I’m not in a relationship so this Valentine’s Day I’ve made it my favourite dessert for my mates instead! The presentation isn’t great I’m afraid as I was in a rush, but it tastes sooooo damn good! Calories – no idea, best not to know! Make 3 stupidly big ones. Or 6 smaller ones. Make…

Not so traditional Spag Bol – Recipe
This is a massive bastardisation of the traditional Spaghetti Bolognese. I love italian food but I also love adding loads of stuff to traditional recipes and seeing what happens. I used to make this loads, and have always had a good reaction to it so it can’t be too bad! I cooked this for my…

4550 miles from Delhi – Nottingham
I’ve been to 4550 miles from Delhi a few times and always found it really lovely. It’s usually the sort of place my friends and I go for a special occasion. The staff are really lovely and nothing ever seems like too much trouble. I’m always greeted like a regular, although I don’t frequent enough…

Sherwood Manor – Carrington
I don’t hide the fact that I LOVE pub chains. Sherwood Manor, part of the Hungry Horse chain, serves HUGE meals at low prices, perfect for the day before payday when you can’t be bothered with cooking or washing up. Don’t expect the best food in the world, but do expect decent pub food, huge…
Fothergills – Nottingham
Yesterday afternoon I went on a date. We were supposed to meet at 3pm at the Castle (I’ve never been even though I’ve lived here for nearly 5 years) but when we got there we weren’t allowed in. So we headed for a couple of drinks at the Crafty Crow, before heading to Fothergills for…

Cosmo – Nottingham
Cosmo… Out of this world?? Having tried most of the buffet restaurants in Nottingham, and finding them lacking in both service and cuisine, I wasn’t particularly interested when Cosmo opened its doors a little under year ago. My best friend (or to quote Friends, my ‘GalPal’) Trace, who I’ve not seen in a couple of…
Rye – Beeston
It was a beautiful sunny day today, and so I decided to take my friend for a little boozy lunch. Situated on the main high street of Beeston is Rye Cafe Bar, a lovely classy coffee shop-cum-bar. The exterior is swanky and cool, with an outside seating area comprising of a few wooden tables and metal…
Chutney – Nottingham
Indian food. I enjoy it, but although I have been to some of the ‘best’ restaurants in Nottingham, I have never felt that I loved it. A good curry isn’t cheap and I love a bargain so when I saw a wowcher deal for Chutney, I had to do it.
Le Mistral Nottingham
I have wanted to try Le Mistral, on Wheeler Gate, for ages. I love French food and spent 6 weeks travelling around the South of France in my late teens. My issue with French cuisine is that a lot of it contains cream, and as I am lactose Intolerant I can’t really eat it. However,…
