Food

I hesitated for some time whether to upload this recipe because quite frankly, its a bit of a faff. Now before you click that little cross at the top right hand corner of the screen, hang back a minute. The faff is merely the time it takes to make as opposed to its complexity. Now […]

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’ […]

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 […]

There are days when we have all the time in the world to cook. I love those days. On those days I put an apron on, I line up a couple Morcheeba albums on Spotify (the ultimate chill-out music to take me back to the 90s) and I tuck myself away in the kitchen to […]

Last Thursday we Scots voted on whether we wanted to separate from the UK and be an Independent country. 97% of Scots who were eligible to vote registered to do so and over 3.5million people turned out to cast their vote. To say it was a tense night is putting it lightly. To say I […]

The mornings are a little more crisp, the leaves are tentatively starting to change colour and the evenings are subtly becoming darker. Autumn is coming, can you feel it? Autumn is easing us in slowly this year. Typically in my neck of the woods, one minute you’re finally managing how to work a high waisted floaty […]

This is the second of 3 recipes I was given to taste test by Border Biscuits for their Big Baking Bonanza. You can read more about it here. I’ll be posting each of the recipes, in 3 separate posts, until the winner is announced at the end of the month. These include: Stem Ginger & Chocolate […]

If vegetables were to be given sex appeal then humble cauliflower would surely be at the bottom of the list. If asparagus is the Johnny Depp of the veggie world then cauliflower is the Jeremy Clarkson (sorry Jeremy). No matter how organic it is, how healthy experts claim it to be or how you cook or prepare it, […]
