Tomato And Horseradish Toasts

When the weather becomes warmer, I develop a craving for tomatoes. This Waitrose recipe card caught my attention earlier this year, and Robert and I have enjoyed this quick lunch several times this year and love it. The horseradish tempered by the crème fraîche is just stunning. Simple and sensational - what more can ask …

Hold Me

I have chosen a song that embraces the theme Jim has chosen for today's Song Lyric Sunday. I thought at first that it did not contain any of the words included in Jim's little list, but it turns out it does. All the better - for once I had settled on this song, I really …

Les Dauphins Côtes du Rhône Villages

As the colder weather descends upon us, we will be returning to red wine (which we generally lose interest in throughout the summer). What a wine we have for you today, one that brings along it all of the festivity of bold reds. Les Dauphins Côtes du Rhône Villages is a full on red. Lots …

Caribbean Jerk Stew With Beans And Coconut

Now I like quick dinner recipe, however, this one made me rather suspicious. It looked too quick, too easy, and too stingy when it came to the quantity of jerk seasoning. When I tried it out, I increased the amount of seasoning, and I still felt as if it was too mild. This is not …

Bottle Green Bramble Sparkling Pressé

I am still slightly "on the fence" with the beverage I am featuring today. I like Bottle Green. We buy their apple pressé often and it is truly delicious. When I saw their Bramble Sparkling Pressé sitting on the shelf at the supermarket my tastebuds began to water. The idea of more autumnal fruits was …

Jerusalem Artichoke Soup

I may have made this claim before, but this truly may be the most delicious soup I have ever tried. Thanks again to the Waitrose website for supplying this stunner. Or perhaps it is just one stunning ingredient - JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES - which as I am sure you know are not artichokes at all. I …

We have keeping her well supplied with food and drink and trying to keep up with her monumental blogging schedule. We feel …

Chiswick Tea Co. Mao Feng Tea

I fell in love with these tea bags the very first time I tried one. The sight of the dried ingredients opening up in hot water and releasing their aromas was such a pleasure. This may sound silly, but I found myself taking time out just to watch my Mao Feng tea brew, before finally …

Laura’s Pineapple And Coconut Cake

I had the privilege of baking with lovely Laura who was keen to join in with the excitement of the Great Bloggers Bake Off. Laura picked out a budget bake that according to the ASDA website can be divided into thirty 18p pieces. I have to confess, we sliced it into slightly larger portions, so …

Wills’ Jam Sandwich Biscuits

This is not the first time Wills has baked. Nonetheless, I am very impressed by his crumbly melt in your mouth biscuits. He chose our favourite jam to fill these delightful biscuits. Wills insists this recipe is a proper budget bake recipe (I agree). They are also rather moreish. Our nephew made perfect biscuits and …
