(Ad) Last nights supper was quite an affair thanks

(Ad) Last nights supper was quite an affair thanks to talented chef @samuel.billson of @no5exeter - restaurant quality three courses delivered in a socially distanced manner to my front door. How wonderful is that? Obviously right now we can’t go out and support our favourite independents by visiting their beautiful venues so getting a home delivery is the next best thing. The No5 at Home service offers delivery or pick up weekly on Friday and Saturdays. Just get your order in by midnight on Wednesday to secure your booking.
The three courses arrive in recyclable packaging all portioned out for you to prepare. There is a little light cooking involved but don’t panic! Sam has provided a recipe card for each dish. I ordered celeriac & Apple soup which was an easy heat in the pan situation, the hake needed pan frying with accompaniments in the oven but all came together in 10 minutes and dessert could be microwaved. If like me you don’t have a micro-wa-vey (Think Nigella here!) you can easily adapt with a warm oven. Obviously the food was stand out (I’m not just saying that because it was a freebie) but I think in terms of value for money you couldn’t do better; 3 courses for £21.50, (A small delivery charge is added) If you want to see how I got on check out my Instagram stories but be quick! If you want a sneak peak at No5 then head to my saved stories. I was lucky enough to be able to visit prior to their launch and put together a little story to show the venue off! It’s too late to order for this weekend but check out the menu for next week. It will be different but I should imagine equally delicious.

Did you know that this Sunday 24th January is Nati

Hands up who else eats peanut butter everyday? 🙋🏻‍♀️ It works well in savoury dishes and I particularly love it mixed with marmite on thick toasted sourdough after I finish ballet in the evenings. I know many might turn their nose up at that combo but seriously it’s the perfect savoury hit! But, I am not here to talk about savoury ways to eat peanut butter I am here to tell you about how good peanut butter is stirred into sweet treats like cookies & cakes but also in my new recipe for Peanut Butter Mousse. This weekend I have been trialling this delicious dessert in time for National Peanut Butter Day that happens to be next Sunday. So far on my stories you guys are 100% up for me sharing the recipe in time for the big day next weekend so keep watching this space for details. It needs just 4 ingredients and takes about 15 minutes to whip up plus chilling time. I think you are going to love it! 🥜

Simple pleasure come with molten cheese interiors!

Simple pleasure come with molten cheese interiors! Try putting a little bit of the inside on the outside so your guests (guests? Who has guests these days!🤪) know what’s inside their toastie. A little spicy sausage, a few sage leaves, a piece of ham .. let me tell you... the ham and robust herbs go kinda crispy in the butter whilst the sandwiches toast and it’s a joy to behold! That textural thing is always a winner when it comes to food.. oozy cheese, crunchy corners and crispy, toasted saltiness in the form of ham, sausage herbs or anchovies! Omg - anchovies, I haven’t tried anchovies yet and why on Earth not!? They are literally my favourite thing. I am now craving a pizza inspired toastie with olives, tomato, capers and anchovies! When’s lunch?? 🙌🏻 Also, do you think I could make a toastie with left over Christmas mince meat and serve it as dessert with a scoop of ice cream? Votes in comments please.. yes or no? Shall I try? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Going out to get takeaway coffee is such a thrill

Going out to get takeaway coffee is such a thrill these days. (Or in this case a rather yummy beetroot latte💗) Let’s face it, having the briefest conversation with someone other than those in your own household is a joy to behold. Thank you to all of the people I have spoken to this week other than Steve, and by all of the people I mean like 3. The lovely folk at @thepresshouseexeter and the lady in @zukiscaffetteria who gave me my latte for free because my loyalty card was full. Lord, I felt like I was winning at life in that moment I can tell you! 🤩

The prettiest of floofs, a socially distanced walk

The prettiest of floofs, a socially distanced walk with a chum, hot chocolate and fresh out of the oven cardamom buns. Not a bad Saturday morning I must say. 🐶

I love anything personalised and it’s even bette

I love anything personalised and it’s even better when you can eat it! You all know I love my food and proper bread with thick spread salted butter has got to be one of the simplest joys. Even better when the bread is still warm from the bakers oven and the butter begins to melt into the nooks and crannies of a well made sourdough. 🤤
At the end of last year the wonderful people at @st_sidwells started a crowdfunder to enable them to move to larger premises and so expand and offer more community driven projects. Alongside the bakery creating more amazing nutritious bread and affordable sweet and savoury treats, the cookery school will move into the new larger space too. I was one of 154 supporters who donated to the crowdfund to help make the move a reality and today I went to pick up my personalised loaf. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that the Bakehouse is now open on Sidwell Street just across the road from its old premises. If you fancy supporting a worthwhile business at this crazy time and beyond get your weekly loaf here. Not only are you supporting a local bakery but you are ensuring that people young and old, regardless of background or circumstance have access to fun and affordable cooking lessons. 🥨
