Jamie Oliver saved me from crap Yorkies several years ago. Before I was under the misapprehension that Yorkie mix was the same as pancake mix but I was soooo wrong. This always left me with flat doughy, puddings that were frankly an embarrasment. Jamie’s recipe is so simple and honestly works for me every time….

Too Easy to be true Real Chips
For years I avoided making real deep fried chips. I grew up with horror stories of wet tea-towels, chip pans that melted and a whole host of other things that can go wrong. That is till about 5 years ago when Nigella changed my life forever. Since then Ive been able to make perfect chips…
Cauliflower Cheese
I’ll let you into a secret – I am not a fan of cauliflower – it started in childhood and whilst other foods have become something i now happily eat I will never choose Cauli. I do however, thanks most to my hubby, have a secret craving for Cauliflower cheese whenever I have roast chicken….
Cherries & Berries Overnight Oats
Im useless at getting organised in the morning. My brain just doesn’t function that early and I always end up either with a bacon roll from Greggs or Marmite toast. Neither of these are particularly good for me and my doctors have been banging on at me about having porridge for breakfast for years –…
Our post Christmas Mexican feast
Merry Christmas to you all. Like me by now you are probably over Christmas food and looking for ANYTHING that doesn’t come with stuffing, gravy and roasted vegetables. I decided that last night was going to be the last night of xmas food and we used up leftovers with nibbles and cocktails. Today I don’t want…
Mini Hasselback Potatoes
Yesterday was Sunday, It was miserable & cold out – most definitely a Roast Chicken Dinner kinda day. After a quick trips to the supermarket I got a really nice size chicken for £3.50 (thank you Sainsbury’s!) which I basted with lemon and pepper and popped in the oven together with some stuffing I threw together. I was just about to peel…
My favourite easy breakfast sarnie- toasted bacon and tomato
We’ve all been there. In a rush, want something satisfying yet naughty but don’t want the guilt. I was in exactly this position this morning and really needed to get to the shops and then I remembered a sandwich I haven’t made myself in a long time- my toasted bacon and tomato special. It’s not…
Bacon “stuffed” pancakes – OMG I just died and went to bacon heaven
My love affair with bacon is longstanding and well documented! I am still yet to meet a food which cannot be enhanced with bacon (although ice cream is very much a work in progress!) So when my family came to visit with tales of a bacon stuffed American style pancake that they were desperate to…
The perfect cooked breakfast
When I was 16 one of my first jobs was working in my local cafe. One morning my boss was off sick and I got asked to prep 4 breakfasts. I had never made a breakfast before (I’d eaten loads) and if I said it was a disaster that would’ve been an understatement. By the…
New Year’s Eve nibbles!!
Happy New Year’s Eve to you all!! As we are both feeling a little unwell (damn you manflu) we have decided to host an impromptu soirée to being in the new year but as usual have left it too late to go shopping. We only have a select group coming so I don’t need to…
