Looks pretty, doesn’t it? If I do say so myself. But this dish is the culinary equivalent of Spanx. Takes something boring, lumpy and not quite up to scratch and transforms it into a red carpet beauty.
Yes, I’m comparing a dish to knickers. It must be the sun here...

This was another
Pinterest-inspired recipe, and yes, I know I need to get some help to wean myself off that thing. It’s just so full of ideas I’d like to have had, uber-cool people I’d like to know, and glamourous, stylish lives I'd like to lead. It's...

Yep, I know, far too many ingredients. What happened was that I got a notion for Butternut Squash soup, and then when googling images on how best to present it, found this topping. And I just so happened to have those ingredients in...

Here's a blast from last year's past - my Shrove Tuesday posts. Who'd have thunk I've passed a year blogging already?!! Time flies when you're having fun :)

Well I finally have my new kitchen. And new house. And new mortgage, and new bills, and new government charges, but we'll concentrate on the good news :)
When the
champagne prosecco (it is 2012 after all) bottles finally went in the bin, the wobbly Christmas tree came...

I can't believe we're here already. Somehow I blinked and the 'summer' has disappeared, to be replaced by dull, dreary, dishwater skies. Yes, winter's here and as you can tell I'm far from enthused at its arrival. This week I've been eating warming soup for supper, nursing endless cups...

We love pizzas in our house. Mercifully, Dominoes is too far away and there is no Milanos to be found. Thank the Lord. Instead, I have begun to make my own. Well, kind of. I say ‘kind of’ because I did try to make my own bases before, and...
