For the love of food
Chewy, no-bake biscuits crusted with coconut and topped with a smooth, rich, chocolate ganache finished with a dusting of desiccated coconut. Sounds mouth-watering doesn’t it? It sounds like something you could only have one of because they must be seriously naughty. It would appear that if you have a lack of self control when it [...]
Have you ever seen such a magnificent spread? I haven’t been to many first Birthday parties but I think this may be the prettiest I will ever see. I arrived an hour an a half before the party was to start. Both girls were asleep and Sarah and her mum were calmly putting the finishing [...]
‘I don’t care what mine looks like just please…. give me some food!’ To some, this may seem demanding and rude but sometimes in my house it’s acceptable. On this particular occasion, Will had been at golf since 6am. I’d told him that I was making a special lunch so he wasn’t to eat at [...]
We’re leaving Morocco today and hitting the high seas. Head to the port at Tangir, in the north of Morocco, jump on the ‘fast ferry’ and 2 hours later you will find yourself in the land of senoritas and paella . There are a some similarities between Spanish and Moroccan food, the two countries being [...]

I can’t remember the last time the weather looked as good as this on Easter Sunday. I know it’s a bad habit but I check my phone when I wake up, perusing all my social networks and clearing my junk mail ready to tackle the day when I sit down at my desk. On Sunday, [...]
I should have written this yesterday. If I had written it yesterday I could have told you that I was sitting at the table at mum and dad’s place looking out at the ocean, feeling the warmth of the sun on my face. Writing it today I can still tell you that I’m sitting at [...]
For at least a week I had the same after work routine. Come home, change into something more comfortable then mix up another batch of flour and water and carefully apply the newspaper strips to my craft project. What was it you ask? It was a piñata, but not just any piñata, a penis piñata for my friend Sarah’s [...]
Where do ideas come from? I like to think of myself as pretty creative. Sometimes I surprise myself with the ideas that I come up with but there’s not really a rhyme or reason to it. The ideas, they come out of left field 99% of the time. Guaranteed to give me an inspiration block [...]
I know I know, another chocolate cake but before you close the page close your eyes. Actually open your eyes and read this then close your eyes and imagine this. You pick up your fork and raise it to touch the top of the glossy icing. As you press gently you meet no resistance from [...]
It was a tough decision trying to pick a recipe for such a momentous occasion as my grandma’s 95th Birthday. She is the woman from whom I got my sweet tooth (I think) and a lover of all things baked, chocolatey and cake-like. I regularly take her baked goodies so this had to be something extra special. [...]
I was deliberating over which dip to buy when an older lady asked for assistance. ‘Would you mind helping me?’ she asked. ‘Of course not, how can I help?’ She’d forgotten her glasses and wanted to make sure she was buying the avocado dip with the highest percentage of avocado so asked me to read [...]
