Essential Party Pack (for my young daughters who have allergies)
If your primary school aged children don’t have allergies you can wrap a hastily bought present, get them to scribble a card and you’re good to go to a party! Not so the family with you…
World Watercress Soup Championships 2012!
This Sunday in Alresford, Hampshire, UK is the first ever World Watercress Soup Championships – providing the perfect opportunity for my first competitive culinary challenge.
Pea and Watercress Soup
Here’s a picture of my second batch of watercress soup in preparation for the Watercress soup world championship – it was nice (delicious even) but no winner in my opinion! Batch one wi…
Sainsbury’s, this time you did impress (ice lollies part II)
As I’ve mentioned before, Sainsbury’s is normally a complete nightmare to shop in if you are dairy, egg and nut-free, with a complete lack of (or even non existence of) choice in a lot …
English Veggie Brunch
It’s the weekend (and a rather dull, wet one too) so what better lunch could you wish for than an English style veggie brunch.
Granola Bars

Chocolate and Banana Puffs
I think that most people will agree that banana and chocolate is a fantastic combination – and this recipe can be thrown together at a moments notice from just five basic ingredients and then…

Vegan Marshmallows!
As a vegetarian (non-gelatine eating) it’s been a very, very long time since I’ve eaten a marshmallow.
Ginger Snaps
Ginger snaps are lovely biscuits, and while McVitie’s Ginger Nuts are a great dairy, egg and nut free standby, sometimes it’s nicer to have homemade.
Crown Biscuits Fit For The Queen
Little S has a big school trip tomorrow – off to London to watch changing of the guard, see Buckingham Palace and picnic in a Royal Park.
Banoffee Pudding Pots
I used to make these a lot with dairy yogurt (an old recipe from Good Food magazine, although not quite the same) and thought that maybe it could persuade Big S that bananas are worth eating.
Ice Lollies (UK brands and why Tesco come out on top again)
As I mentioned, summer has suddenly arrived in the UK – at last, some might say! So thoughts turn to ice lollies, especially if you’re a child and especially if most ice creams are out …
