Weekend Eats #1
Now I’m all excited about things again I spend my mornings on the train writing lists on my phone. Mostly lists with sub-lists and even further sub-lists with ideas of what to write about. And now I am indeed excited about things again and my mind is feeling a whole lot quieter and more peaceful…

End of the school holidays
Here are a few snaps from around the new place. Today we have visitors coming, our new pieces of furniture arrive, and I need to get all the girls things ready for school tomorrow.

Almond milk and raspberry soft serve ice cream
With the warm weather upon us I’ve been able to indulge my love for soft serve ice cream – hand made of course. The girls and I eat this for breakfast every day. And every day we choose a different variety of frozen fruit for a different flavour. Some days it’s mango, others strawberry, vanilla…

Mari Vanna – Russian restaurant in Knightsbridge
A few weeks ago I received an email about Mari Vanna, a fairly new Russian restaurant in Knightsbridge. Their wholewheat pancakes looked so gorgeous I emailed right back to say so – you all know I love baking with whole grains. Two weeks later a little surprise – they asked if I’d like to come…

Home made pizza
Since we’ve left the madness of London behind, the crowds, the kebab shops, the off licences everywhere, signs with depressing news headlines, fag butts in the gutter, buildings everywhere and red buses going past, cars beeping, people running red lights – all those things and many good things too. Since we’ve left all that behind…

Victoria Sponge
In typical Lovely Food style I use my usual white spelt flour and a bit of almond meal instead of white flour. It makes for a slightly heavier sponge, but it feels a bit more healthy and rustic. Recipe at Lovely Food.

Cosy at Daylesford
Oh it’s been a fun week at Daylesford. With winter almost upon us the fresh vegetables in the farm shop are incredible, and most of them are from their own garden – such a sight when all the ‘from our own garden’ boxes are ticked. It makes me truly happy to see that. It’s always a…
