As you may already know, my favourite food magazine is Delicious Magazine. I have been subscribing to it for years and every month when I come home from work and see it lying by my front door, I still get a frisson of excitement. Every issue is jam-packed full of…
Macaroni cheese is the ultimate comfort food, the perfect dish to keep you feeling warm and cosy on a cold night. Now that the clocks have gone back, British Summer Time has been brought to an official end, and there is a distinct chill in the air. Now is the…
The other day I was sitting on the tube on my way home from work and started thinking about burgers. It’s all I could think about. Soon enough my tummy was rumbling and all I wanted to at was a burger. So as soon as I got off the tube,…
London is enjoying a heat wave at the moment. A prolonged one. In fact, anyone outside of the UK might even call it ‘summer’, however those of us that live here never dare mention the word as we rarely get a summer. Every year we wait and we hope and…
Earlier this week, my lovely friend and colleague Sal mentioned she was looking to get a pasta maker. I jumped up in a slightly over-excited manner and said I had been wanting to get a pasta maker for ages and that we should both get one that day. We started…

Recently, a few of my friends have pointed out that perhaps my diet is a little too rich, and it might be worth my while trying to reign it in a bit. I admit, I do love my rich foods. I love butter and cream and pate and pastry…basically anything that isn’t…
Risotto is not a dish I’ve particularly warmed to in the past. I’ve always found it a bit stodgy and samey, but then I tried the saffron and bone marrow risotto at Ristorante Semplice in Mayfair…wow! It was stunning. But then I didn’t want to order risotto from anywhere else…
I saw this recipe whilst flicking through the December issue of Delicious Magazine a couple of weeks ago and decided to make it for my party last week. I had so much food prepared for the party I didn’t actually think this would get eaten so I left it whole…
