Irish Country Rhubarb Cake looks much more like a pie than it does a cake and for good reason – when you get to the instructions it tells you to have a deep tin or pie dish which means it’s actually a pie and boy oh boy what a pie it is!! I can’t even...
As the long days draw ever shorter and the air swirls just a little cooler with each passing evening, it becomes evident that the golden days of summer are getting ever nearer their end and with that comes the bounty of zucchini and corn…a pair that don’t seem to be matched often, but these two...
Most people do not even know how to breathe without inhaling their first cup of coffee and for a non drinker like myself, the initial reaction of most is to say “oh you’re a tea drinker”, with my usual response of no surprising them. Yet, here we are with another coffee recipe because it is...
It’s Strawberry and Rhubarb Pie season friends and things are exciting! Keeping quiet during the weekend to go as full on crazy during the week isn’t something that happens…ever! I certainly have never turned down plans on the weekend so I have money to go out during a weeknight…but one of my best friends coming...
A few recipes on here are time consuming, but those finicky ones, where you need to have read the recipe three times to know exactly what you are doing are usually the ones where you sit back and go “wow, I made that!?”. Baklava is definitely like that. In fact, I could barely believe my...

When your a kid at the dinner table (especially a nineties kid or earlier) your parents would have used the old adage of “eat what’s on your plate or you get nothing.” So after the Full House credits rolled and we all sat down at the table for another dinner I was usually greeted with...
Monday night involved a lot of eye rolling induced by amazing food and it all happened thirty eight floors above London as the rain lashed at the windows and the golden tree swayed in the wind at Sushi Samba. After excitedly waiting three weeks for our booking on a Monday of all days to roll...
A cherry galettte might seem like the least appropriate way to use this fruit with it’s short season, however, after much consideration it was the most appropriate option changing this recipe from cherry hand pies to a galette is a much quicker and less fussier option.
