Its heeeeeerrrree! For at least two (three at a push) weeks, Summer has arrived. Summer is a fleeting season in Scotland, you gotta enjoy it as and when it arrives. Even the seasonal produce (asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries) is blink and you miss it. So if that means BBQ’ing at 3pm on a Tuesday in the middle of […]

Mealtimes don’t get more quintessentially British than afternoon tea. Everyone loves it: from Grannies to our fellas (don’t lie boys) but its an event I fear we aren’t making the most of. Yes we have busier lives than those chilled out aristocratic Georgians, so stopping every day, mid-afternoon for a spot of tea and French Fancies is […]

I strongly believe there are some foods which are just not designed for public consumption. Wraps, a Mars ice cream and maybe a sandwich (maybe) can all be consumed in public. Heck eat it on public transport if you like, I don’t care. Baguettes and hummus (yes I’m looking at you lady on the Glasgow tube […]

There are moments in life where karma visits and drops a load of “ya dancer” in your lap. This moment was when I was sent a box of meat from the aptly named Carnivore Club. If you’re just tuning in, you should know straight up, I’m an out and proud carnivore. #MyFavouriteFoodIsMeat. It might have something to […]

In case you haven’t noticed, Glasgow is fast becoming one of the best cities to eat out in. Now we may have our very burger region (still not sure whether this is something to be proud of) but that doesn’t mean there isnt a place for folk who prefer their meals sans animal products. No […]

I’ve arrived late to the game. Which is strange considering my love of alcohol and my ability to handle a LOT of alcohol during my teens and twenties was very strong. I mean, this is a cocktail you can have without judgement at breakfast for crying out loud. All those breakfasts wasted on coffee and tea  when […]

Since most of us live wage to wage, shelling out top dollar for food, even if it does make you healthier, isnt always an option. We still have mortgages to pay, electricity bills to cover not to mention costs involved with taking care of our families. So what’s the solution? You don’t need to take out […]

According to the Met Office, British springtime officially started on 1st March. Despite the official stamp of springtime us Scots wont even notice the difference until about mid-May. Poor Scotland gets such a bad weather rap. Yeah it rains a lot. Like loads. All the time. In fact I don’t think I left the house and […]

When I blogged 10 Photography Tips for Food Blogging, it seemed to go down a storm. Which considering my amateur status as a photographer and blogger, is both flattering and humbling. For me, the best blogs are those where the content (particularly the photos) is top notch. Never more so than with food blogs because lets […]

Breakfast is undoubtedly my favourite meal of the day and its something I’d happily eat morning, noon and night. During the week coffee is the star of the breakfast show, a wee bowl of Weetabix will perhaps get a look in if I haven’t faffed around with my hair for too long. Come the weekend I like to […]
