On a day to day basis (in my academic life) I think about, write about and research a dental health intervention which is aimed at improving children’s oral health (that’s the short story, check out my LinkedIn profile here if you want more info). However, in my blogging life, I write about food, eating and […]
Blogger Bake Off
Our wee Weeg (aka: Glasgow) has its very own hot & happening Blogger scene and the best bit is, it’s friendly and inviting. The Mean Girls style cliques don’t exist in this neck of the woods. We’re a friendly and full of banter bunch of babes who happen to blog. So when the opportunity came-a-knocking […]
A Weegie Eats Out: Section-33 Pop Up Restaurant
For such a wee city Glasgow can never be accused of being a dull place for dining out. There are literally hundreds of options at your disposal across the city, each offering you something a little different. Burgers may be the latest trend to take the city by storm but its the Street Food and […]
Gin, Apple & Elderflower Collins
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 […]
Apple, Date & Pecan Toffee Cake

Sykes Cottages Haggis Championships: Haggis Samosas
Ask any Scottish person what their first memories of haggis are & I reckon they will tell you 3 things: Robert Burns Day Reciting poetry at School assembly Eating Haggis, Neeps and Totties at School, usually on a paper plate for some reason. If they’re female,then add ‘wearing a scratchy kilt’ as well. Needless to […]
The Border Biscuits Big Baking Bonanza #BBBBB
Over the summer Border Biscuits (aye them that does THE BEST biscuits) and Asda launched the Big Baking Bonanza to search for the best British biscuit recipe. Essentially, novice and amateur bakers up and down the country were invited to submit their best recipe in the hopes of winning £2000, a place on a baking […]
Roast Cauliflower & Mushroom Carbonara
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, […]
