Can I let you into a secret? Monday is National Peanut Butter Day. In honesty, every day is Peanut Butter Day for me. I am slightly obsessed. It has to be smooth and it has to be natural though. Who’s with me? I eat peanut butter with my granola and yoghurt, drizzled on pancakes, onRead more
Happy Saturday friends. I thought I would share with you my version of Beetroot Borscht that I made for my bubble lunch date last Sunday. For those of you that have never heard of borscht before, think of it as an Eastern European minestrone. A hearty soup that uses odds and ends of vegetables inRead more
It’s that time of year that calls for comfort food. It’s cold, it’s grey and on the most part pretty soggy outside. So I reach for gentle spices and recipes that make me feel warm from the inside out and incredibly satisfied. Food that feels like a big hug from your Nanna, do you knowRead more
I don’t know about you but I eat peanut butter every day in some form. Be it spooned onto my morning porridge, whizzed into a smoothie, whipped into frosting, or simply on some toasted sourdough after I finish my online ballet classes.

Happy UK Coffee Week to you all. I have to confess, I am not a coffee addict. I am definitely more of a tea drinker but I do like the odd cappuccino (retro choice I know) and espresso now and again. I do however go nuts over coffee flavoured things. Coffee cake is a particularRead more
I have made this cake twice now with my glut of courgettes and it’s too good not to share with you all. I can safely say it is the most delightfully moist sponge that tastes so decadent and rich. My feeling is that it has to be good for you too because it contains veg!Read more
It would seem that every recipe coming out of Tara’s Busy Kitchen has had an orange hue of late. Whether it’s been pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pasta or pumpkin mousse.
