Do you have an ultimate comfort food? I do. In fact I have two that vie for the title. The two contenders are macaroni cheese with lashings of cheese sauce and homemade chicken and ham pie. Either of these is my go to cheer-me-up-now food. Or at least they were until about two weeks ago…. Read more »

In the Kitchen: Mug Cakes
So hands up if you got the best Christmas present ever? No you’re all wrong, I most definitely win hands down. As I got this awesome recipe book. A book all about mug cakes. Um, amazing! I’ve been a fan of mug cakes for ages, but I’ve always stuck to bog standard chocolate mug… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Peanut Butter and Chocolate Granola
Synonymous with the start of a New Year is cutting out all the bad foods from your life. So instead of that 600 calorie sandwich you eat a healthy salad or switch a hot chocolate with whipped cream for a skinny latte, or better yet the Americano. Hands up if you’re making those sots of changes right now? I’m… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Oaty Fruit Crumble
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 »

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 macaroni cheese is the best recipe you will ever find. I’m not even slightly kidding, this is PHENOMENALLY good and just perfect for the upcoming cooler evenings and lazy Sundays on the sofa (that’s not just me right?). Growing up we weren’t… 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 »
