I’m not the biggest fan of cheesecake, so I won’t be waxing lyrical about this recipe. As cheesecakes go though, it’s a real good’un. The addition of mint and balsamic stop it from being one-dimensional creaminess, and turn it into something a bit more sophisticated and interesting. It’s a Fiona Cairns (of royal wedding cake-maker [...]

If I could only eat one other food type for the rest of my life, then it’d have to be ice cream (seeing as this is a metaphorical question, I’m ignoring the very real health implications of this decision). It’s always been my favourite – the ultimate ‘treat food’. Whether gelato, frozen yoghurt, sorbet, shop-bought [...]

Did you know that evidence of rain dances can be found in the history of people from the Ancient Egyptians to Native Americans? The ritual developed independently in tribes around the world who thought that if they had a good old jig then it might coax rain to come and water their harvests. Oh how [...]

It’s round this time of year that my mother is in the midst of a fruit-induced madness. It starts with raspberries, then strawberries, then redcurrants…then just as it’s beginning to wane, it’s the blackcurrants, blackberries, then apples… She gets up at odd hours in the morning to pick fruit, she can’t go on a summer [...]

Click here to vote for this recipe in the Real Food Challenge - so far it only has 1 rating…and that was me…and I clicked 1* by mistake. Darn. When it’s a Saturday night and some of your gal pals are round for a slumber party, a chocolate-based pudding is a must. I love this [...]
Pavlova

If I could only eat one thing forever, pavlova would definitely rank in my top three (along with cheese and ice cream – I couldn’t possibly choose my favourite among them – it wouldn’t be fair.) It’s easy to make, it always looks spectacular, and I am yet to meet anybody who doesn’t like a [...]
Using my last tub of beetroot: Beetroot Ice Cream

Okay – so I know that I’ve gone a bit over the top with beetroot recently, but as I mentioned in an earlier post, there’s a 3 for 2 offer on tubs of beetroot at the Tesco’s down the road, so I had my ‘get one free’ pot to use up. A friend mentioned earlier [...]

I’ve got a thing about eating off big plates. Weird. My plates are so hopelessly big they don’t fit in the dishwasher or the cupboard. I came up with a cunning plan though, and bought an enormous plate rack off ebay, which would have all been very well if I’d been competent enough to attach [...]
