What could be more English than a glass of homemade elderflower cordial drunk in an English garden in the evening of Midsummer’s Day?
I picked the elderflowers on Midsummer’s eve and bottled them on Midsummer’s day.
Today is Midsummer’s day and for those of us in the Northern hemisphere the longest day of the year, for those [...]

Ever since Kathryn wrote about her Greens with Tahini I have been craving some greens (as well as being jealous of the greens she has been getting in her veggie box).
On Sunday a friend and I went to Osterley Park and had a picnic, long walk and enjoyed the sun. It really was surprisingly warm [...]

Madhuram of Egg Less Cooking is challenging us to “Bake anything egg less using one or more of the whole grain forms of quinoa (whole quinoa, whole grain quinoa flour, quinoa flakes, quinoa cereal, etc).“ As I have a) not taken part in a foodblogging event for ages and b) bake almost everything without eggs [...]

This is a very delicious but deceptively simple pudding using only 4 ingredients and taking 5 minutes to put together, they really need to be mini as they are so rich. I have had a set of these French Shoes espresso cups for some time and wanted to make a pudding to serve in [...]
