Pea and Feta smash with poached eggs on toast

A twist on the hipster avocado, super tasty and a delicious brunch. I added some crispy dry cured bacon to the dish.
A trip to the Kitchin
August 5, 2019
After seeing the chef Tom Kitchin on Great British menu and seeing his restaurant, I’d wanted to visit. The Kitchin on Edinburgh’s Leith waterfront was opened in 2006. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 2007 and still has it today.
Baked cauliflower with black beans and coconut

I love veggie food and this one is packed full of flavour. I used a pancake pan to make the flatbreads in.
A tick off the fabulist – visit St Bees

Despite living up north for nearly 30 years, I have hardly visited the western Lake District. Mainly due to the time it takes to get there.

Jerk cod with creamed sweet corn
July 15, 2019
Quick and easy to make. The corn is so delicious and would make a great side to any dish. I served it with roasted broccoli and green beans.
Canal boating
July 15, 2019
The northern part of the canal (Tewitfield to Kendal) was drained of water and closed in 1944. There was a severe leakage and it was filled in, also parts were blocked when the M6 were built.
Apple tart
June 30, 2019
Sat in the doctors surgery and flicking through a magazine and was inspired by a simple pudding. It helped that I had some leftover puff pastry from a pie I was making.
Happiness in a bottle
June 18, 2019
Living with anxiety is tough at times. There is never a specific trigger when I am feeling anxious or having a panic attack, just a bunch of little triggers that all add up. To what? To an anxiety attack. A big, huge, heart pounding, sweat inducing panic attack.
Lemon drizzle simnel slice
June 16, 2019
I love marzipan and the freshness of the lemon. Perfect with a cuppa.
