A few months ago on Twitter, Astrid commented that someone had said that it was easier to use store bought green curry paste for a home cooked curry than to make your own. We both agreed that we completely disagree with this comment. Making your own green curry paste is not hard. In fact, it […]
Today’s recipe is once again from Alicia Ambroso, aka Ali the Runner. I follow Alicia on Twitter, and she is a great source of food inspiration, workout motivation, and old school tunes. She also writes a great blog which is well worth a read. And she’s doing a marathon this year for TNT (Leukaemia and […]
This is the second Friday of “bread” posts, spurred on by the discussions I’ve had in real life and on Twitter about the joys of home-baked bread. The first recipe (posted 19 January) was for an “almost no-knead” bread. This week I am posting my recipe for a traditional (read – knead it yourself or […]

I hope you enjoy the recipe and happy holidays!)My mother had what can only be described as a passion for cheesecake. Maybe it was because she was […]
In August of 2009 I was reading my Twitter account, and one of the people I “follow”, Kelownagurl, posted that she was making some minestrone soup. Now, if you are on Twitter or follow me on Twitter, you will know that I use it for training motivation, London information, random bits of funny insights to […]
