Dairy-free Madeleines Recipe

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…

Sweet Potato Falafel!

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…

Date Night – Loch Fyne

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…

The Restaurant at Bibendum

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…

How Not to Handle Criticism and Positive Thinking.

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…

Its so cool as you can see all the donuts being made and decorated through the glass down the side! I got really excited several months ago about…

Make your own Ranch Dip Powder!

I first discovered Ranch dressing at Subway. It was an optional sauce you could add to your sandwich at the end of the production line and as soon as I tried it – I loved it’s garlicky goodness! For a really long time it wasn’t available in stores here in the UK – in America…

Risotto alla Milanese

Risotto has got to be one of the ultimate comfort food. It’s cheesey, creamy, oozy and has a deliciously comforting velvety texture. Risotto alla Milanese translates as risotto with saffron – and ingredient I’ve not had much time to use as a student! But I finally got my hands on some this week and this…

Sausage Meat Bolognaise

As much as I enjoy the twinkly, magical atmosphere, Winter makes me feel lousy. Now I don’t know whether it’s the lack of sunlight or the fact that its cold all the time – but sometimes I would just like to tuck up in bed and hibernate until the world wakes up again in Spring!…
