There is a small part of me that borders on the embarrassed when I caveat a recipe with an apology for it’s simplicity. But why, in terms of cooking, should simplicity even be scorned? Surely that’s what we’re looking for, right? Recipes that require the least amount of skill, the least amount of time, the … Continue reading POTATO ROSTIS
It’s not very ‘good modern blogger’ of me to tell you to ignore your kids for a few minutes, but sod it, I’m going to do it. I know a lot of my readers have children and while I don’t have any myself, I understand that throwing together certain dishes when you are under the … Continue reading ASPARAGUS, POACHED EGG & GARLIC BACON
For real though, I’ll take my breakfast as extra I can get it these days. Usually my breakfast is snatched granola at my office desk but given that my commute these days is nothing more than 6 steps from my bed to dining room, I can afford a little time to rustle something together. I’m … Continue reading BUTTERMILK CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
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.

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
I always joke whenever I post a recipe that contains a chia seed or some kind of oat that I’m NOT a Deliciously Helmsley Clean Eater. 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
MIKEY AND THE KITCHEN.
