So it’s the school summer holidays and it’s that challenging time of the year (well – all of this year has been a challenge hasn’t it?) when a lot of parent’s are faced with the task of juggling childcare with work commitments. To be honest – as a woman, it’s just another thing that I…
Add a little bit of zing to your BBQ – Chimichurri sauce.
So yesterday we decided (along with most of the country I reckon) to have a family bbq (as in just us family). I do enjoy bbq food – but once I’ve eaten a burger (and maybe a hot-dog too) I don’t ever feel like eating anything else – I’m usually stuffed full of bread. Don’t…
Baked Salmon served with a garlic, parsley and white wine butter sauce; with Samphire
Happy Tuesday everyone. I’m writing this on Monday night but the dish isn’t cooked yet, so I’ll hold out until tomorrow for the full post.

Bottle and Thyme
August not only signifies the build up to the forthcoming X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing series (Rev Richard Coles – can’t wait!); but it also brings us the middle chunk of the school summer holidays – the big chunk, the chunkiest chunk. This is the chunk that secretly sneaks up on you during your…
Love food, hate waste
I can’t believe it’s August already….which means that it’s only a few weeks until X factor starts again, which of course mean’s it’s nearly Christmas……. So we had a fabulous foodie weekend: The local artisan market was on and it was also the first ever Chesterfield food and drink festival. Lots of delicious pies, cheeses,…
