Have you ever had a Veggie Burger?
I like to call myself an omnivore.
I love meat, fish, eggs (dairy doesn’t like me) but I absolutely love my fruit and veggies too.

My search for a really great brown bread….
I’m having a love affair with brown bread!!
You know, that amazing stuff that’s properly baked in a loaf tin without lots of crap added to it like in our ordinary sliced pans. It’s the bread you’re always thrilled to get when you order a bowl of soup in a pub or restaurant. The stuff that [...]

This is a lovely Christmas Recipe for something sweet, but not too sweet, that you can make and wrap [...]
Homemade Pizza
I was asked a long time ago to put this up on the blog but having made a very successful pizza on Sunday night I thought I’d lash it up on the blog really quickly. If you don’t have a pizza peel or pizza stones, don’t worry, you don’t really need them but for a [...]
