Hi all, how are you doing? I was updating my mood board yesterday and I’m in middle of sourcing gorgeous images for it. I think it’s a great idea to stay focused and keep goals for the year at the forefront of your mind. Has 2016 been all you hoped it would be? It’s been a good year for me so far. …
Hey all, how are you doing? The lovely Nigella made a welcome return to our screens last night and I had eagerly set my Skybox to record in anticipation. That’s another cooking programme I must watch (which is doing my NaNoWriMo no favours, mind), but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. I loved the 30 minute, compact and easy to…
Hi guys, hope all is well. People keep asking me which recipe I used for my recent bake (the delicious Bakewell Tart that I posted in a blog a short while ago). It was a recipe from Lisa Faulkner’s Tea & Cake cookbook. Please find below recipe – whenever you use, please do credit Lisa with it. Happy baking! Betty’s…
Hey all, How’s it going? Did you watch Bake Off last night? Wasn’t it just splendid? Commiserations to Alvin, who put up a valiant fight. I’m Team Tamal, who do you think will stay the distance? Highlights of the show included more animated face-pulling from the team (it should be entitled Great British Gurn Off) and Paul (the baker’s) Christmas…
I can’t believe it’s been a week since the Bolton Food Fest. It’s one of the biggest food festivals in the country. Latest figures show over a whopping 200,000 people were in attendance (THAT’s why it was so crowded), with many making the trans-atlantic foodie pilgrimage from far afield as Cyprus and Australia. So, what’s so great about the Bolton…
Hi guys, how are you all doing? This Derby foodie attended her very first Nottingham Food Festival and I absolutely loved it. Set in the serene Wollaton Hall Park a stone’s throw from the city centre (which is also a deer park), I mingled with the foodie throng as we ate our way through gorgeous burgers, wholesome bread, warm churros…
Hey guys, what were you up to this lovely Bank Holiday weekend? I had the best time ever. I was one of hundreds of thousands of foodies who flocked to Bolton for the town’s biggest and best food and drink festival yet. Organisers are still calculating visitor figures but early indications suggest they are set to top last year’s 152,000, with…
Hey guys, Second post of the day I know, but I just had to hop on to tell you about an ab fab and very special celebrity afternoon tea served up by award winning pattisier Slattery. It’s on the menu for Bolton Food and Drink Festival and I cannot WAIT for it! Celebrity chef and actress Lisa Faulkner, Great British…
Hi all, how’s it going? This foodie cannot wait for the Bolton Food and Drink Festival, which is just around the corner. I have interviews lined up with a whole bunch of beyond cool chefs, including restaurant reviews in Bolton so watch this space and I promise you won’t be disappointed. What have you got planned for the upcoming bank…
This is one of the highlights of my year and it’s just around the corner. Yes, details of this year’s Bolton Food & Drink Festival have just been confirmed, with an all-star chef line-up and a packed menu of birthday treats to celebrate Bolton’s 10th outing. I think John Torode must have waxed lyrical to his pretty witty girlfriend,…
