I know I know, its January and we are all supposed to be super healthy, but life is too short. And what am I supposed to do when I have extra double cream in the fridge? I can’t let it go to waste. That would be wrong. There is something very satisfying about a Victoria…

The Great Yorkshire Pudding
The big day is nearly here! Are you ready to make an epic Christmas dinner? It’s the best part of the day and what would it be without homemade, fresh and crisp Yorkshire puddings! I think a great roast dinner has to be served with the best roast potatoes and the best vegetables. I also think…
Chinese steamed buns…yum!
It’s the best time of the year again! For me, Christmas is a time to try lots of different recipes and push the boat out. Whether you are having family and friends over or simply want to have a special dinner before the big day, I think trying something new is great fun. Chinese steamed…
Blueberries…a tasty topping!

Herbs! Glorious herbs!
So I have recently started growing my own herbs in the garden (and when I say this I mean my mother in law is looking after them for me. I can’t even look after dried flowers) and I’ve been using them in my cooking more and more. I never realised just how much of a…
Homemade Chicken Kiev…Yum!
So tonight’s dinner was homemade chicken kiev and I have to say it was much better than a processed one. Yes it takes a little bit more time but its worth it! I’ve seen so many chefs make it in so many different ways, but this is what works for me. I make my own garlic…
Homemade Onion Bhaji’s
So I’ve been building up my portfolio and for me that means more cooking! I decided to stick to my roots and cook something from my background. So I thought what does everyone love to eat? The British tend to love onion bhaji’s so I thought I’d give it a go. I didn’t realise just…
