Prawn, Fennel & Bacon Linguine Recently my Son and his beautiful girlfriend have moved home to save for a deposit on a house. My other son moved out and we had two weeks of decreased bills and empty nester bliss, just enough time to not get used to it. Since...
I have a very close friend that lives in NYC and we recently spent a couple of weeks together with our other girlfriends from High School to celebrate half century birthdays (theirs, not mine……yes, I’m rubbing it in). She was telling me how popular...
Hey There! It has been a really long time since I posted a new recipe as I have been somewhat laid up with a severely busted left wing. I decided this Mexican Meatball recipe was a really good one to post for my comeback as with the ever rising cost of living, one...
This is not just Ras El Hanout Roast Chicken. No siree. This is Ras El Hanout Roast Chicken and potatoes, dripping in a sweet & tangy marmalade, olive, parsley and preserved lemon butter and topped with a sharp, sumac & red onion pickle. This is also recipe...
I love a good cheese platter and it is often my go to when entertaining but truth be told, I’m a little bored with it. I found a recipe in a Gourmet Traveller magazine for a warm Fennel & Ash Brie dip and just knew I had to try it. To make it more festive...

I had me a serious hankering for slow cooked pork last week and this jogged my memory of a Jamie Oliver recipe I cooked many years ago. I did a little investigating, only to find that it was no longer on his website but I did find many renditions of it, cooked by...
Soup season is upon us and that makes me excited! I just love a good hearty soup full of meat & veg and the options are endless. This Mexican Meatball & Black Bean version is no exception and is deemed to be a family winter favourite. The tender spiced...
Recently, my Husband read ‘Toxic’ by prize winning author Richard Flanagen. While he was reading it he also read it largely to me and it is a book about the devastating facts of Salmon Farming in the waters off the coast and in the harbours of the...
I just love me a good, healthy, low carb meal that is easy to make and tastes sensational. This Eggplant Lasagne ticked absolutely every box and it makes a large lasagne so we had lunch the next day and even some left over to freeze. You seriously do not miss the...
I had a little Middle Eastern inspired dinner party last weekend and true to form, I had too many bubbles and forgot to photograph the main event. It happens Every. Single. Time. I will be making the main event again as it was a divine Spiced Lamb Backstrap with...
