No bake mint chocolate cheesecake

I think it's been about 10 months since I last visited here. Life with two small people is needless to say, very busy. Jam packed really. It makes for a full day. But I wouldn't have my life right now any other way.

Easy upsidedown pineapple cake

Now that during the day we are three, me, a very little and helpless human and an independent, talkative, whirlwind of a toddler, activities to do with the later, to make her feel included and secure.

Cafe de Paris butter recipe

This post is a long time coming. A long time. Pregnancy stopped me in my tracks in more ways than simply preventing me from posting here. My main focus was on growing a healthy baby.

Asparagus carbonara

So without further a do, I mean it has been eight weeks or something now, I have a new recipe, asparagus carbonara. A dinner born as a way to help make use of the gorgeous and abundant cherry.

Peach and burrata salad

I know. I know. I feel a bit sheepish coming back, but I really really would like to explain where I've been. And also make my comeback along with a killer summer peach and burrata salad.

Almond tart with strawberries

I can't really keep it a secret any longer. If you visit here often you're going to notice sooner or later anyway, so I'd better come clean. For the last three months I have been living in a house with views.

Beautiful Thai canapés

Let me begin by telling you about the thing that I've wanted to do for a very long time. Ocean swimming. Dropping into the sea and swimming in the cool mineral rich water.

A very easy garlic prawn entree

Prawns plus garlic. The perfect combination. Add some fresh bread and you have a very easy garlic prawn entrée. The best thing about this starter is that it's served 'en papillote' or in the bag.

Mozzarella salad with celery and walnuts

I realise that cooking in this pre prepared way may not be in alignment with everyone's personalities and that some people are more inclined to leave things until the last moment.

Macadamia chocolate bark

Sometimes after dinner, I want a nibble of something. Not a dessert, nor something to be eaten with a spoon. Just a treat, perhaps containing a little bit of sugar, to punctuate an evening meal.

A baba ganoush recipe

'Your eggplants are burning' observed Mark. I'm sure the eggplants sitting directly over the gas flame on the stove could indeed look like they were scorching. I was making baba ganoush.
