HELLO. Remember how I was boring you all banging on about colds the other day even though it is April and making a spicy lamb stew to stave off the sneezes? GUESS WHAT? I’m doing it again. I am telling you now, this doesn’t look pretty. It should, but I’m…

I’ve got this week off, so I decided to get cracking and make some of the things I’ve been meaning to try for a while. One of those things was – I reckon you’ve guessed it by now – hummus. I had a Google to try and find a really…

My friend Kate, who has just started the wonderful The Buckwheat Adventure, posted an Instagram a while ago of gorgeous profiteroles the size of tennis balls. WHERE could get a hit of pastry full of cream that big? Turns out she’d taken a course and had made them herself. Really, that…

All I want to spend my time doing is eating these brownies. I mean, obviously, they’re chocolate. And caramel. And carbs. They’re the best thing in the world apart from chips because omg chips. These are so easy to make – they’re Nigella’s Everyday Brownies but rather than just using…
