 I love making things festive in my house, even the mugs! These Christmas-inspired mugs are so easy to make and will make your hot chocolate even more fitting for the holiday season. Why not prepare these the night before Christmas Eve and then enjoy them with […]

I wasn’t sure whether to post this ‘hack’, but then I thought that I’d better share how unrealistic this is. This is not a rant at Food Network (where I found the idea), but more a picking-out-the-flaws of a recipe, type post. Food Network posted the […]

I love the Caribbean. I’ve never been, but I’ve come close. I visited Bermuda this year and absolutely loved it; the combination of British politeness and American friendliness really goes hand-in-hand. The food out there is so unique. For example, ever thought of having avocado and banana […]

Two years ago, I wrote a post with a recipe to an Italian hot chocolate with peppermint cookies. I’m a massive fan of anything peppermint-flavoured. I mean, yesterday my post for S’mores were candy cane flavoured… I’d have every post for blogmas featuring peppermint if I could… […]

In yesterday’s post I mentioned about being a particularly snack-y person! Now, I’m usually a sweet tooth, however, when it comes to nuts, I prefer the savoury kind. And I especially love anything BBQ flavoured, so the following recipe is perfect! These sweetly (but not too […]

I don’t know about you but I don’t just get snack-y at Christmas; it happens all the time! However at Christmas we are more ok with snacking, especially in front of the TV! The following snack is perfect for this; sweet, crunchy nuts. Also great to package […]

If you’ve seen yesterday’s post you’ll know that I’d searched high and low for one ingredients: egg nog. I gave up and ended up making it. The reason I needed it so badly is not because I fancied sipping it by the fire, it was mainly for the […]

I wasn’t originally going to make egg nog. I was going to buy the carton stuff. I searched high and low for it: Morrisons, Waitrose, Tesco.. no luck. Ocado had it but they were sold out. Eventually I gave in and thought to myself that […]

Christmas is the time of year when dark evenings are spent cuddling up on the sofa, snuggling up under a blanket, whilst drinking a hot cup of something. My parents recently gifted me an early Christmas present – Nigel Slater’s Christmas Chronicles. I absolutely love […]

It’s quickly beginning to turn more wintery here in the Cotswolds. This morning there was a hard frost here in Cheltenham and on our trip to Stow-on-the-Wold there was snow covering large parts of the ground! It would be magical if we could have a white Christmas this year! […]
