So October the 25th was the baby of my brood of five’s birthday, I say baby, but he is now as tall as me and is such a mature, intelligent and caring young man, having five children aged from 27 down to 14 has brought so many exciting new adventures…

So yesterday I mentioned two things in my blog post, one my Hubby’s love of Jamie Oliver and also my new passion for Harris + Hoole, the coffee shop that I have discovered and fallen in love with, so continuing with these subjects I bring to you my version of…

I wasn’t sure what to call this and I know that the photos really do not do this dish justice, but this truly is heaven in a bread bowl ! Thats it, thats what I will call it, ‘Heaven in a Bowl’, perfect. I know Hubby will moan that for…

So here is another recipe that Luca has announced at the dinner table as ‘Blog Worthy’! I find it rather amusing that we all now rate the food that we eat as blog worthy or not, we may not always agree on what actually is ‘Blog Worthy’, and I often…

Chorizo Pan Lasagne
Recipes are coming thick and fast at the moment and I am trying to be really good and get them onto the blog as soon as I can, I have so much ‘Diana’s House’ work to do that it all becomes a bit of a juggle, but when recipes are…

Red Wine and Caramelised Onion Slow-roasted Lamb Shoulder
As August draws to a close, the bank holiday is upon us and Autumn is just around the corner, I start to notice the changes in the season, a chillier start to the day, gorgeous weak but still very welcomed evening sunlight filtering lazily through the windows illuminating the house in…

Mexican Chorizo and Garlic Prawn Burgers
Now when Hubby declared that this week was going to be ‘Burger Week’ I have to admit to letting out a small groan. Please do not get me wrong, I love a good gourmet burger as much as the next person, but really, a whole week!!! Well day two and…

Custard Cream Bars
Now I am not sure how to describe these Custard Cream Bars, they were not what I expected, but you know me, I just love scouring the internet for new recipes, I love something a little different, but I must admit that the downside of finding recipes on Pinterest is…

Ginger Cake – Everyday Version
Christmas is coming ! I know that it is only November and I completely agree that Christmas should not be thought about until at least the 1st December, but as every baker knows, sometimes Christmas does have to sneak in a little bit earlier, making mincemeat and the traditional Christmas…
