When I initially wrote this recipe for Apple & Plum crumble I was curled up under a blanket, the candles were lit, the heating was on full whack, and I was even wearing a wooly hat. The following day when I go to edit this post, I was wearing a maxi dress and sunglasses, sitting […]

How to Make…Fresh Pasta
Ever fancied having a go at making your own pasta? Got a pasta machine buried in the back of the cupboard? Well break it out my friend! I swear, making your own pasta is really not as complicated as it looks. Admittedly, I don’t make my own pasta that often. Most of the time I’m […]
Pork Milanese & Fresh Tomato Tagliatelle
Veal Milanese, or Cotoletta alla Milanese to give its proper Italian name, is up there as one of my top favourite meals. It’s not so much the pasta or the breaded/schnitzell factor but its the veal: I bloomin love it. Granted, veal has had it’s fare share of controversy and it’s generally grouped with foie gras in […]
White Chocolate Dipped Madeleines
Valentines Day. We have the ones who just ignore it. I don’t mind these guys, they tend to keep themselves to themselves. Then we also have the folks who go nuts over it (namely Americans, or at least, the Americans portrayed in TV and film). And then there are the people who hate it and […]
Mushroom & Veggie Haggis Bites
Lets just get one thing clear, I don’t think Scottish people really eat that much haggis. Yes I know its our national dish but I’ll let you in on a little secret: haggis is something we Scots tend to eat only around Burns night. But do you know what, I get it. In all respects haggis is […]
Food Highlights of 2016
2016 eh? What a flipping disaster that turned out to be. So now that we’re all safely on the other side, I’m turning my blogger eye to my culinary highlights of 2016: those brief moments amidst the chaos of which I do recall with some pleasure. January January 2016 was the month I came to know and […]
A Weegie in Budapest
Tuesday 27th September 2016 will forever be a pivotal day for me. This was the date where after 4 years I submitted my PhD thesis; and where after NINE back to back years of University life, I finally left my student years behind me. It was a momentous occasion and one which required a suitably epic […]
Cocktails & Dreams at Glasgow Trading House
Ever since I witnessed Tom Cruise doing the Hippy Hippy Shake in Cocktail I’ve LONGED for the opportunity to get behind the bar and have a go at mixing my own cocktails. However, when I discovered that working in a bar in Glasgow wouldn’t exactly live up to my Coyote Ugly/Cocktail dreams, I simply made do with cocktail […]
Tear n Share Cinnamon Buns
I make no effort to hide that breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. I think it has something to do with the sheer variety on offer but mostly I like that breakfast satisfies my sweet tooth: banana bread, muffins, and waffles all blur the line between pudding and breakfast. While this is a relatively […]
Pork Katsu Curry
The type of food I order in restaurants or for takeaway is not the type of cooking I do everyday at home. I suspect most folks are that way inclined. Why go to the effort of slaving for hours over a monkfish curry (not to mention the expense) when Khushi’s up the road will do […]
