2017 turned out to be a year I am on the one hand immensely proud of, and on the other hand very happy to be finishing. Nothing terrible happened, on the contrary, its was an amazing year but it was a tough one. So rather than focus solely on the culinary highlights like I did […]

Sticky Clementine Cake
I’m fully aware that posting a cake recipe on the 3rd January isn’t gonna entice many people. At this point, if my Twitter timeline is anything to go by, the majority of folk are kick -starting their new year in the “healthy” way. Whether this be juicing, eating avocados (it’s always bloody avocados isn’t it?), […]
Beginners guide to a very British Christmas: Part 2
Welcome to part 2 of my beginners guide to a very British Christmas. To read Part 1 of the beginners guide follow the link. Putting the Tree Up In Britain, decorating your home for Christmas is called “putting the tree up” and the date on which you do this is hotly debated among us Brits. […]
Green Minestrone
By definition, minestrone is a thick, Italian , carb-laden, veggie soup. In my eyes, this soup is designed to be insulation against the winter weather. It’s something you ladle into oversized mug, which you wrap your hand around for warmth, while tentatively taking small sips, fogging up your glasses in the process. The fact that […]
Home Tour: Kitchen
The last time I posted a kitchen tour it was of my wee Glasgow flat (click here ). Back then I had recently moved and thus dramatically downsized my kitchen, but I didn’t care. I had placed 1 converse-clad foot firmly on the property ladder (solo and while studying for a PhD I might add) […]
Top Tips for Planning Your Babymoon
The Babymoon. Its the done thing now isn’t it? I guess pre-pregnancy I never really got it or understood why it needed this cutesy name. I mean, its a holiday FFS, lets just call a spade a spade. But now that I am firmly with child I see there is vast difference between a holiday […]
Butternut Squash Thai Curry
I’ve inherited this trait from my Gran whereby I struggle to cook small portions. Now on the one hand this means I’m never knowingly under catered, so if anyone was to stop by for dinner unannounced chances are there’d be plenty food for them and/or there is always leftovers to hand in the fridge or freezer. […]
First Trimester Food Aversions
I started writing this when I was 8 weeks pregnant and where I was convinced that if I socialised with anyone out with our immediate family I’d give the game away that I was preggers. It’s not that we had any reason to hide the pregnancy per say, we just wanted to enjoy it ourselves for […]
Modern Map Art for the Home
When it comes to decorating your home, rental or otherwise, in my mind there’s no better way of stamping your mark on the place than hanging a little wall art. One of the first things I tend to do in a new home is get the pictures on the wall pronto because even if the […]
Gooey Rolo Brownies
Contrary to what my Instagram feed will have you believe, I’m no ways a chocolate fiend (its crisps that are my kryptonite). No, that title belongs solely to R. Not only is he a chocolate fiend but he’s also a chocolate snob where only the good stuff will suffice: Lady Godiva, Hotel Chocolat, Charbonnel et […]
