I haven’t posted in almost a month which to be honest isn’t all that unusual at this time of year. I had 2 weeks off work and had no intention of turning on a laptop during this time. We didn’t go anywhere but spent really gorgeous days doing walks and playing tourist near home. […]
Now there’s a mouthful of a recipe title for you. I have been meaning to post this recipe for Coconut and Lime Pulled Chicken with Kimchi Style Slaw for quite a while now.

My love for cauliflower knows no bounds. This isn’t me jumping on a bandwagon, I’ve been a big fan for a long time as these previous posts will show. I love roasting cauliflower as it brings out a nutty flavour to the veg. Roasting it whole is even better again, you get more of […]
