Helloooooo! Isn’t this weather outrageous, it really is starting to feel like the seasons have changed, (yesterday I even went for my first swim, brief but fabulous) long may it last – I don’t know about you, but the idea that summer, Christmas and the end of 2020 are not far away is pretty bloody […]
‘Cos everyone needs a curry at least once during lockdown! For this one I have teamed up with my mates at Silver Fern Farms to create a super-easy slow-cooked beef curry, using their delicious Beef Brisket. I don’t know what it is about curries – they just seem like the ultimate, tasty, belly-filling delicious answer […]
Goooood morning and welcome to my Beef Brisket extravaganza…but first, crikey, life is a constant changing beast isn’t it? When I first moved into my new house in May last year, I thought of it as my ‘single-chick’ abode, small and easy-care, close to great bars and restaurants etc etc. It was bloody perfect while […]
OK so I know it wasn’t thaaaat long ago that I posted a chocolate brownie recipe, but these babies are designed to keep you pepped up for late, long sessions watching the rugby…I’m so amped for the quarter-finals, and much as I love the Irish, I really am hoping the ABs have a fabulous, decisive […]
Hellooooooo – remember me? Probs not, and I don’t blame you, it has been a goodly while! Crikey, I hardly know where to start. So, as you know I have been editor at Dish magazine for four months now, and in that time, as well as getting busy with the job, I have been down […]

Well by crikey, as you know my last few weeks have been wildly, crazily busy…but so bloody good, I feel like I need to pinch myself to make sure it is all real. I am writing this in the office of my new home, music playing, sun filtering in the window and I can’t get […]
As I sit here with my house packed up around me, waiting for a dear mate and one of my darling nephews to come and give me a hand, I thought it would be a good idea to say ‘hi’…it might be a week or more before you hear from me again! This recipe is […]
Lordy, lordy, lordy it’s been a busy few weeks…but first the brownie. They are made with sultanas that have been soaked over-night in port, loads of intense dark chocolate and beautifully rich Dutch cocoa powder – the result is the most fabulously indulgent brownie ever. And moist? (Yup I said it). They are indeed. To […]

Lordy lordy I have one epic recipe for you today! It is the second in my current collaboration with Castello and utilises their absolutely outrageous Castello Double Cream Truffle Brie and involves salty pancetta, sweet onion, earthy mushrooms, soft pillowy gnocchi, and a crumbling of walnuts…but seriously the thing that makes it so decadent is […]
Well good morning and happy Wednesday! Today’s recipe is such a treat to share, and part of my latest collaboration with the good people at Castello – a super easy, totally decadent and delicious puff pastry tart loaded with sweet caramelised onions, luscious figs, cured prosciutto and melted Castello Double Cream Brie.
