Bacon and Leek Filo Tart

Last weekend I went to Faversham Night Market held just after the summer solstice and was inspired by all the wonderful tarts and savouries on sale. The following day I set about trying to make a healthier tart so made a few tweaks to cut calories from this googled recipe for Cheesy leek tart. I skippedContinue reading “Bacon and Leek Filo Tart”

Toasted Almond Madeira Cake

After the disaster that befell the UK on Friday, there was nothing else to do but bake. I had been meaning to try out this Dan Lepard recipe for toasted almond madeira cake for a while and the end of last week seemed like the right time to give what seemed a very comforting andContinue reading “Toasted Almond Madeira Cake”

Mercado de Abastos – Santiago de Compostela

At the beginning of June I went over to Spain and spent a few days in the Galician region. One of the highlights for me was a visit to Mercado de Abastos, the food market in Santiago de Compostela. Being one of the few times I have taken my camera out of the house I know I need more practice atContinue reading “Mercado de Abastos – Santiago de Compostela”

Cucumber Rickey Gin Cocktail

I’m still editing shots from my trip to Galicia last week so here’s a cucumber rickey cocktail that I made after seeing it on my Instagram feed a few weeks ago. I was under prepared and didn’t have any crushed ice but it still tasted great. I’m a relatively new convert to gin and doContinue reading “Cucumber Rickey Gin Cocktail”

Pork Kebabs

Last week I made these delicious pork kebabs with soy and ginger after stumbling across the recipe on the Asda website as I had some pork fillet to use up. Super easy to make but best marinated overnight if possible to really get the flavour into the meat. I served mine with a green saladContinue reading “Pork Kebabs”

Healthier Lemon Tart

My 2016 entry for the Eurovision party was this lower fat lemon tart on BBC Good Food, or tarte au citron seeing as I was bringing a French themed morsel to the party table. It uses low fat creme fraiche instead of cream but none of the party guests could tell it was a healthier take onContinue reading “Healthier Lemon Tart”

Overnight Oats

In my quest to lose some weight before the wedding at the end of May I turned to Madeline Shaw’s Get The Glow in the library. There she was smiling smugly on the cover with a bowl of something leafy so I guessed this Overnight Oats recipe that immediately caught my eye whilst flicking through wouldContinue reading “Overnight Oats”

Baked Fishcakes

This recipe is based on the Hairy Dieters home made fishcakes but I tinkered with the quantities slightly based on what I had to hand. I also made these gluten free by using gluten free seeded bread whizzed to breadcrumbs. I can never be bothered with shallow frying and baking these fishcakes also means it’sContinue reading “Baked Fishcakes”

Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year – Peoples Choice Vote

As mentioned a few weeks ago, I’ve somehow managed to make the shortlist for the 2016 Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year awards. Maybe last year wasn’t the fluke I thought it was…… Once again, lots of stunning images and my marmite sausage rolls are amongst them in the Food Blogger category. If you wouldContinue reading “Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year – Peoples Choice Vote”

Mini Egg Cake

Later than planned I have managed to write up this Mini Egg Cake on the train(s) to Gatwick (thanks to holiday engineering work it’s taking 3 hrs just to get to the airport). I’m heading home to Cornwall for Easter and made this chocolate and vanilla cake for my neighbours as a thank you forContinue reading “Mini Egg Cake”
