Asian beef and rice bowl

There are many addictions in the world and it would be remise of me not to admit to one of my own. Cooking magazines. Not quite as bad as cook books, although the only reason I buy magazines is because I have so many books that my shelving is beginning to look a […]

Need to use – Banana

As I mentioned in the first series of this subject, sometimes I find the most simple and delicious creations can be inspired by things that need to be used up. This cake was inspired by some fast becoming blacker than the ace of spades bananas that were in our fruit bowl. I was […]

In need of a sweet treat – Orange polenta biscuits

Today was one of those days when I sincerely appreciated how the world works. You know what I mean, when things just seem to work out for the best. This morning I was supposed to go for an early walk with a girlfriend I haven’t seen in some time, but […]

Hello world!
