This is a Nigella Lawson recipe and, in fact, the picture below is hers too. Where is the proof that I made this recipe? I have photos, but won’t post them because they are hideous. Why? Let’s put it this way: the recipe called for cocktail sausages. I thought these were the same thing as…

Ingredients 6 beetroot bulbs 2/3 cup walnuts 1/2 red onion (chopped finely) 1/3 cup continental parsley (chopped) 70g baby spinach leaves 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tbs lemon juice…
I made this especially for a girlfriend’s birthday and honestly don’t know why I’ve never made a cheesecake before because it was so easy. They’re one of my favourite cakes. This is a Jamie Oliver recipe, except his had a blueberry topping. Notes I almost forgot to add the zest he recommends, and it really…
This is a modified Nigella Lawson recipe. I’ve halved the ingredients she specified in hers, and this was still enough to feed us for ages. ‘Us’ meaning Adam and I. The kids weren’t all that enthused. Their loss, really. Ingredients White or savoy cabbage, 500g before trimming 1 carrot 1 sticks celery 2 spring onions…
My goodness, I’ve eaten a lot of these in my lifetime. I mean, a lot. I love them. And now I know how to make them, this could be a little dangerous! Ingredients 3/4 cup plain flour 1/3 desiccated coconut 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar 90g melted butter 395g can sweetened condensed milk 60…

This turkish delight making experience is being mentioned purely for the sake of posterity and accountability, but rest assured in every other sense it is being struck from the record. All memories shall be suppressed. I mean, look at it. This doesn’t even look like turkish delight, does…
