Between work, singing and this allegedly-healthy global walking challenge, I seem to be in a constant state of exhaustion at present, which is not conducive to blog posts. It doesn’t help that I’m so tired I’m actually following recipes at…

Recipe: Mushroom Risotto, Three Ways
Hello! Have you missed me? I’ve missed you! Unfortunately, I’ve been rather overwhelmed with work and other commitments of late, which is not conducive to creative cooking (though I do make a mean pasta bake in these circumstances. Repeatedly.). Anyway,…
Recipe: Chicken in a Pot with Artichoke and Aioli
This recipe fills me with delight. Really, the reason I bought a slow cooker was to be able to have something cooking all afternoon that would make the house smell wonderful. Well, I had to go out to the shops…
Recipe: Preserved Kumquats (an unfinished tale)

Recipe: Drained Yoghurt (Labneh)
I’m not sure you can call something with exactly one ingredient a recipe, per se, but this is a really useful thing to know about, very easy, and a basis for all sorts of yummy things. This is basically a…
Recipe: Decidedly Un-Roman Cherry, Date and Cacao Balls
I have a friend who is allergic to quite a few things, with nuts and eggs being at the top of the list. She’s always terribly apologetic about this and tells me not to cook for her (fat chance), which…
