Do you eat it every day? How many of you will be making your own chocolate Easter treats this holiday? Well let me hand you over [...]
Proper hot chocolate
February 24, 2013 By 4 Comments
You really can’t beat putting your numb hands around a warm mug of hot chocolate when you’ve come in from running the boys around the park in the biting wind. This version uses real chocolate so it is a bit extravagant – but as we’ve all been feeling run-down and in need of comfort we feel [...]

Sponsored post Christmas pudding is highly offensive in my book, so I always come up with an alternative to serve up after the main course on Christmas Day. There’s enough to think about when you’re juggling a large roast dinner, so a make-ahead dessert is crucial. In my role as a Sainsbury’s Christmas Ambassador I’ve [...]

Couldn’t resist making this picture as large as possible – hope it’s brought a little warmth to your day!

Father’s Day Chocolate Beetroot Brownies

We were meant to be camping at the coast for Father’s Day weekend, but the hideously wet forecast changed all that. Matthew decided to pitch the tent in the back garden instead – so he and Sam had a ‘guys night’ under canvas. They had a brilliant time! To celebrate Father’s Day and put the [...]
