It has been an incredibly long time since I last posted. I have really missed blogging – it was always my space to be creative and share my life. Becoming a mum and a global pandemic changes everything, mainly how much free time I have. I’m not even sure what free time is anymore or … More A new start
I spent the start of February in the highlands of Scotland with my family. Rather than the warm glow of a February sun indicating that Spring is round the corner we were blasted with arctic air and snowed in. I love snow though and getting to spend a full week with my family and watching … More In Season February
I don’t make biscuits often enough. I love biscuits and never buy so need to make them more. With Rowan getting older it is wonderful to start to get him involved in cooking. He will mix things for a little and then try to fling it all over the kitchen but it is a start … More Vegan Tahini Cookies
I’m having a very slow start to 2019. I’m not throwing myself into resolutions and restrictions but rather easing myself in, being kind to myself and trying to get some rhythm into daily life.

I had been intending to make a biryani stuffed pumpkin, however dropping the pumpkin as it came out of the oven and smashing it … More Savoury Pumpkin Pie
For years I have seen photographs every October of people picking their pumpkins for Halloween and thinking it was a great idea. It teaches children about how and where pumpkins grow. They are local so reduces the number of miles travelled and it is a great family day out! Rowan and I had a great … More Kilduff Farm Pumpkin Patch
There are some meals that I make which make me so proud, this is one of them. Not only does it taste amazing but all of the vegetables on top are homegrown. I wanted to make something that celebrated them and didn’t loose their wonderful flavour, making them into a croustade seemed like the perfect … More Pea, Chard and Feta Croustade
