Sunday mornings are often reserved for waking up, refusing to surface until you absolutely must, 12 cups of coffee from my Wonder Woman mug and then a cannonball movement through the door to crack on with whatever the day has in store for me. However, I will always find time to throw something hot in … Continue reading EGGS POACHED IN CHILLI TOMATOES
When I say I genuinely do like kale, I promise you that’s not me being pretentious for the blog! I swear. I’m always scared to put kale in a recipe because I know it will induce eye rolls and winces but I genuinely do love the taste and the texture is a nice, robust break … Continue reading KALE, MUSHROOM & SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH ANCHOVY BREADCRUMBS
In life, there are many things we need. Yeah we need water and oxygen and all that nonsense, but a quick pancake recipe that sounds more romantic than it is? It’s definitely one of them. We’ve all woken up bolt-upright Dracula style like “PANCAKES!!” of a morning, haven’t we? Just me. Okay. I have several … Continue reading CHERRY ROSE PANCAKES
My alarm went off at 5:45am the other day. I had a plan. I was going to head to the gym. I was then going to put on a load of washing. I was going to walk and feed the dog. Make myself some healthy banana pancakes and a coffee from the stovetop burner. I … Continue reading CANDIED GINGER & HONEY LIME GRANOLA

But I cook so frequently with said items that I now have to drop the joke and just become one. Whether that means becoming a joke or becoming a … Continue reading TURMERIC CHIA BIRCHER WITH MANDARIN PUREE
A Bloody Mary once saved my life and I’m not even lying My friends and I rented a big ass mansion in the Valleys one cold weekend (there was a hot tub, we got very pissed) and I woke up feeling like I wanted the ground to swallow me up. I don’t do well with … Continue reading BLOODY MIKEY
Maple. Rosemary. Butter. Bacon. Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse uniting to drag me straight to hell because I haven’t given you this recipe sooner. Those four words together on your screen? Magical? Those four things together in your mouth? Game changer. I’ve only recently started roasting my bacon and I must say I’ve been quite … Continue reading MAPLE ROSEMARY BUTTER BACON
An old fashioned doughnut is just IT, isn’t it? I used to manage the marketing for a shopping centre when I was in my early twenties (seems so long ago… God damn it…) and there was a doughnut vendor on-site who would always charm me. If the gaudy colourful van wasn’t enough to Pied Piper … Continue reading APPLE CIDER & SOUR CREAM DOUGHNUTS
So my friends and I are turning 30 this year. You have no idea how sick I felt writing that intro sentence. God damn it. Where has time gone and when did we stop being 19? First of my friends to turn 30 is Bronwen. I always refer to her as the groups canary. You … Continue reading CUSTARD PANCAKES
So I saw a meme floating around the other day making fun of food bloggers. It poked fun at food bloggers not being able to give you a recipe without some elaborate backstory as to how they came to discover/develop the recipe. Funny because let’s be honest, no bowl of soup needs all that drama, … Continue reading CORNBREAD & CHARRED PADRON PEPPERS
MIKEY AND THE KITCHEN.
