A few years back, I read somewhere that someone got meal inspirations, from looking at the selection of ready meals in a supermarket. When I was doing my food shop last week, that’s exactly what I did too. I passed the frozen food section and spotted a Weight Watchers Ocean Pie. The description on the [...]

When I use the word “gnocchi”, I use it loosely. I dont even know if I can pronounce it properly! The gnocchi I refer to today, is packaged stuff from a supermarket; not the “real” fresh stuff. I’m sure there is a world of difference between the taste, and texture and I intend to try [...]

Even the title has me drooling… it’s one of the most delicious cakes I’ve ever tasted. Although, I personally find it so rich, that I can only manage a small slice at a time.

I rarely have pork. Not that i dislike it, I just always seem to get chicken and beef instead; a shame really, as it lessens the frequency of producing dishes as scrumptious as this I shall have to remember to add it to my shopping list from now on! I was also glad to use the [...]

As a Xmas gift last year, I received a gift voucher for a Home Baking course at the Cookery School in Glasgow. It was a whole day of baking sweet treats, which was great, but my favourite dish of the day was the chicken and chorizo risotto we were taught for our lunches! I’m a [...]
