Food

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Thaikhun, the sister company to Chaophraya, has not long opened its doors in Glasgow’s Silverburn Shopping Centre. In stark contrast to the chic Chaophraya, of which I’m a big fan, Thaikun offers a more laid-back dining experience but with an equally authentic menu. A great deal of effort has gone into making Thaikhun reminiscent of a […]

For the uninitiated, Foodies Festival is a UK wide festival celebrating culinary delights. This year Edinburgh’s Foodies Festival is being held in Inverleith Park from 5-7th August 2016 and this Weegie just so happens to have three pairs of tickets to give away. To find out more and to enter the competition, keep reading. The Foodies Festival […]

Let’s talk about brunch. Relatively speaking, it’s a new phenomenon to have hit our shores. I certainly didn’t grow up in a time where brunch was an option, yes as a child there were times when I indulged in a bowl of Frosties at 11am, but we never called it a meal. Fast forward decade […]
