It’s still courgette or zucchini season here for another while yet. If you grow them yourself you probably have more than you know what to do with. They are such a versatile vegetable and can be cooked in so many ways. I love them cooked until almost caramelised, like these Courgettes with Whipped Feta. I’ve […]
Ratatouille, now there’s a blast from the past! My mother used to make this regularly in the 80s when it was fashionable and I thought it was so fancy. She used a recipe from a huge Marguerite Patten cookbook that she got as a wedding present.
Risotto is one of my favourite foods to make. I think of it as an indulgent treat to stand mindlessly stirring dinner to switch off from the day and the result is a creamy delicious treat.

This is another recipe that has been languishing in my drafts folder for quite a while. Inspired by a recipe I made while working in Roots, I have been playing around with these fritters for quite some time. I finally settled on this recipe here and when catering for a party earlier this year […]
I gave myself a little break from the blog last week. It was only when I logged back in last night that I realised the blog is now five years old! You’ve no idea what an achievement this is for me, I never stick at a hobby for a long time. It was also my […]
