My diet has changed quite dramatically recently. I’m not sure when or even if I will return to how I was eating last year and I’m well aware the name of my blog doesn’t match how I’m eating at the moment, so for the time being I’m looking for healthier…
On Friday night, I had the pleasure of attending Bread Ahead‘s mince pie masterclass, courtesy of my friend Felicity. Bread Ahead is a bakery and school set up by Matt Jones (founder of Flour Power), situated in the heart of Borough Market, London. Together with co-owner Justin Gellatly (former Head Baker at St…
I’m not usually a fan of flapjacks. Generally I think they’re a waste of calories. They look deceptively healthy and yet they’re usually full of fat and if I’m going to eat something like that I’d rather it involved chocolate. However, the last time I was at home visiting my…
Every month I look forward to the new issue of Delicious Magazine landing at my front door, and this month was no exception. It was jam-packed full of amazing Autumnal recipes and this recipe in particular caught my eye. I have never heard of sweet potato pone before but reading chef Shivi…

I am a huge fan of Ina Garten. HUGE. I love her. At times I almost feel like she’s my flatmate, she’s on my TV so much! I have written about my love of her before so I wont drone on about her again. It was just to say that I…
I have a lot recipe books in my flat. A LOT! I have bookshelves full of them in my spare room, I have shelves being weighed down in my living room by them, I have piles of them on various tables around my flat. I even have a pile of…
Last week my friend Nick emailed me asking how much I wanted a Nutella book. My answer? A LOT! I found it on Amazon, it arrived the next day and flicking through it, I wanted to make everything. The easiest recipe, and one which I knew I had all the…
