As you probably already know, I'm pretty terrible at cooking, baking and generally making...anything. But, I have a secret weapon that I bring out for dinner parties so that people don't think I'm a complete no-hoper in the kitchen...and that's my dairy free Lotus biscuit no-bake cheesecake. I was originally inspired by a pretty picture [...]
In case you hadn't guessed, I, along with a lot of the world, am mildly obsessed with Biscoff spread, and I eat it at any given opportunity (mostly straight from the jar with a spoon - anyone else?) However, sometimes I remember to put it into things other than directly into my face, and this [...]
So, week 4. Still in lockdown. Have eaten a lifetime's worth of banana bread. Have also convinced myself I can communicate with the cats. But, insanity and boredom eating aside, this week there's some really lovely pieces and businesses I'd like to showcase from all around the county. And by showcase, I mean add to [...]
By far, the second biggest lockdown trend (after badly manicured nails) is the banana bread baking craze. It's everywhere. You can't move for pictures on Instagram of people's efforts. And now I'm throwing mine into the mix. This is actually the third time I've baked banana bread during lockdown, because I am a cliche and [...]
We're already into week 3 of the Local Lust List, and sadly my shopping want has not waned. But when there are so many pretty things around that would look equally pretty in my wardrobe it's hard not to spend time gazing longingly at them, or spend money making them mine. This week I've clearly [...]
During lockdown, like many people I'm frittering away any eggs I can find by baking them into sweet treats I definitely don't need. But we're in the middle of a global pandemic people, so I think 'need' definitely stretches to eating a whole tray of fudgy Biscoff brownies....right? If the quantities of this recipe seem [...]
Welcome to week 2 of my Local Lust List. Like many people, I've been really struggling with the concept of wearing normal clothes again and not just living in the same leggings and t-shirt combo, so browsing online for inspiration for this blog post has given me a nice bit of escapism, and also the [...]
Oh hey there. If you're anything like me (a shopaholic) then during lockdown you're champing at the bit, wanting to hit the shops and buy some lovely new things that don't even vaguely resemble jogging bottoms. I've decided to fill that retail therapy void by putting together a weekly local lust list, filled with my [...]
In these testing social distancing and self-isolation times it can be hard to find the positives. When will be able to socialise again? When will normality resume? Well, I have no idea. But one thing I do know is there's a great way to pass the time, and that is baking (and eating) delicious brownies. [...]
Whether you're searching for a Mother's Day gift, an Easter present, something quirky for a birthday or just a treat for yourself, Kent has a lot to offer when it comes to great gift shops. And, while heading to TK Maxx is great (I can honestly say I spend about half my time and money [...]
It's been a while since I created a cheesecake recipe, but seeing as it's a new year and many people are doing Veganuary, I thought now was the time to experiment. Usually, I just rock up to any celebration with my tried and tested Lotus Biscuit Cheesecake, but new year, new me and all that.* [...]
