Honeycomb, Cinder Toffee, Hokey Pokey, what ever you like to call it, its one of those naughty sweet treats that is highly addictive and while I was sharing a recipe for Marshmallows and the tricky process of working with sugar and thermometers, I thought I may as well add this…
Homemade Marshmallow
I have been meaning to put the recipe for homemade marshmallow on here for a while, its not that anyone will want to make it, but rather that I do this recipe time and time again and I know that the Children, Rosie in particular would not be happy if…
Very impressive Shepherds Pie
I have given this recipe the rather grand title of “Very impressive Shepherds Pie”, just for the grandeur of the ingredients and the taste. It may not be a quick everyday recipe and I know it is far easier to buy the mince and just add a shepherds pie packet mix,…
Pumpkin Pie
Every year my Mum grows a gorgeous patch of pumpkins and part of our Halloween excitement and ritual is going over and picking out the biggest one to carve. Every year I am taken a back to how beautiful they look growing in the field and just how huge they…

Boston Baked Beans with Crisp Pork Belly
