In December 2019 one of my closest friends took me to Budapest for a long weekend as a Christmas treat (I know right, what an amazing friend). We arrived at our hotel at lunchtime on the Thursday, absolutely ravenous from having dragged ourselves out of bed at 2:15am that morning to catch the flight. We
Last week I had a week off work and was desperate to jump on the baking/making train that everyone seems to be riding during lockdown.One of the best things about this recipe is the time it takes to make the dough. No proving necessary and it’s super easy for anyone of any cooking ability. I
Our first lockdown family birthday took place this week, so we had to very much make do with what was available to us when preparing the celebrations.

To say I love to cook would be a bit of an overstatement, although, I do enjoy preparing new meals in the kitchen and seeing how they turn out. I would say I became more adventurous with my cooking and food prep before Liam was born when I was playing around with Paleo and Keto
Like many, I’ve embarked on a bit of baking recently. I’m still working from home each day, so I find it difficult to do anything creative during the evenings, once I close the laptop at 6 pm and start prepping dinner, the motivation to embark on hours of painting or exercise honestly isn’t there! A
Whenever I’m in need of a burst of inspiration, a few minutes to myself or an excuse to relax, I head out to one of my favourite coffee shops. I sit down with a book or a friend, sip on a hot drink (caffeinated, always!) and let myself enjoy a moment of pure delight. Yes
As anybody who follows my Insta stories will know, I’ve been Banana Bread-ing the hell out of quarantine. The mixing bowl has never seen so much action! Continuing my baking spree, for Easter weekend I thought I’d push the boat out a little bit and try my hand at a Carrot Cake. It’s a firm
