Delicious Italian food in Margate
This year I decided to do a proper Christmas lunch as last year was a bit of a wash out and it didn;t happen. Margate is not far and it has a lovely old town. I have walked past a restaurant called Bottega Caruso. I have seen it but was always on my way somewhere … Continue reading
Summer, Beach, Dogs & Seafood
I have been busy making sauces and pasta for some time and got woeful looks from the dogs, clearly telling me I have not given them enough attention making me feel guilty. It was time for a break.

Seal watching and a great curry
This summer has been incredible, sun shining days on end and it has been unusually hot even in the evenings. We have made the most of the weather and basically lived in the garden. Some days were so hot we have been looking at what we can do to cool down. One day we went … Continue reading
Sweltering heat and delicious food
The summer has been absolutely amazing, hot and sunny and what a luxury to wake up every day and feel that it is beach weather! I haven’t had much time to go to the beach but I go every opportunity I get. The dogs prefer early morning walks on the beach when the tide … Continue reading

Saying that I have very little knowledge about the Caribbean cuisine besides jerk chicken and scotch bonnets. By coincidence I met Ray who has … Continue reading
2015 foodie moments and munching on pork belly
2015 ended in a bit of a blur. I started a new job, it was mad busy to get everything wrapped up before Christmas and then there was Christmas.

An evening with Pama Ham
A while back I had a lovely invite to cook with Parma Ham at Cactus Studios. It seemed that the trains did their best to stop me in my tracks (!), with cancelled trains and delays.
