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 […]
chilli, orange, & white choc brownies
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 […]

very naughty chocolate steamed pudding
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 […]
port-soaked sultana & dark chocolate brownie
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.

summer kumara & chicken tart with tomato & corn salad
Happy Friday! I was going to call this a picnic tart and salad, but given the weather forecast for the weekend I won’t…let’s call it a summer harvest tart instead? Personally I can’t wait for a bit of wild, wet weather, lovely as the summer sun has been, it’s just about at ‘too much of […]
