I have always lived in the Essex countryside and love delicious food and drink.

I have a busy family life and find myself, at times, trying to be inspired with everyday family meals. I am often adapting recipes, creating new ideas and designing menus. I always promise myself I will not buy yet another cookbook but at some point there will be one out there that I can’t resist!

Even as a foodie I confess to lacking inspiration at times. Baked beans on toast do grace our dinner table now and then. I make no apologies for this.

I have some devil foods, the worst of which (in my opinion) is beetroot. I have found two occasions where it has been served to me in restaurants where it is ”not without its charm” as my husband would say.

This blog is all about my passion for cooking, eating and buying food. I hope it inspires you at times when you are lacking enthusiasm.
