I’ve not been to the Corn Exchange for a long time so it was great to be invited to Cosy Club to try their new menu launched in May. Having always had a positive experience at the quirky restaurant in the past thanks to the friendly, attentive staff, it was so nice to return this […]

Veggie ‘Pulled Pork’ BBQ Nachos
Back in autumn last year, I created a recipe in collaboration with Jack Daniel’s using their delicious BBQ sauces. This time round as part of their latest campaign, I’ve gone down the veggie route to show off how versatile the products and how easy it is to cook with them. While BBQ sauces are mostly associated […]

Zesty Salmon Buddha Bowl
Although I’m not the biggest fish eater, I enjoy eating salmon occasionally – it has to be a chunky, juicy fillet served with plenty of flavour and different elements to the dish. That’s why I was excited to partner up with The Saucy Fish Co. to feature their hero product, Salmon with Chilli, Lime and […]

A Family Feast At Wagamama
It’s just dawned on me that my last post about Wagamama (visiting the St Peter’s branch in Manchester) was just over a month after Tom was born – and he’s nearly a year old! Doesn’t time fly. Back then it was our first restaurant experience since he came into the world and this time round, […]

Chocolate Mousse & Freeze-Dried Berry Tarts
You might have noticed that I love adding a touch of freeze-dried berries (mainly raspberries) to finish off recipes, just because it makes them look that little bit prettier while also adding a splash of colour and touch of flavour. So when the opportunity came up to work with Lio-Liocious, a European freeze-drying company specialising […]
