EasiYo Red – a New Yogurt Maker for an Easy Life: One of the few things I like for breakfast is yogurt. Generally I eat plain Greek yogurt with just a dash of honey or a handful of granola. It’s a simple start to the day. I suspect my liking for yogurt comes from childhood […]
Total Greek #Giveaway #TryTotal
Total Greek Easter Cooking and Giveaway: After the wonderful Fruyo launch and lunch at Corrigans, I was thrilled to be invited back a few days ago to learn a little more about cooking for Easter in Greece. Apart from learning how to cook a wonderful lunch with Total Greek Brand Ambassador Tonia Buxton, we also […]
Greek Yoghurt Stuffed Sea Bream and the 5:2 Diet #TryTotal #spon
A Greek Recipe for the 5:2 Diet and some Hellenic Memories: My first visit to Greece was a shock. I was on a Schools Cruise – in the 1970s some of the cruise liners used to rent out the space in the bows of the ship to school groups. We flew from London to Athens […]
Crunchy Raspberry Creams
Raspberry Creams with a Crunch: It is that time of year, when I don’t really want to cook too much. And, the start of the soft fruit season. I particularly love raspberries, probably a throwback to childhood when we seemed to always end up with a bird in the soft fruit cage that devoured the […]
Lemon and Yoghurt Scone Recipe
It’s a long time since I tried making scones. I can remember making batches of the things when I was in my teens because my mum, as doctor’s wife in a small town, was ‘volunteered’ to cater for the local tennis tournament each year (apparently the doctor’s wife ALWAYS did the catering!). It sounds trivial […]
A Taste of Summer – Oven Barbecued Chicken and Aubergine

The pairing of Aubergine (eggplant if you are American) and Chicken helps to give you that smokey barbecued flavour. […]
Fenland Celery Soup
Fenland Celery Soup with Apple I was sent a rather fabulous head of fenland celery the other day and so it’s fairly inevitable I have ended up making Fenland Celery Soup. But this isn’t just any old Fenland Celery Soup, this one is Fenland Celery Soup with Apple – a classic pairing that REALLY works. […]
Simple Mushroom Goulash
Perfect Comfort Food for a Cold Weather Vegetarian – Mushroom Goulash: It’s getting very wintery, instead of craving salads at lunchtime I want something warming like this spicy and simple mushroom goulash! This is a very easy vegetarian version of beef goulash that I made a few years ago. The original version didn’t have celery […]
Shrikhand – a Simple Indian Dessert
Simple Indian Dessert – Shrikhand I’ve recreated this from a classic Indian dessert recipe for Shrikhand that we were shown by Anjum Anand at Food Blogger Connect this year. There are some cheats…I’ve used Total Greek Yoghurt rather than straining my own and I used honey rather than sugar because I prefer the flavour. […]
