Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing okay. We’re on day two of schools being closed in Scotland, and last night the government announced even further restrictions on movements. With everyone trying not to go out unnecessarily, and changing their shopping and cooking habits, I thought I would share one of our favourite recipes […] Read more…
Listen up folks, Pancake Day is not far off! I wasn’t going to make anything new this year, but last weekend Mr Fox was feeling poorly so I said I’d make pancakes to cheer him up. He loves his apples and so requested apple and cinnamon pancakes, so I experimented a little with our usual […] Read more…
Burns Night is coming up this weekend, the day that Scotland celebrates its national bard. Many folk gather with the family and friends for a traditional Burns Night Supper – haggis, neeps & tatties, accompanied by various speeches and poetry recitals.

Jam making is something usually associated with the warmer months of the year (such as our fruit & herb jams), but it’s just as easy to make jam even in the midst of winter, and it just tastes better than shop bought too.

My kids are still off school until Thursday, and we felt like a spot of baking this week.

Every recipe I found online included raw eggs, but I wanted the boys to be able to eat them too without risk, so I tried my own egg free variation. They were super simple to make, and the boys gave […] Read more…
One of the things I really miss about German Christmas, since going gluten free, is Stollen. Making it yourself was always such a challenge: the tough yeast dough needs the better part of a day kneading and rising and kneading and rising, if you are lucky enough that it does rise properly. Too many times, […] Read more…
So today, I have a very special ‘guest’ post for you. Oskar, my eldest, is doing something called the Junior Duke Award at school, for which he has to complete various tasks. One task was to cook a soup for his family for dinner, from scratch, which his dad filmed and made in to a […] Read more…
My youngest is really loving vegetarian food at the moment. It’s not anything we’ve pushed, and he does like his sausages too, but he’s been asking a lot for dinners with more vegetables, especially broccoli. So after our cauliflower pasta sauce from a while ago went down so well, I thought I’d mix things up […] Read more…
