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…

Pestle and Mortar…a great kitchen gadget!
First of all I have to apologise for not posting for a while, I have started a new job and it’s keeping me very busy! I was enjoying my Sunday off and preparing my roast chicken for a lazy evening and pulled out my pestle and mortar. I thought I would blog about this because…
Why not make your own Granola bar?
Ok so I don’t know about you but I am always hungry. I get hungry half an hour after a meal and I have no idea why. But I can’t keep eating! So I decided to make my own granola bar to give me some energy and keep me going. These are made with oats,…

How crispy is your homemade pizza?
Ok so I have always battled with my homemade pizza and can never get it as crispy as I want. Who doesn’t love thin Italian style pizzas with a crisp crust and delicious fresh ingredients? But it’s very difficult to make it without a fancy stone baked oven or a hunky Italian chef. Without filling…
