We’ve all got our dream kitchens. Thanks to Pinterest and some very aspirational Instagram accounts, dream kitchens are just that lil bit more prominent in our lives. But long before Pinterest and the much loved hashtag, there was cinema and with cinema came a plethora of inspired #KitchenGoals. Here’s my top movie kitchens. Gosford Park’s vast […]
Strawberry & vanilla pavlova
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 […]
Afternoon Tea Essentials
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 […]
Ribs n Corn
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 […]
Carnivore Club Meat Box
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 […]
Vegetarian takeover at Hard Rock Cafe
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 […]
Weegie Kitchen Tour
If you keep up with my antics on Twitter or Instagram you’ve probably surmised I’ve moved. Over a year ago in fact. My Weegie Kitchen is no longer the open-plan space with bags of storage and an island unit ideal for parties. It’s the complete opposite. But its all good in the hood because this time around […]
Bloody Mary
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 […]
5 tips for healthy eating on a budget: Guest Post
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 […]
How to make a pallet coffee table
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 2 years (or you don’t have a Pinterest account) you’ll know when it comes to up-cycling, pallets are the numero uno material to work with. From beds to deck chairs, porch swings and vertical herb planters, there’s nothing we can’t do with a pallet. Why the […]
