GRAPEFRUIT + BLOOD ORANGES WITH HONEY + CORIANDER SEED TOASTED OATS

Fruit salad isn't normally my thing. It's probably a hangover from those tins of fruit salad from the 70's that were served up at school in a pool of evaporated milk.

CHOCOLATE + {GOLDEN} BEETROOT CAKE

I've got out of the habit of posting here on my blog, preferring the easier more instant Instagram as a way to share my thoughts and images. So here by way of a big tick on my 'should do list' is a recipe for Chocolate Beetroot cake.

DOUBLE GREENS & FILO PIE

I have no problem with eating my greens - I could probably give Popeye a run for his money. Spinach, Chard, Spring Greens and Kale - I love them all. This simple pie welcomes any of the aforementioned green leaves.

RHUBARB CRUMBLE FLAPJACK SLICES

A couple of weeks ago, when the new season rhubarb first appeared in the shops, I bought a bright pink bunch without much of a plan as to what I was going to do with it.

FRIED RISOTTO WITH RED CABBAGE SALAD

This post is really a 'part two' to the previous one; Spinach Risotto with Parmesan Cheese & Nutmeg. These fried risotto cakes, made with the previous evenings leftovers, made a quick lunch the following day with a simple red cabbage salad.

SPINACH RISOTTO WITH PARMESAN CHEESE & NUTMEG

Last summer we took our family holiday in Denmark and on our first trip into Copenhagen we discovered Grød; the world's first 'porridge restaurant'.

ORANGE AND CINNAMON BISCUITS

Baking these biscuits will fill your kitchen with the most Christmassy aroma. Later today Arthur and I are going to make a couple of batches as Christmas gifts for his teachers.

COCONUT YOGHURT BARK

This is yoghurt bark. Have you heard of it before? I hadn’t until recently. It is really too simple to class as a ‘recipe’, it’s more just a case of throwing some ingredients together.

COCONUT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

When I was a kid I always thought that a Bounty chocolate bar was the most sophisticated choice of confectionery. After all its adverts which featured tropical beaches and coconut palms promised ‘the taste of paradise’.

COCONUT, BLUEBERRY & PISTACHIO FROZEN YOGHURT

Yogurt is big in our family. Sometimes it’s plain and used to add a creamy finish to our morning porridge along with some berries and toasted nuts. Sometimes it is a fruit yogurt served as a quick weekday pudding.

CHEDDAR & SAGE SCONES

Scones. I remember my mum making them when I was a child - plain, fruit and cheese ones. They one of the first foods we learnt to make as a children.

BUTTERMILK SPONGE CAKE

This blog is always the first casualty when life shifts up a gear or when life turns upside-down as it has during the past couple of months.

LEMON, HAZELNUT & RHUBARB CAKE

I've been looking forward to sharing these images of my Lemon, Hazelnut & Rhubarb cake on the blog. I've had to wait as the cake was part of a shoot I did back in June for The Simple Things magazine.

MALTESER CHOCOLATE BIRTHDAY CAKE

Last week Lily turned eleven. She's growing up fast. She loves clothes, bath bombs, board games, colourful stationery, her new i-pod, reading books. She likes cooking, playing her violin and she has an in-depth knowledge of world flags.

CARROT CAKE

During half-term the kids and I made this cake. It was, until then, an untouched recipe in a well-used cook book.

AUBERGINE, LEMONGRASS & SPROUT CURRY

Over the years I've fallen for and followed an immeasurable number of food blogs. Many have inevitably slipped along the way, but there are a small handful that I have followed for so long that many of their recipes have become regular dishes on my dinner table.
