Goats Cheese and Vegetable Pasta
It’s not unusual for us to get to the stage in the week where we have nothing planned for dinner, and can’t be bothered to go to the shops to get anything. This recipe evolved on one such occasion and has now become a dish we regularly plan for. Its quick, easy and can be…
Wild Garlic and Mushroom Baked Eggs
It’s this time of year that the banks of the Water of Leith, in certain parts, overflow with the smell of Wild Garlic. The season is short, March to June , so you need to be quick to get yourself some. Wild Garlic is a tasty and free food, so get out there and get…
Hot Cross Buns
Continuing my Easter Baking I just had to make Hot Cross Buns, the Easter holiday is not complete without them! I decided this time to use a Paul Hollywood recipe, having made a bread recipe of his a while back and it turned out really well, so I was confident these too would be pretty…
Pineapple & Coconut Spring Rolls
Inspired by Chinese New Year and the fact I had a pineapple, I decided to try and make some spring rolls. I usually shy away from making things deep fried, because I don’t have a fryer and I don’t like using a pot of hot oil instead, however after the success of the Haggis Pakora,…

Valentine Piñata Cake
I’ve been pinning on Pinterest Piñata Cakes for a while, but never seem to have the right occasion to make one, until I seen this Conversation Heart Piñata Cake for Valentines Day. I have loads of Conversation Hearts left over from wedding cupcakes I did a while ago, so thought I could use them up…
Nutella Ice Cream
Over Christmas I bought far too much cream, and I didn’t want to just pour all that creamy goodness down the drain, so had the inspired idea to make some easy ice cream. I can’t deny my love for Nutella so with plenty of that to hand I set about making this easy (though not…
Neenish Tarts
You are probably thinking ‘What on earth are Neenish Tarts’?, unless of course you are Australian, in which case I am hoping you know! I was idly surfing the web and realised it was Australia Day on Monday, so I decided to see what other sweet treats down under has to offer other than the…
