This is a real family favourite – in fact, Paps says he prefers this to the actual roast itself (which is hurtful)! I have been making this for over 20 years and I think it’s the best thing to do with leftover pork. I served this with some homemade egg fried rice that I had…

A couple of days ago I received a distress call from my daughter Larah. She explained that her friends at work were demanding a cheesecake “otherwise Mum….my head is going to end up on a spike outside the Tiny Box Company’s offices.” Fearing for my daughters safety and wellbeing, I leapt into action (and sent…

Why I Love Batch Cooking (especially chilli). If I’m going to the trouble of cooking something, I might as well make a proper load of it and fill the freezer. This time round I made my take on a big, freezer-friendly chilli. Most of it is heading to my daughter’s freezer – although I suspect…

Got leftover turkey and gammon in the freezer? Here’s how to turn them into a comforting pie – with a clever mash and pastry blag on top! The main blag here is that I had some pastry leftover from a chicken pie I made for the Gremmos as they prefer the filling to the ‘wrapping!’…

Oh Brilliant – ‘Man-flu’ has struck and it’s looking like I am going to become a full time nurse! So……It’s looking like we will be having something from the freezer today. What about ‘Spicy meatballs with spaghetti?’ – Sorted. I have added the recipe. Wish me luck! Jam Jam xxxx

I tried to swerve them into having something simple (croissants, toast, brioche etc.) but that didn’t work…they wanted a full…

In my post yesterday, Lunch with Best Friends I mentioned that I was making a honeycomb and salted caramel cheesecake……well……let me give you a little background here: In the week we went with our daughter and son-in law (Larah & Sean) to our local pub in Mayfield – The Rose and Crown. We love it…

We had these wonderful people (Jason and Kerry) over for lunch yesterday. On the menu…chicken satay, devilled eggs & homemade pate on crostini just to start with! Then we had a homemade badger (No….not the black & white, furry mammal). This is a dish that I have been making for ages – really tasty, easy…

So….had call from Larah (daughter) last night! “Jam Jam…. please can you come stay with the Gremmos tomorrow night?” Obviously this means we have to take Corton and Fuzzy – fortunately Winston is already there as Pod (Ava – first grandchild) likes to have him to stay from time to time. Actually, she would like…
