Let’s start off with the following: none of my posts are sponsored by anyone or anything. Only a fool would sponsor me to tell bad puns and write footnotes about how great my wife is.* However, should any rich fool wish to sponsor me, I have only the morals I can afford. Hit me up. Anyway,…
Cakes What I Have Made
This is not a post about how to make cakes good, like what I do*. This is a post about cakes gone by, whose fluffy centres and creamy outsides have long since forged a path through the digestive tracts of my friends and family. Which, when I read it back, sounds kind of gross –…
Balsamic Onion, Goat Cheese & Samphire Tart
What is samphire? Good question! Samphire is something that we ate raw straight off the rain-soaked salt marshes of some place in the arse-end of nowhere whilst on some kind of Geography trip, when we were but knee-high to a grasshopper and wanted nothing more than to stand in the rain eating strange vegetables. English…
Gettin’ Hitched
Hello all! Unless we are alien to one another on any and all social media platforms, you will know that I got super married recently — it was kind of a big deal. Rings were exchanged; a fancy picnic was consumed; one of my relatives inevitably caused themselves an injury on the bouncy castle*. What a…
Keto Burrito
I literally only started this post because I find the title overwhelmingly satisfying to say. Keto Burrito. Nice. Recently I’ve been a bit lacklustre in my attempts to lose weight, maintain weight, tone up, treat my body right, eat anything not deep-fried and smothered in chocolate… and so on. I have been enjoying a life of fruit…
Aubergine Katsu Curry with Turmeric Rice
Something that everyone seems to be completely obsessed with at the moment, regardless of whether or not they have any other intersecting interests, is Katsu curry. I am not immune to its charms, even though I’m more likely to associate curry with Indian food rather than Japanese cuisine. Additionally, I generally find that (since money…
Vegan Tea-Infused Chocolate Tart
As a celebration of our kitchen being (basically) stocked and ready to go, I decided I wanted to make something hecka fancy. Is there anything fancier than a tart? Arguably, a torte, but let’s not split hairs. Another question: there anything fancier than an earl grey-infused chocolate tart??? I mean, probably. I reckon Ottolenghi’s got me beat…
When will I cook again?
Perhaps never! Who knows? Actually, I know; it’s not never, but it might not be until later this week. I’ve been a little busy… BUYING A FREAKING HOUSE. The dream is a reality, friends! As you can imagine, I’ve been dining mainly on takeaway and things I can grab from the local Co-Op — not…
Sometimes… things don’t go as planned
Last week I took it upon myself to try and make Butternut Mac & Cheese, in a vain and ultimately disastrous attempt to make the classically grease-laden dish healthy. Why? Because I wanted pasta and cheese sauce something fierce, but unfortunately my wedding dress doesn’t quite zip all the way up yet — and also because my…
Roasted Balsamic Tomato & Basil Risotto
I’ve been really off-track with my eating recently, although I can’t be mad about that given the fantastic bank holiday weekend I just enjoyed. Spa day with my best gals, a copious number of Life-Changing Tacos, and more wine than any of us would really care to admit to having consumed, for fear of tarnishing…
