It was cold and wet in York on Sunday, so, looking for somewhere to duck into, Eleanor and I practically ran into The York Roast Co for a bite to eat. We had walked past the window of it a few times over the course of the last couple of days, gazing in through the…

Source – York
So a weekend of good food and good company was on the cards as Eleanor and I headed to York. We wanted to try as many good places in the 3 days we were there and so a quick Tripadvisor check was needed. At number 7 on Tripadvisor was Source, in the centre, just by…
Dairy Free ‘Carbonara’ – Recipe

Serves 2 Ingredients 160g dry Spaghetti (I do 80g per person) 2 eggs 4 rashers of bacon Salt and pepper to season Method…
My Shanghai – North ShieldsÂ
I’m going to be in Newcastle pretty frequently over the next few months so I’m trying as many restaurants as possible. My friend Arran and I really fancied Chinese, specifically all-you-can-eat Chinese. A quick google bought up My Shanghai, a buffet style restaurant in North Shields. We missed it the first time, it’s right on…

The multi-million pound entertainment complex looked amazing when the photos were released to the public a few weeks…
Roasted Vegetables and Herb Chicken – Recipe
I’ve mentioned many a time how much I love quick dinners, the occasional packet mix, and tasty food. Today I managed all 3 with a little help from my friend… Maggi. The ‘so tender’ range of packet mixes are ideal if you like succulent, flavoursome chicken but don’t always have time to prepare a meal….
My new site!
Hi All My lovely friend Rob (pictured with me below) has been working behind the scenes to change my blog from a wordpress.com site to a .org site. I am pretty tipsy in this! Don’t ask me what that means as I have no clue, but it is supposed to make things simpler and easier…
Fennel & Bacon Pasta – Recipe
I love aniseed, and so fennel is one of my favourite herbs. I adapted this a little from a Good Food recipe I saw today, using things in my store cupboard. Most of the pasta I cook is quick, easy and mostly boring. This was anything but boring! It was ready in around 30 minutes. …
