Seasonally Inspired Recipes & Writing
I had an idea, to make some homemade Mother’s Day chocolates, which seemed much less messy in my head (although the photos conveniently don’t show the trail of chocolate all over the worktops) to make some chocolate blobs and decorate them. They seemed to work and my three year old enjoyed adding sprinkles and [...]
A little while ago I hosted a giveaway which included a hamper full of goodies for a perfect Christmas roast, including a Seldom Seen Farm free range turkey through from Forman and Field (who support gourmet and independent food producers) and Knorr UK. The winner was a lovely Fabulicious Food reader called Liz, who will be enjoying her gourmet hamper on Christmas Day. [...]
Weekends are for baking, slow cooking and now, it would seem, jam-making, preserving and curing. I’ve had some great successes making recipes from Salt Sugar Smoke by Diana Henry, a new book by one of Britain’s best-loved cookery writers. The first recipe I turned to, from the opening chapter, was Purple Fig and Pomegranate Jam. Handy, as figs were [...]
On Saturday I was very lucky again to be invited back onto BBC Three Counties Radio as a guest on Nick Coffer’s Weekend Kitchen. What fun! It’s always such a great show to listen to and even more enjoyable to take part as a guest. The show involves two hours of food, talk and music along with host [...]
I’m back! Now, it may look like I have neglected my blog recently, but in fact, as well as a wonderful family holiday in Wales there has been lots of behind-the-scenes work going on with an exciting new re-design of Fabulicious Food! to be revealed shortly. We’ve been hooked on the London 2012 Olympics, too, with much of [...]
Whenever I go along to a cookery class or a food event I go with the intention of learning something. In most cases, the tutor or teacher has acquired a certain level of knowledge and is keen to pass it on. In the case of my recent masterclass for food bloggers and writers with Marco [...]
For a little while, Vanessa Kimbell had been pondering a few very good questions. For example, do more expensive ingredients make a better tasting cake? What is the difference in price between the supermarkets when it comes to the cost of baking a cake overall? If you buy your ingredients at a ‘budget’ supermarket versus a ‘higher-end’ [...]
This is really Part Two of the ice cream challenge! Before the weekend, I began by making a malted milk custard base for my very first ever home made ice-cream for Kavey’s Bloggers Scream for Ice Cream challenge! I’m only just in time as today is the last day to post entries, but I think [...]
I’ve had something of an experimental morning in the kitchen, realising that I was running out of time to join in with a new blog event over at Kavey Eats called Bloggers Scream for Ice-Cream. The challenge is to make an ice-cream from scratch using a custard based ice-cream. Hmn, I’ve never made home made [...]
