Apologies in advance to any Italians who stumble across my blog, this is not a traditional carbonara. I’ve been making different versions of Spaghetti Carbonara for over 20 years. When I first met himself, it was his favourite dinner. Being keen to impress I used to make it fairly regularly. But that version of carbonara […]
While I don’t wan’t to talk about bloody c*v*d, we started the new year in isolation. Not the best start to 2022 but thankfully we were both fine, bored but fine. As part of the endless cooking that happened for the week, I made this Baked Eggs with Beans again. We were lucky to get […]
I think what I’ll miss most about working from home when we return to the office is lunch. Soup and reheated leftovers are great and all, but I have really enjoyed experimenting with tasty quick lunches. Apart from Things on Toast, eggs have featured heavily.

I’m squishing this recipe in on the last day of July just to hop on the end of the Ice Cream Month bandwagon. And also to get a nice chocolate recipe up for the month. You can make these as a great treat for kids but my version uses dark chocolate which may be more […]
Crab and pasta is not a new concept. In fact, I think there are recipes in at least three of my cookbooks for some form of crab linguine. From Nigella Summer to the River Cafe Cookbook there is some combination of crab meat, pasta, chilli and lemon. The flavours are great together and it is […]
