If you don’t have permanently hungry children at home, don’t be surprised if they turn into ravenous ‘hangry’ creatures when you go camping. There’s something about being in the great outdoors that makes everyone hungry. But with mealtime routines often…
In the past N hasn’t been a keen party goer. He’s gone along to some, to others he’s refused. And there’s always a time beforehand when he says he’s not going. But all parties so far were with lots of…
We love going camping with friends, but our camping food experiences have been very different. The first year we were keen and eager, grouping together to buy ingredients and then cook for everyone, with people taking the lead each evening….
Anyone else have family who don’t get that excited about you trying different recipes? The OH isn’t a great fan of my new recipes, but sometimes you just have to try them, and they turn out well or not. For…
I admit, I love food. Plain food, not fussy posh restaurant food. Good simple meals, good quality food, with too much sweet stuff. It’s my failing. (I do have some food vices as well, but we’ll pass over that quickly)…

I’m a big Mexican food fan, but it’s quite hard to come by if you’re eating out. But with a fussy OH (he’ll not eat indian, chinese, thai, risotto), I tend to stick to fajitas which he and N will…
Whenever I get asked to make a pudding for something I’ve usually done Nigella’s trashy lime cheesecake. It’s failsafe, and everyone seems to love it. But when we go to friends’ houses with puddings, there’s always other lime puddings or…
I love chocolate puddings. Ok I just love chocolate. But chocolate puddings can be pretty good. I always used to think that making chocolate desserts was going to be complicated (and expensive). Some are complex and take ages. And some…
I’m not a party planner. I’ve not even organised that many birthday parties. I’d probably rather have a smaller get together with friends, but when you have children you can’t get away from holding at least 1 birthday party. I…
Whenever we go to dinner or lunch at friends’ houses, the women usually bring along a dessert. Yes, there’s always pressure not to have your pudding the one that’s hardly been touched. Meringue is always one of the first to…
