I was told that by the other half that this is one of the best desserts I have ever made and it takes a lot less effort that a lot of things I have tried! It is really simple and also cheap but will definitely impress at a dinner party. If you don’t like pears, …

I have recently bought a book about flavour – it’s like a bible for what goes together, and straight away I picked up on chocolate and cardamon as I really like the taste of cardamon in a dessert. I’d say this one is an aquired taste though so if you don’t like dark bitter choolate …

  Another week another curry! I just can’t get enough. This is really simple and effective and uses things you probably already have in your cupboards so can be rustled up easily for a midweek meal. I used chicken thighs on the bone for this but you could use them without the bone if you …

Espresso Martini Pannacotta.

Is it a dessert? Is it a coffee? is it a cocktail? No, Its all three rolled into one! I am a big fan of an espresso martini and often substitute a dessert for one in restaurants, but at my little dinner party for 2 this weekend I didn’t have to compromise. I don’t cope …

  I have made this dessert for a family Xmas party but its not been eaten yet so the jury is still out on this one! I saw this in one of my magazines and thought I would give it a go as it looked impressive but doesn’t require too much effort, I am not …

Topped off my dinner party this weekend with this little beauty – It didn’t go exactly to plan as I was making it.. I burnt the first caramel so it tasted bitter, I followed the recipe from my Olive magazine for my 2nd batch that is for 6 people.. 6 not very hungry people maybe!!! …
