So lets talk about herbs…. many of my recipes rely on herbage in order to transform the mundane into the sublime and whilst I have a mainstay of dried herbs at my disposal I do rely on their fresh counterparts to add a little extra something into the mix. Fresh or Dried? Well that really…

Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs
Yesterday for my birthday I decided to admit my age and have a BBQ rather than pretend I’m in my 20s and go out clubbing – besides I did that on Thursday AND Friday. Most of the BBQ was your usual artisanal sausages and burgers – courtesy of the farmers market – but I decided…
Review: Crocus Paella at Brighton’s Street Diner
One of the best things about working in the centre of Brighton is the number of food options available for Lunch. My Favourite past time on a Friday is heading 5 minutes from the office and sampling the wondrous fare provided by the vendors at Brighton’s very own Street Food Market – Street Diner . I’ve sampled…
UKIP- so how bad was it?
As I may have mentioned in previous blogs and all over twitter I’ve been really worried about the ‘rise’ of UKIP over the previous months. So much so that both the Dazzler and I, who have been heartened by the progress made in the name of equality, have actually been scared for our future. Dramatic…
Macaroni Cheese Lasagna
Last night one of my favourite chefs, Lorraine Pascale, tweeted asking which people preferred – mac and cheese or lasagna. It sent my mind running back to the first meal I ever cooked my mum and her then boyfriend at my first ever flat way back in time. The meal was cooked in an old…
I love a bit of verbal abuse…
So there I was, a week into my new regime of actually getting off my arse and moving, happily cycling along the cycle lane on my way home from work when some numpty in a 90s throwback souped up car decides he isn’t comfortable waiting behind the line to pull out into traffic but instead…

Do you over-exclaim?!!!?
Throughout my life I’ve been told that I have a problem… Whether it was writing an essay for uni!!! Or sending an email for work!!! Or even texting my friends!!! ….Apparently I use too many exclamation marks!!! My uni lecturer said that I would end nearly every paragraph like I was a bad journalist. Several…
I’m the king of Shopping Around
My brother and his wonderful Girlfriend Fiancé have decided that they are getting married next year (yes they got engaged – squeeeeeal) and not only have they decided to do the deed in Las Vegas but they want us all there too!! After about 10 minutes of “we can’t afford this!” We realised that a)…
We go together like…. (Or what are your food foibles?)
A while back I posed a question to my colleagues. I asked them whether Yorkshire pudding should be the preserve of the roast beef dinner or whether it could be much more versatile than that. Many believe that “anything goes” but a few, myself included, believe that, as it’s a combination that works, why mess…
