I know, I know, I’m still being too quiet on the blog front as we are just so darned busy but I had to share a review of the wonderful lunch we had at the Eddy (The Edinburgh Pub) in Brighton. I should preface this by saying this was an informal works lunch and we…

My secret Herb Garden
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…
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…
We go together like…. (Or what are your food foibles?)

Many believe that “anything goes” but a few, myself included, believe that, as it’s a combination that works, why mess…
Nigella’s Flabulous Easter cake
Later this week sees a visit from our wonderful Niece and Nephew (not to mention their Flabulous Mum) and as it’s Easter I want to make a special cake for us to tuck into whilst they are here. It would be oh too easy to roll out my usual chocolate fudge cake but as I…
Flabulous Clam Chowder
On our honeymoon we had the most amazing clam chowder at Disneyworld. We loved it so much we ended up going back to the same restaurant several times and ordering it rapidly became a staple of our trip. I’ve never had the nerve to try this recipe at home as I thought the whole…
My blue cheese spiked Waldorf salad
I’ve had a hankering for Waldorf salad for a week now. I don’t know where it’s come from but I reckon as a lunchtime meal it’s a much better alternative, for me, to sarnies but it a little more filling than a plain old salad. But as usual I want more!! and in order to elevate…
