Recipes & tips for filling bottomless pits
It was the school summer fair at the weekend and my good friend Tara organised a fun bake-off event for parents and kids alike. I rose to the challenge and decided to push the boat out with this whopping red velvet cake. I was going to stay traditional and do a victoria sponge, but after [...]
The American wing of the Bryson family are joining us in the UK this week. We will have two little girls in the Feeding Boys household, 2 months and 22 months, so we are beyond excited! To celebrate we’re going to throw a 4th July barbecue – let’s hope there’s a gap in the rainclouds… [...]
Have you been brave enough to roll the barbecue out of the shed yet this ‘summer’? Well just in case you’re contemplating it during one of the brief gaps between torrential downpours and gail force winds, I’ve created a bunch of delicious recipes over at Parentdish. There are Spiced Lamb Koftas with a yoghurty minty cucumber [...]
I’ve been very busy in the Feeding Boys kitchen drumming up recipes for parentdish.co.uk to celebrate the Jubilee. From eye popping iced gems, to classy little tarts.

Sponsored post I love serving up a stickily glazed ham over Christmas, it just feels so festive and is such an easy meal. You can eat it hot with roasties or mash, or cold with a selection of salads or just whack it in a fluffy white bap – yum! I normally follow Nigella’s recipe [...]
This has to be one of my all time favourite sweet treats, something my mum can throw together with her eyes closed after years of providing the WI market stall with it, but i’d never attempted it before. Once again, Christmas fair duties were calling, this time for Arlo’s playgroup so I decided to bake [...]
