I should really end that heading with nibbles but instead I leave it blank because this combination goes so well with so many things. We had it with poached salmon on raw dressed spinach, rice noodles and stir fried veg, chicken, fish. You could really use the chutney in place of most other …
It has been a while again, mainly because there has been so much going on. Today I am looking through a window at torrential rain, and apart from the leak which we have discovered (window is new), it is glorious. Right now the rain is aiming at the window so I feel as …
This morning I am a zombie. Last night I ridiculously for no apparent reason woke up at 1a.m. after falling asleep really quickly a couple of hours before!

Today I was asked for ‘those yummy chewy cookies’ and I really couldn’t remember … so that is where this blog comes into action. The reason I started this in the first place was because of being chaotic and forgetting recipes so for my own benefit I started this because I would not be able …
Any fruit will do – the point really is the crumble topping. We really missed crumble at the beginning of being gluten free and now we don’t. (I am making it sound as if we eat this all the time – it is an occasional treat!) Only Olivia and I are gluten free and the …
Happy VE Day!

One of few veg I can guarantee Mats will eat (he is 11), is broccoli. Over enthusiastic about how much he may consume, I had enough leftover for a whole other family lockdown sitting.
