For the love of food
Happy Valentine’s Day! Are you celebrating today? I’ve always been torn at Valentine’s Day. I don’t like the idea of spending heaps of money on the day but I do like the thought of making a little bit of extra special effort for the one you love. You know I usually do that through food. [...]
Do you remember the wedding scene in Love Actually? The one where the friend organises a surprise rendition of ‘All you need is love‘? Here’s a little snippet to jog your memory. My friend Sarah commented once when we were much much younger that she’d love that at her wedding. Of course I stashed her [...]

I didn’t plan my Valentine’s dinner menu until last night (but it’s going to be fantastic!) and have some serious cooking to do today. If [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day! Last week I thought it might be interesting to dig through my kitchen and see what sort of love-related cooking and baking ware I could find. Well, I didn’t realise I had such a thing for hearts. So much so that I had enough for a photo shoot. Can you tell I’m [...]
I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a cynical love-hater, I just don’t like how commercial the 14th of February has become. The price of a box of chocolates skyrockets and you practically have to mortgage your house to buy a dozen roses and for what? I think [...]
