was very certain that I wanted to write about food and some of the most enjoyable aspects of blogging, for me, have been the constant learning and the fact that a blog evolves. I have definitely reached the end of the road with my blogging platform Blogger. It has served [...]
This weekend I attended Food Blogger Connect, which is Europe’s first and biggest food blogging conference held in London. I had no idea what to expect, since it was the first event of this kind that I’ve attended as a food blogger. All I did know was that as soon as I saw the event [...]
