Dinner Party Days
Wednesday 14th AugustRight, back to Wednesday since this is a blog about food. My friends Dave and Suz came over to see my flat for the first time since I moved in, in February. I absolutely love hosting people for dinner so like to go a bit all out. For this one I decided to…
A week of getting behind
Edit: OH my goodness! I have massively got out of the habit of writing. And what was a few days behind has turned into weeks! I think its a bit of a result of anxiety and worry sometimes, is that you fail miss a day and lose momentum and think you have ruined it. But…
Cooking with myself

Thank goodness for friends
Tonight’s dinner brought to you by my amazing friend Laura who is staying with me this week. Lamb burgers, roasted sweet potatoes, tomatoes, mange tout and some “massaged kale”. My contribution was harrisa mayo (which, though delicious, did not constitute a proper meal) It’ll be my turn tomorrow, a rule I’ve enforced myself to begin…
