Months ago I bought some rice paper summer roll wrappers, I had a go at making them where you soak them and wrap them around the filling. But I thought, why stop there? I wonder if I can bake them or fry them and make them into spring rolls. One long story full of exploding…
Here we are – 4th of October. I am now back at University, settling back into my usual routine and getting used to my early morning starts (I have been very spoiled this summer with some lovely lay ins!) Autumn means a lot of things to me – it is my favourite season of the…
Madeleines are one of my all time favourite foods. They always bring back memories of travelling in France with my family. A super-big bag of madeleines from the local supermarket was a cheap and very effective way of keeping me and my sisters quiet in the back seat of the car all afternoon! I’ve wanted…
Falafel is one of my favourites at the moment and I was buying a mix in the supermarket – but then I discovered how easy it is to make! I’ll go through it step by step and you can see. So for ingredients you will need: 1 cooked and cooled sweet potato (you could…
When I was younger I was a bit scared of seafood. I prefer it when food doesn’t look like the animal it came from and the claws/eyes/pincers/legs/tails do freak me out. I know that some people like it because they feel that they feel like it brings them closer to the animal and there’s a…
I’ve realized I haven’t posted a lot of recipes recently – but here’s one that I’ve eaten a few times over the last few weeks.

Stress is overtaking my life. If deadlines weren’t enough we are now coming into exam season. I have a beautiful color coded exam timetable now on my bedroom wall but if anything it reminds me of how much I have left to do! EEK! I believe that health is the basis for all things. Without…
I can honestly say the last few weeks have been totally bizarre for food and drink. I’ve eaten more chocolate than is probably recommended for one human being and I’ve lived off sugary drinks – bouncing from one sugar high to the next. I like to blame my deadlines (I’ve had four recently and the…
Bibendum, commonly referred to as the Michelin Man, is the symbol of the Michelin tire company. He is one of the world’s oldest trademarks. The slogan “Nunc est bibendum” (Now is the time to drink) is taken from Horace’s Odes – and that’s pretty old. The Bibendum Restaurant is situated in South Kensington, London and is actually…
I haven’t blogged since the 12th of February! That’s a huge deal for someone who usually posts every three days! But thank you to those who have been reading my previous posts anyway! I can see you in my stats and you all give me warm, fuzzy feelings! A part of my recent problem was…
