I love apple cakes, they are a real taste of autumn. Apples are in season here in the UK now so is the perfect time to start making them. I have been baking apple cakes for years, in fact I don’t know how I haven’t shared the recipe for one until now! This recipe is … More Norwegian Apple Cake
I thought it was about time that I wrote this post as it is one that I had wanted to write for a long time. I may not live in Norway anymore but still wanted to write this and share my knowledge of what it was like being vegetarian in Norway. This first post is … More Vegetarian in Norway; Part One
I love spicy Mexican food. I particularly love guacamole, especially my homemade version. It is very fresh and so simple to make. The spiciness of it can altered to your preference so I am keeping it fairly mild in the recipe and then further chilli can be added! In Norway Friday’s seem to be taco … More Best Ever Guacamole
I love breakfast. I try to keep it interesting by not just having toast or cereal everyday. In the UK I would eat a lot of muesli and granola but I never made myself. I only just returned to Oslo 24 hours ago but I have had a very productive day, making pans of soup, … More Almond and Apricot Granola
I thought I would start off 2015 with a celebratory cake.

I love porridge, I know many people do not like it but this is not traditional porridge made with water and salt. This is rich and creamy, topped with hazelnuts, cranberries, chocolate and maple syrup, yum! My mum always made porridge with milk and that is the way I like it. The milk could also … More Indulgent Porridge
Everybody has a favourite recipe to make pumpkin pie and this is mine. I use double cream rather than condensed milk in order to get a creamier texture, it is a little like a cheesecake texture rather than a gelatinous texture. I brought four tins of Libby’s pumpkin puree with me to Norway and I … More Pumpkin Pie
This a wonderful soup and incredibly easy to make. I made it this weekend for my fiancé as he was home for the weekend. I had a very busy weekend in the kitchen, I made home-made bread from scratch (I didn’t even make the dough in the bread maker!), shortcrust pastry for a pumpkin pie … More Roast Red Pepper Soup with Pesto Oil
Here we go, my first favourite! I’m not sure how long this post will be but I will write until it feels natural to end. My first favourite is my citrus juicer. I use a lot of lemon in savoury cooking (I don’t like lemon in sweet things) and love my juicer. I bought it … More First Favourite!
