Hi everyone, Apologies for being a bit absent on here lately – we moved house, and it took a whole lot longer than either of us expected! But… we’re finally in and starting to properly enjoy our new life in High Hurstwood. Everyone we’ve met has been incredibly friendly already – it really is a…

This feels like a bit of a milestone for us… We’ve had our very first recipe contribution from a follower of Jam Jam’s Kitchen! 😊 A lovely lady called Silva (who I believe is Lebanese) got in touch and shared a recipe for a simplified version of a traditional dish called Shish Barak. First of…

(Ham & Haddock… apparently!) First of all… Paps came up with the title for this one!!! A few days ago, Paps bought a 2.5kg gammon from Lidl because it was on special offer. Now, 2.5kg of gammon for just the two of us was… optimistic. Unsurprisingly, we had quite a bit left over. We worked…

As usual, the family decided they’d all like to get together for Mother’s Day… and that I should cook! But this year I had some help from the lovely Caroline (mum of my daughter’s boyfriend).

Of course there are the usual options: sandwiches, chicken salad, maybe…

Does anyone actually understand how the super-duper offers work on the Temu website? It tells you that you’ve qualified for a load of free stuff… but then you seem to have to buy a load of things you don’t want or need in order to get the free stuff. At least, I think that’s how…

I love this plate of food! Crispy chilli beef was always one of my favourite dishes, back in the day when we ordered takeaway! I made this one with venison simply because we have so much of it but a cheap cut of beef will fit the bill here. I did this with a basic…

You know those weekends that don’t quite go to plan? Yesterday brought some not-so-great news which completely knocked my day sideways. All the things I’d hoped to tick off… remain very much unticked. Roll on Sunday. Two of my three Gremmos are already here. The third is arriving later with parents in tow. There’s apparently…
