I’m sorry that I’ve only just got around to blogging about the launch of A Lot On Her Plate. Suffice to say it’s been a ridiculously hectic month since the book launched on the 23rd April, and I was in the kitchen at Carousel (blog to follow) all week straight afterwards, which was an incredible, […]
Hello and welcome to the new look blog, which has been given a much-needed springtime redesign. I hope you’ll now find the site cleaner and easier to use, as well as a bit more responsive and engaging. Do let me know if you have any comments about how I can improve it further!
If you’re a reader of this blog, or a follower of my Instagram, you’ll know that I’m a huge fan of cooking and eating meat. In fact, the new book A Lot On Her Plate (less than a month away, yikes!) has got a fair few meaty recipes of its own – most of which […]
It’s been a really busy start to the year, writing and food styling while also trying to think of ways to promote A Lot On Her Plate the cookbook, which is coming out in April, now just around the corner! Watch this space for information on up and coming supper clubs and events to coincide with the launch, I am VERY excited. Don’t forget you can pre-order your copy here on amazon already. Also, I’m doing a spring supper above Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen in London.
After the calorific onslaught of Christmas (I like gravy on my gravy), I always try to make a few healthy, lighter choices when I can in January.

Happy New Year! Here’s a delightful cheesecake recipe for you to say thanks for all your wonderful support in 2014, and to look forward to a tasty 2015 together. It’s almost time to dust-down your favourite healthy recipes and get cracking on that January help-me-feel-better-about-scoffing-twenty-seven-mince-and-drinking-everyday regime, but for one final foray into indulgence before you start to be all ‘New year, New you’, here’s a simple and sumptuous cheesecake recipe.
One of the biggest things I love about the weekend is having the chance to cook a proper breakfast or brunch for me and my boyfriend. This is one of my go-to weekend brunch dishes. It’s such a lovely, satisfying way to start the weekend, especially if you’ve been guilty of overindulging on the Friday night and are in need of something filling and restorative to sort out those fluctuating blood sugar levels.
To me, the abundance of pumpkins and squashes are one of the best things about this time of year. I never really cooked with them until I went to Vancouver and discovered them growing in every garden and trailing down every front porch from ‘fall’ onwards. It was my lovely friend Renee who first showed me how to carve out pumpkins and roast their seeds to a make a spicy, savoury snack.
