Last weekend I had no concrete plans and as a result ended up having the most productive weekend I’ve had for a very long time. Don’t you just love it when that happens? There was present making (more to come on that post-Christmas but I’m super pleased), runs, house stuff, Christmas films galore and decorations… Read more »

In the Kitchen: Festive Gingerbread Biscuits
Since mid November my work colleagues have been begging me to make them Christmas Gingerbread biscuits. Over the last 5+ years it’s become an office tradition for me to supply the team with snappy gingerbread creations to nibble on through the Christmas weeks. I’m a huge gingerbread lover so I am always more than happy… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Cheesy Pastry Apple Pie
A few weeks ago I was intrigued by the lovely Char’s post about an apple pie recipe. I know what you’re thinking, what’s so special about apple pie? After all it’s a standard recipe, especially in the autumn as things are getting cooler and darker. Well the special thing is the pastry on Char’s pie included cheese…. Read more »
In the Kitchen: One Giant Cookie
Did anyone else do that classic Halloween thing of stocking up on loads of snack size treats this weekend and then get left with it all as they had zero trick or treaters? That can’t just have been what happened to me, can it? On Sunday I made it my task to use up all… Read more »
In the Kitchen: An Unbeatable Mac and Cheese
I’m just going to put it out there and say that this recipe for Mac and Cheese is the best recipe you will find. It would be impossible to beat it. And no I’m not even slightly kidding. It’s PHENOMENALLY good and just perfect for the upcoming cooler evenings and lazy Sundays on the sofa (that’s… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Turkey and Spinach bake
As Fi mentioned in a previous post someone amazing (aka me) bought her the new Mary Berry cookbook. Now as is the normal occurrence when a new cookbook arrives, we set out to try a new recipe from the book straight away. Surely that’s the first thing anyone does when they get a new recipe book?… Read more »
Making my own nak’d bites
Greetings blog friends, how are you this wondrous day? I’m (hopefully) currently sunning myself in Portugal so I thought I’d leave you with a brilliant recipe. After all who doesn’t love chocolate gooey morsels of joy? No one worth knowing, that’s who. Over the past few weeks I’ve been trying to leave bad habits behind and… Read more »
Non Boring Pork Chops
Yes possibly one of the most uninspiring blog post titles ever, but it made sense to me! So confession time, I’ve never really been a fan of pork chops. I don’t know why but whenever someone suggests chops I’m a bit non-committal and uninterested and yet when they’re on my plate I devour them with lashings… Read more »
Smores Cheesecake Squares
It’s no secret that here at This & That we LOVE the sweet stuff. Cake, biscuits, pastries, tarts. You name it either Fi or I (or both of us) will undoubtedly like it and eat it. We are always always on the look out for more recipes to try, so when Fi stumbled across a… Read more »
Delicious bites of Sweet Potato Falafel
Ooh our very first foodie post – yay for that! And what’s even more exciting is that this recipe is an update on one of my all-time favourite recipes – sweet potato falafel. I first discovered this falafel at Leon on The Strand, one of the best lunch places, around about four years ago and… Read more »
