So I tried the sticky lamb chops from Kathryn’s website. They were very tasty and the honey foamed satisfyingly in the pan. I think for me and Dippity they were a little sweet and I’d probably halve the honey next time. The boys loved them. Oh yeah. And I forgot to add the spring onions.

I went down to rowing this morning… It was my daughter’s first day and I’m down to help with the breakfast next week so I thought I should find out what I was supposed to do. Dippity emerged dripping and happy. As a first timer she was in a single scull (is that what they [...]

Following my melt-down yesterday, your fabulous support, my gorgeous family helping out, my lovely friend taking me out, and some successful Christmas shopping yesterday, I have recovered. It was weird. I haven’t felt like that before. Completely overwhelmed I was. But enough about that, you want to hear about the [...]

Isn’t bolognese the easiest thing to cook? It’s my go to dish when I really can’t be bothered. The kids will eat it – it doesn’t take long or too many ingredients. Well the other night my son walked past me as I was chopping up the onion and I thought – hey – he [...]

I am well behind the rest of the world on this one. The NY Times unveiled the No Knead Bread recipe on the 8th November 2006 and I have only today found time to make it. Well yesterday and today. The trick is allowing the dough time to rise – 18 hours – and I [...]

Let me share with you Groover’s delicious recipe for beef casserole that he made up himself taking inspiration from several recipes. It is perfect for a wet wintry day and very rich. The idea is to get it started in the morning and then go away and leave it. Come back for an evening meal [...]

Ingredients: 1 onion 1 clove garlic 1 jar of tomato pasta sauce (chopped tomatoes in a can is a cheaper alternative) 1 thick slice of pancetta (bacon would be fine) Kalamata [...]
