Next Sunday is Mother’s Day, I am hoping to be totally spoilt and hopefully not have to do any cooking or baking for myself, but I have made a very special Mother’s Day cake for my Mum that I would like to share with you. It is fairly simple, but…
Cottage Loaf
Please bare with me, yes it is another bread recipe and I do have a few more to type up, but I just love making bread. I have now baked 9 out of 100 recipes from Paul Hollywood’s book and can not wait to do the Greek section, the recipes…
Lobster Thermidor
And now for our New Year’s Eve/Wedding Anniversary main course, if we were not going out it just had to be lobster, we both love it and Hubby had the brain wave of making a day of it, we were going to Borough Market, get some lunch and buy our…
Roasted Red Pepper Soup
My little boy Luca loves his food, he is willing to try everything at least once and when the leaves on the tree’s start to change colour he always asks for my special Christmas soup as he like’s to call it. The soup he is referring to is http://dianastaveley.blogspot.com/2010/06/roast-squash-and-sweet-potato-soup-with.html and the reason…
Bayonne Ham Omelette
To say that Hubby and I are competitive, especially in the kitchen, would be a slight understatement. We do admit that we both bring different things to the table, or kitchen, so to speak, but touch on the others territory and there will be trouble and tears before bedtime! Hubby…

Traditional antipasto includes cured meats, olives, roasted garlic, peperoncini, mushrooms, anchovies, artichoke hearts, various cheeses (such as provolone or mozzarella) and peperone (marinated small green bell peppers, not to be confused with…
Scrambled Eggs & Goats Cheese – Breakfast Heaven
I so wish that I had found this recipe earlier, its to die for and just perfect for this weekend, as it is Father’s Day and I decided that I would spoil Hubby rotten by making him breakfast in bed on both mornings over the weekend. My Hubby works extremely…
Strawberry & White Chocolate Cheesecake
My Son James turned 21 this week, any one that knows me, knows that James isn’t my biological Son but that doesn’t mean that I love him any less than I do my other Children, he is such a great person and I am so proud to have him as…
Agnello Con Piselli Freshi – Lamb with Fresh Peas
I am afraid that here is another recipe by Gennaro Contaldo from ‘The Two Greedy Italians” and also a little history lesson, which I hope doesn’t bore you to much but a story that I find fascinating. As Gennaro says in the book, food and religion have always gone hand…
