I started doing my grocery shopping online a couple of years ago. Looking back, I can’t believe I spent so much time traipsing up and down those aisles, queuing up at the till, running back to the far end of the supermarket because I’d forgotten something, then packing everything up, driving…
I absolutely adore aubergines. I could eat them every day, and often do. I’m always on the lookout for new recipes for them. A recent discovery was Sabrina Ghayour‘s incredible recipe for Kashk-e-Bedemjan – aubergines with caramelised onions and whey. It BLEW MY MIND! You can find the recipe for…
After weeks of gorging on copious amounts of cheese, chocolate, cake, burgers, pastry, Christmas dinner, roast potatoes, bacon wrapped dates, Eggs Royale and more cheese in the run up to and over Christmas… …my body felt the need for some clean and healthy foods. I hated feeling so sluggish and…
Its March and its cold. So cold. I’m fed up with the cold now, it seems to be going on forever! I long to feel the sun on my face but I fear that may be a long way off. In terms of food, we’re now in what’s known as…
Its February and the weather is a bit grim. If I wasn’t training for this bleedin marathon I’d be hibernating along with the rest of the country. Unfortunately I am spending most of my evenings battling against the freezing cold wind, telling myself it will all be over soon. Luckily,…
Its January…a new year begins and I’m sure many of you are thinking that a new you will emerge. Christmas parties, dinners, mulled wine, mince pies, champagne, cake, pudding, chocolate (the list goes on and on…) will have taken their toll and most people will be starting to crave eating…
Well here it is, December, my favourite month of the year…I must admit, I do get slightly over-excited in the run up to Christmas and for me it all starts on 1st December. Every year I spend 1st December on the hunt for my perfect Christmas tree. Once that’s up, the…
So Halloween is over and the countdown to Christmas begins. How does it come about so quickly?! When the weather starts getting colder, we all tend to go into hibernation mode and crave comfort food. Luckily, this is the season for comfort food. Root vegetables are at their best and…
I love this time of year. The landscape changes from green to golden amber, a carpet of leaves is now laid out for everyone to walk and crunch through and the sun is low in the sky. It’s stunning. I do feel lucky to live in a country where we get proper…
Well, here it is…September. When I started writing this post, I was in Scotland, visiting my family, and it looked like Summer had been side-stepped and Autumn had begun. I was tapping away on my laptop, wrapped up in a jumper I’d just bought (yes, I’m already shopping for jumpers)…
After a rather soggy June and July, I’m delighted that August is finally delivering some sun. As I type this, the sun is streaming through my livingroom window and it looks like its going to be a beautiful day. Pity I have to go to work in an hour! Considering…
Well, its July and its supposed to be Summer. Looking out the window, you could debate that! June was the wettest June in the UK since rainfall records began in 1910! It wasn’t only wet, it was cold and dull. We’re now in the first week of July and the…
