Inspired by all the rainbow images in peoples windows as I take my daily walk, I decided to whip up a batch of simple cupcakes. The recipe is an easy one but I pimped it up slightly with a handful of brightly coloured rainbow sprinkles. The rainbow sprinkles when folded into the cake batter createRead more
These flatbread frying pan pizzas have been a godsend in lockdown and enjoyed time and time again. They are so good! I really had no idea how they would turn out but to my surprise, they turned out more than fine. I thought they were a triumph. Steve even said they were “better than PizzaRead more

Normally a day when families come together to celebrate, eat delicious food and head on out for a walk possibly culminating in a trip to the pub for a drinkie. With our Prime Minister Boris Johnson indicating the lockdown in the United Kingdom is likelyRead more
Last Tuesday, the 17th March, was St Patrick’s day. Blink and you probably missed it. I celebrated with family before we all got separated and stuck in our own homes in different towns and villages.

Matcha cake with raspberry pink icing, beetroot pasta with a sprinkling of fresh parsley, the pink pickled turnip you get at Lebanese restaurants served alongside herby tabbouleh and now I can add beetroot cream cheese and wilted leafy greensRead more
