Hello! It’s been a while!
I hope you’ve all been well and enjoying the last few weeks! I know I’ve been a little bit absent in posting, but I promise I’ve got the best reasons…. Continue reading
A Few Favourites and Future Plans
Food
Brunch at mó bistró
What’s your go-to brunch dish?
I’m pretty sure mine is always an eggs benny or a pile of pancakes. Luckily, mó bistró has both, so it’s the perfect brunch destination for me! Continue reading
Cranberry & Amaretto Christmas Cocktail
Star-Topped Christmas Chocolate Biscuits
The Best Roast Potatoes
Roast potatoes are life.
They’re the best food in the whole wide world and I cannot even think about having Christmas (or any Sunday lunch or roast dinner) without them. I normally like to allow myself about 10 to eat (just me) so I would usually make a lot! I have to have these babies year round, whatever the weather, whatever the season. I genuinely love them that much. Continue reading
Delicious Homemade Gifts
If you’re not sure that you want to go out and buy gifts for everyone this year, why not make them instead?
Something homemade is perfect to give to a host of a party, have your children make for friends or their teacher, or even to give to everyone in your family on the big day. And after all, who doesn’t love a gift they can eat?
Cheese & Lingonberry Parcels
I feel like cheese is the most wonderful accompaniment to Christmas.
And when it’s all melty and paired with something sweet or fruity, it’s even better. Think cheddar with chutney or manchego with quince. Continue reading

Unlimited sandwiches, sweet treats and cups of tea is a joyful experience in itself, but having it with a Christmas theme goes another step further. Continue reading
Cranberry & White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
When it comes to Christmas, cranberries are always at the top of my shopping list.
I love fresh ones to make cranberry sauce and dried ones to bake with and, honestly, what better thing to make with them than cookies. Continue reading
Spiced Chilcanos
The Chilcano is one of Peru’s best loved drinks, alongside the Pisco Sour of course.
Mint Chocolate Biscuit Bites
Mint and dark chocolate has to be one of my favourite flavour combinations.
Plus, peppermint and chocolate is everyone’s Christmas favourite, right?!
I love to buy chocolate mint creams all year round, but I feel like in December I just doubly love to have them in the house. They make me feel all festive. This recipe came about because I wanted to make my own mint creams, but then I got cravings for tiffin and rocky road, which are pretty biscuit-y, so I thought why not combine them (but in a much simpler way)? Continue reading
Lunch at Trinity
If you saw my post a few weeks back, you’ll know that I made a fair few new food discoveries while I was home in Cambridge for the summer. One of those was Trinity.
Trinity is right in the centre of town, not surprisingly on Trinity Street and just across from the university college of the same name. Continue reading
