Seasonally Inspired Recipes & Writing
Another Christmas has come and gone…I hope you all had an enjoyable time. It’s been wonderful to relax, see family and friends and of course, enjoy plenty of good food and cheer. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas for me without starting it all off with a Polish Christmas Eve meal at home with my family. My mother [...]
Do you make your own Christmas pudding or cakes? I have to say, it has never been part of my family tradition to make a Christmas pudding and I’m pretty sure that this is the first time I’ve made my own Christmas cakes. Our usual tradition is to make Pierniczki or Polish Spiced Christmas Cookies, to decorate [...]
St Albans has a new cookbook club!

The box was huge and was filled to the brim with seasonal and Christmas treats for me to cook with, including a 5KG Kelly Bronze Turkey worth £73.95 and [...]
