We’ve just had a wonderful week away in France, where all the food was cooked for us. I love being cooked for. One of the days we had rhubarb crumble. Rhubarb is one of those fruits that I adore but don’t cook very often as the rest of the family are not as keen on

This week my Archchi came to visit. This is my Sri-lankan grandmother, fondly known to the whole family as Archchi (granny in Singhala). She lives in London and has the greenest fingers of anyone I know. Years ago she had 2 allotments, now its just her garden that produces mainly vegetables, lots of vegetables. From

I’ll admit it, we bake with bananas a lot. They help reduce the amount of fat and sugar needed in baking and we often end up with a few over-ripe ones. Now no-one in our house eats over-ripe bananas, baking with them makes sure they aren’t wasted. If I don’t have time to bake then

She asks for “pink biscuits”, “sweeties” and snacks that generally she knows are not for everyday eating and Daddy finds it hard to negotiate.

New toys…. getting a new breadmaker has sent me I’ll admit, a bit breadmaker-tastic. I made wheat free pizza base, normal pizza base, gluten free bread, normal bread and these tortilla wraps all in one weekend. Having chatted about Mexican food and sampled some Nacho’s recenltly I had a desire to make fajitas…. which turned

When it’s hot, ice cream calls! However much I love the creamy taste of ice cream, too much of it’s richness does not agree with my tummy or waistline. Frozen yoghurt is a much healthier option and this one has the bonus of being fulled of calcium and fruit with a little added sugar. So
