This summer I have been getting an iceberg lettuce every week in my co-op box and frankly I am a little bored of them. Nothing conjures up an image of an 1970’s salad more than an iceberg. Add some pale watery tomatoes, celery and chunks of cucumber and a good dollop of [...]

Along with lots of other bloggers I was recently sent a coolbag crammed full with Total Greek yogurt, which I have greatly been enjoying using and cooking with. It is still baking hot in London and I really do not want to spend hours slaving over a hot stove so I have been spending the [...]

I also start to think about my diet in the spring and [...]

I have a slight love / hate relationship with autumn, it is sad to see the end of summer, but I love the change of the season, the change in the air and the turning of the leaves, but the weather is unprerdictable and I never know what to wear and am usually too hot, [...]

I have been feeling very uninspired and unexcited about food recently but I was delighted to be given some homegrown tomatos, which were perfectly ripe and bursting with flavour. I quickly made this three tomato salad with a tomato dressing for my lunch, which I thoroughly enjoyed and which I think may have reawakened my interest in [...]
