I’m the kind of person who walks excitedly down foreign food aisles and am a sucker for any product I’ve never seen for sale in the UK before. I’m the same when I am on holiday. I have to return with foods to try at home; it also helps I have a globetrotting brother to …

With a new house comes a new garden to play with. It’s significantly different from our last place. We’ve swapped a tiny, no-so-private courtyard with raised beds that overlooked the fields to a “grown-up” garden with lawn, patio, grass, trees and flowers slap bang in the middle of suburbia. I certainly don’t miss sitting on …

Shock horror, we’ve lost our sweet tooth. I still love the process of making and baking cakes but once I’ve had a slice I’m bored with it. 10 days ago I made a banana and caramel loaf. It’s still half uneaten in the tin. What has happened to us? One advantage though is that it …

This should really be called the onion and parmesan 8 strand plait loaf but given our analytical brains couldn’t process Paul Hollywood’s instructions (no pictures) to make an 8 strand plait we kept on ending up with a messy knot. Giving up we shaped it some more and bunged it in a 2lb loaf tin. …

We’re nearly there with the unpacking and the new garden is finally coming in to bloom. I swear the old cottage was a Tardis with all the stuff we have. I have a mantra. Everything I buy for the house has to be both beautiful and practical. This stood us in good stead as the …
