Seasonally Inspired Recipes & Writing
A little while ago I mentioned the new ASK Italian cookbook, with recipes by Theo Randall and Carla Capalbo. I had made the Spaghetti Carbonara – a winning family recipe in our household always met with smiles. We also recently ate at ASK and we were really impressed by their new 2013 menu, showcasing Italian inspired dishes [...]

They are owned by John Vincent and Henry Dimbleby and like all good foodie things, Leon cook books soon followed. There are now 4 Leon cook books (book 3 reviewed here) in the main series, and now, they have [...]

Another lovely giveaway for my readers to enter - this time, for a month’s supply of Greenvale Farm Fresh Potatoes and a pretty Jamie Oliver baking dish to roast them in. We love potatoes in our house. Any leftovers get thrown into soups to thicken them up or turned into a potato salad the next day. Greenvale Farm [...]

I had the pleasure of meeting Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi at their home when I took a pasta class with Katie Caldesi in 2011. At the time, Katie had just published a book called The Italian Cookery Course, which was one of my favourite books of 2011. Since then, Katie and Giancarlo have continued to be [...]
It’s that time of year again when the shops go into overdrive selling Valentine’s Day merchandise. Expectation levels are high; will we receive flowers, chocolates, a card from the petrol station, an invitation to dinner?! Or none of the above, with the reasoning that true love should be expressed throughout the year and not just on [...]
As we edge closer to December, thoughts of Christmas start to pick up speed. I’m not so keen on the stress of last minute present shopping, but I do always look forward to menu planning, decorating and oddly enough, to table setting. I’m also on a drive to buy locally this year, so I’ve ordered [...]
As the dark nights draw in, the slow cooker and ‘one-pot’ pans are put to work in my kitchen. The season for comfort food is upon us. The classic French dish of Boeuf Bourguignon made with good quality beef, bacon, a deep red wine and rich gravy is the ultimate winter warming supper. A little while ago I joined [...]
This week I’ve been cooking again with some delicious produce from online retailers Forman and Field and with some stock pots from Knorr. For dinner last night, we had baby chickens baked with chipolatas and rice. From my own store cupboard, I added a sprinkle of Middle Eastern spice called za’atar. Check back next week for my recipe. In the [...]
