Courgette (Zucchini) and Pea Soup
This is a fabulous, green and vibrant soup – perfect if you have a couple of courgettes hanging about and not much else.
Salt and Vinegar Popcorn
Big S has been really unwell this weekend, so she gets to eat what she wants when she wants – sometimes any food is good.
Chocoholic Chocolate Cupcakes
These are the perfect cupcake if you like chocolate, and I mean REALLY like chocolate! Rich, chocolatey and decadent – think Austrian chocolate Sacher-torte rather than super super sweet cupc…
Toffee Popcorn
My success with a rather delicious salt and vinegar popcorn recipe has spurred me on try some others….
Warning: Ecover Camomile Washing Up Liquid contains milk
I was alerted to this rather surprising fact the other day.
Festival Fun
So we’ve dragged Big S off the sofa a bit earlier than we should to spend the weekend at a local festival….
Roasted Green Bean Salad
The next few days will be spent recovering from the festival (I know it was only one night but we made the critical mistake of forgetting it gets extremely cold at 3am, and so didn’t really s…
Coconut Macaroons

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
I came across a photo of cookie bars on the internet the other day and decided to give them a whirl.
Strawberry Cheesecake
To end my 4th July special supper (I know it’s taken a while to post!) I eventually decided upon Big S’s favourite, Strawberry Cheesecake.
Veggie Salade Niçoise for Bastille Day
It’s the 14th July, Bastille Day in France so a French lunch was needed.
Shallot and Mustard Dressing/Vinaigrette
This is a stone-cold classic French vinaigrette (I did learn the recipe at Le Cordon Bleu after all) and it will bring most salads to life.
Strawberry and Almond Bear Paws
Another type of frangipane (I do have a lot of uses for my egg-free frangipane) filled French style pastry, although I’m not sure they look too much like real bear paws! This time with added …
Sweetcorn Chowder
It’s still wet and miserable and feels more like October than July, so soup seemed more appropriate than salads and picnics.
