Although it may not feel as though spring has really arrived yet here in Wales, thankfully the damp & colder weather hasn’t had too much of an impact on our seasonal favourites. The market is still awash with colour & as we wait for the warmer sun of summer & the rainbow that it brings, …
As my poor KitchenAid sits proudly on the kitchen top, gleaming, begging to be used, & at least 3 Amazon deliveries of cookbooks have made their way to cookbook corner, their pages eagerly awaiting a dusting of flour & a splash of batter, alas I have not had the time or energy to commit this …
Usually at this time of year two things happen, firstly I find myself with an awful lot of wild garlic butter after hitting the woods hard already & secondly, the weather is generally a bit cheerier than it has been for the beginning of spring in 2021. It’s the combination of these two things that …
Every now & then, I find myself craving simpler, uncomplicated foods. Granted this isn’t often when it comes to something like cake… I adore the weird & wonderful possibilities far too much, but sometimes, you need to take a step back & enjoy the simplicity of the basics.

Ready-made garlic bread is often made with margarine, stuffed full of unpronounceable preservatives & throw in some chopped, flavourless parsley purely for aesthetics. Garlic is …
It’s that time of year where everything that comes out of my kitchen has a tinge or side of green & everything smells like garlic (breath included). We’re in one of my favourite times of the year, wild garlic season. I love the flavour of these pungent leaves so much, so I do tend to …
Spring has sprung & the bluebells are out… that can only mean one thing, it’s time to dust off your foraging hat & get outdoors. Granted that’s a little easier said than done this year due to Covid but nonetheless, we can each get out & about for short little foraging walk each day & …
I’m sure I don’t need to tell you about the joys of a good cheesecake… it’s super simple to throw together, it can be made well in advance, it feeds a crowd & it’s a real crowd pleaser of a dessert. Be it baked, chilled, or crustless, who can resist a bit of cheesecake? But …
