Seasonally Inspired Recipes & Writing
Knowing where our food comes from is the hot topic of the moment. Processed foods have never been more out, whilst good quality, origin-specific foods are in. This is a shift in thinking that I welcome 100%. I’d like to be more aware of where our food comes from. I’d like to better understand the [...]
It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas…and it snowed today! A snowy day calls for staying home, keeping warm and making a big pan of Christmas Spiced Cranberry and Plum Chutney. It is so easy to make (less than twenty minutes and it’s done) and it goes with a whole host of Christmas goodies – your [...]
Sometimes it’s nice to gather together to celebrate. I don’t think we celebrate, or gather together, nearly enough anymore. Time is always too tight and other commitments always seem to take precedence. As Brits, we don’t really go too far into celebrating our successes, either. So, I was delighted to be amongst a group of food [...]
Nettle soup with wild garlic-infused olive oil, sweet onion tart topped with foraged herbs, blue cheese cheesecake with wild poppy seed biscuits. The kind of food you would perhaps expect to find on the menu of a Michelin-starred restaurant – not at your local pub. As a foodie with a great love of all things local, I was intruiged [...]
I know, I know, Christmas is getting earlier and earlier each year, but for some reason, this year there is an extra bit of excitement in the air. I can’t quite put my finger on why the anticipation is building up already. Perhaps it’s panic setting in early, pretending to be excitement. It could also be something [...]
You may remember that a little while ago I attended a bloggers event courtesy of Knorr UK where I had the opportunity of meeting Marco Pierre White to watch him cook. Marco was really lovely and showed us some great tips – which I shared with you all in the ‘Meeting Marco’ post. Knorr have stayed in touch [...]
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 [...]
You may remember that a little while ago I was invited to attend a Knorr event to meet and watch a cookery demonstration by Marco Pierre White. The day was a great success, with my expectations definitely being exceeded. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet Marco and to find that he was such a friendly chap keen to share his [...]
Did you know that today is National Cherry Day? A few years ago, Food Lovers Britain launched the Cherry Aid Campaign in a bid to get us all behind the British Cherry. In the last 50 years we’ve lost 90% of our Cherry Orchards and we now import 95% of the cherries that we eat. So, today [...]
Last week I was invited to attend an event hosted by Knorr to launch their new ’Best of British’ campaign. Now I don’t usually get that excited about stock cubes, as such, but add in an invitation to Marco Pierre White’s restaurant ‘Marco’ at Chelsea Football Ground and throw in the man himself and the excitement levels are building! Aside [...]
