Now that I have my new digs (stay tuned for the official Weegie kitchen tour) I’ve been reminiscing about the flats I’ve lived in over the years. We’re talking 12 years of Weegie living from my late teens to early thirties. This includes a 2 bed squalor flat where I lived with 3 girls & we had a […]

The Lobster Shack
Andy Murray is pelting a tennis ball in his whites and I have a hankering for Pimms, this surely means its SUMMER! I swear I feel like Buddy the Elf when he discovers “Santa” is coming to Gimbels. So what better way to celebrate the start of the British Scottish summer (we both know these are […]
Guest Blog: Around the World with COSMO
All you eat buffets, they’re prone to a bad rep aren’t they? Now don’t get me wrong, I’m by no means a buffet snob, in fact I love a buffet. I’m always the first one up there to load my plate high. Yet when we move the humble buffet from a party to a restaurant, […]

Findus Crispy Pancakes, McCain Micro Chips and tinned Campbells Meatballs (in onion gravy of course) is what I was raised on.

In Summer it gets too hot for all that business and all you really want is an ice lolly and a pair of flattering cut-off denim shorts. Whereas Autumn is all about eating apple crumble & custard to be bothered […]
Sweet Potato & Goats Cheese Ravioli

A Comforting Date & Bourbon Banana Bread
I love a swalley. I’m from the Weeg and I’m student so I can say that without fearing your judgement. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully aware of the dangers of binge drinking and while I may still be a student, those endless weekends of boozing till dawn are firmly behind me. Being a ‘mature’ […]
For the Love of Cake
My love affair with cake knows no bounds. Actually scrap that. My love affair with JUNK food knows no bounds. Chocolate bars, crisps, nuts, pretzels, ice cream, doughnuts and cakes. I freaking love it all. I do what I can to curb this type of gorging to a less frequent basis than I would ideally […]
