Sangria is one of those drinks which makes you feel like you’re on a summer vacation. You can use pretty much any fruit you like but, to me, strawberries add an extra summery feeling to the drink. Ingredients (serves 2, scale up as needed): 2 cups red wine 1 large orange 1/2 lemon 3-4 strawberries […]
The first few days into June I realized I’d made a mistake in choosing corn for the #monthlyveg. I just wasn’t inspired to cook with corn and I was subconsciously avoiding looking up recipes and finding excuses to put off making it part of tonight’s dinner. Nevertheless, corn has been chosen, and the whole point of […]
Strawberries & cream is a quintessential British, summertime dessert and it doesn’t really need anything adding to it. However, sometimes it’s nice to serve something that looks like you put in a bit more effort. This crepe cake certainly does that, while maintaining the simple freshness of flavor. It would work with other fruits too, why not […]
I’ve been wanting to try making frozen yogurt for a while but I don’t have an ice cream maker so I always avoided it. The other day I decided it was finally time to take the plunge. If it didn’t work then it didn’t work, at least I’d tried. I was inspired by the orange […]
A full English breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms and toast or fried bread) is one of my favorite meals. Pretty much anything with fried, soft-boiled or poached eggs in is one of my favorite meals but an English breakfast is delicious for so many other reasons too! I’ve been trying to […]
You may remember a while ago I put together a short recipe book for naturally sugar-free desserts. I really enjoyed working on it but after I’d finished it I just left it be and moved on to other things. Over the past few months I’ve had a lot of fun experimenting will all kinds of […]
My first real bread experiment went pretty well so I was excited to try again, but it’s a pretty time-consuming process so I had to wait for the right day. I’ve been wondering how to use up all my oregano since my little plant exploded this spring and I came across this recipe for oregano […]
I’m on a roll with the sweet stuff and I just can’t seem to stop myself! This lemon tart is a childhood favorite of mine that my mum used to make if we had guests. I stole the recipe from her when I moved out and have been making it for special occasions ever since. […]
I rarely say this but May actually felt like a month which went on for a really long time! Somehow, though, I still didn’t manage to try out that many #monthlyveg recipes. Still, the ones I did try were delicious, and many of them were so quick and easy I’ll definitely be cooking them on […]
Corn is pretty inescapable here in America. Government subsidies mean it ends up in practically everything in one form or another, so it ends up with a really bad reputation. But that’s no reason to avoid it. Sure, it may be pretty sugary as vegetables go but it is still a nutritious, fibrous vegetable and […]
