I think I’ve been watching too much of The Island. For those readers who have more of a life than I and are confused as to what it is, it is a television programme based on a group of men and women … Continue reading

Red Velvet Cake
In hindsight it was probably quite an odd thing to do, but to in my mind it was perfectly logical to make my own birthday cake. The fact of the matter is, I have Cake Distrust Syndrome (it’s pretty self-explanatory) but … Continue reading
Lemon Ice
I love France; I love their food, climate and the general snootiness that makes France wonderful. I do not like France, however, when the French decide to go on strike. Stranded in Morocco sounds wonderful but the reality was somewhat … Continue reading
Chocolate Bars with Mini Eggs and Gold Leaf

Energy Balls
I have become a New Years cliché. On January 2nd I joined a new gym, ordered an all in one lycra outfit, purchased a loyalty card from Holland and Barrett and swore that I would only run to my required … Continue reading
Sprouting into the New Year
