Liz's pizza omelette

All the kids I know (godchildren included) know that Aunty Liz is not too shabby in the kitchen but all they ever want to make is Pizzas (the youth of today hey?! Ha!) I want them to have fun but cooking the same thing over and over again with them gets a tad tiresome. So when I started the...

An Indian omelette

The great thing about eggs (apart from they're packed with vitamin D – which women need) is that people are just starting to realise that you can use them for main meals and they're not just a breakfast. I have a great recipe for you today which is traditionally your typical breakfast...

Forget the pastry quiche

I love having the girls over for a few glasses of wine to watch Downton Abbey (can't believe it's not back on our screens until the autumn – yuck!). Our boyfriends aren't too keen on period dramas so we all congregate at mine every few episodes. Sometimes they get a bit hungry and...

Cheesey recipes which won't give you nightmares

Last week was my favourite week! (No, not Christmas week or Buy-Your-Friend-A-Very-Expensive-Handbag-Week) but CHEESE WEEK!!!! WOOHOO! Now that made me very happy! Cheese is my chocolate! It's true! Unlike most, I never crave the 'Cacoa goodness' (as one of my friends...

A brilliant fare at Ashburton fair

Many a time I've written about the fabulous foodie town of Ashburton in Devon – but I just can't stop as it never ceases to amaze me! Last weekend I was there for their food festival which has now been happening for three years. It was honestly like no other....

Getting a Brazilian in the heart of Liverpool

It seems that these new Brazilian restaurants are popping up all over the place now. I've been to a few and really enjoy the idea of waiters walking around offering all the different meats including chicken hearts, garlic cap of rump, chilli chicken, smoked gammon, pork ribs and at least...

Friendly Thais

The 'Friendly Thai' on Whetstone High street in North London does exactly what it says on the tin, it's a very sweet Thai restaurant - pretty simple really. We had some lovely dishes there, all pretty tasty, authentic and different although they do offer a few things like spare ribs and...
