Cherries are currently in season, and I bought loads of them planning to be all healthy and snack on them during the week. I failed on that! So I made this Cherry Clafoutis which I got from Nigel Slater in the Guardian instead. You can’t go wrong really with cherries and batter can you? Cherry…

Porto and Fi
Yesterday morning after a little incident in the kitchen, rendering it unusable, we were stuck with what to do about breakfast. As we work in Stirling and have to leave reasonably early there is little open, except for – the Brewers Fayre?! Not really wanting to go down this route I trawled the web looking…
From Farm to Jar
Last weekend we eventually visited Craigies Farm in South Queensferry. We have been talking about it for years and now I eventually have collected enough old jam jars, so it was time to go! We had a spot of lunch there to build up the energy to go fruit picking. A lovely bowl of homemade…
Chorizo Omelette
Our fridge was a little bare this evening, with little to inspire on first glance. But with a closer look I spotted more eggs than two people would ever need and 3 little tiny new potatoes. Suddenly I was inspired – a Spanish Tortilla especially since there was also an aging Chorizo buried at the…

Rolo Cupcakes Ingredients Cupcakes 175g Self raising Flour 175g Light Soft Brown Sugar 175g Margarine 3 Eggs 1 tsp. Baking Powder…
A Night at the Museum
This was no ordinary night at the museum, no stuffed animals or mummies coming alive, just 2000 people, a DJ, 2 bands, a silent disco…and a bar. This was RBS Museum Lates. The theme was ‘ A Night in Wonderland’, and what a wonderland it was too. There were ‘beer gardens’, magic carpets, giant jenga,…
