Apple Fritters

Apple Fritters

On a drizzly weekend in September the boys and I headed out to make the most of our National Trust membership. We’ve been exploring the immediate area and have visited Grey’s Court, Cliveden, Runnymede and most recently Benjamin Disraeli’s country home, Hughenden Manor. It was […]

Pumpkin pie with hazelnut crust

Pumpkin pie with hazelnut crust

“Good friends are like stars…. You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there” I have a friend from Canada and together we used to enjoy swapping recipes, talking about food and embarking on oven-baked finger food odysseys. Being Canadian, she had […]

Bowl Food

Bowl Food

Bliss bowls, Buddha bowls, poke bowl or just plain ‘bowl food’. I’ve been thinking about it for some time, way before it was on the menu at Harry’s wedding. I only just found about that out. Over in the United States, bowl food has been […]

Bill’s Jamaican coconut bread

Sydney-siders will know all about him, and some hip city folk might have heard him; I’m talking about Bill Granger. That man-child food-wizard who has made his career on sensational scrambled eggs. Of course there are a more strings to his bow, but his eggs […]

Prosciutto di San Daniele and Grana Padano

Prosciutto di San Daniele and Grana Padano

When I got the opportunity to try Prosciutto di San Daniele and Grana Padano I eagerly awaited their arrival, even resorting to stalking my post man, when I’d missed the delivery. This is one package that couldn’t survive in the depot over night. These two items for me, are […]

The Oxford Blue: Windsor

The Oxford Blue: Windsor

  After an 18-month restoration, The Oxford Blue, which has served as a public house since 1829, has been elevated almost overnight to a culinary icon in the unassuming back roads surrounding Windsor Great Park. After only a month of trade The Oxford Blue has […]

Old Butcher’s Wine Cellar Famous Mulled Wine

Perhaps it’s because I’m Australian, but I’ve never really picked up on the mulled wine tradition here in the UK. To me it tasted either too sour or overly spiced and stating the bloody obvious – what’s with warm wine? But things change. A few weeks […]
