The first time I was ever introduced to flatbreads was through an employer of mine back in Canada.
I love fresh bread. I have fond childhood memories of visiting my friend’s house when her mother had her bread-baking days.

We live out in the country where there are no takeaways. If we were to get a takeaway we’d have to drive for at least half an hour to town and back
I simply adore garlic, onions and roast chicken and this French-inspired recipe is a most delicious way to combine all three ingredients.

Some time ago a fellow food blogger wrote about using avocado in chocolate frosting instead of butter. I like avocado, but I was sceptical – wouldn’t you be able to taste the avocado? HHrrmmm.. I dunno. I filed the idea away in my brain as something to try at a later date.
The OH is one of those skinny people: an ectomorph. You know, one of those people who can eat and eat and eat and not put on a single ounce.
Our eldest turned thirteen the other day. I am officially the mother of a teenager – how did that happen? I’m not old enough to have a teenage child!
The first time I’ve ever tasted a traditional fruity tea loaf was, surprisingly, just last month at the National Theatre of Scotland Ignition finale.
For March’s No Waste Food Challenge I challenged you to make and share recipes using up eggs, and I’d like to thank all the bloggers who did so. You’ve come up with a fantastic and delicious selection of egg recipes.
All the awesomeness of a pizza without the dreaded carbohydrates! This is a deliciously eggy omelette loaded with all your favourite pizza toppings – a perfect quick meal for two (or four if you serve it with a substantial salad).
