This past Christmas we were given a Kilner butter churner. If you are looking for a super quality butter you need to try this. Easy in terms of ingredients, but requiring a lot of muscle and determination- before long you will have home made butter and a slight feeling of pride that you can really […]

Blueberry Coriander Muffins
I am quietly obsessed with flavor combinations these days and was looking for something to add to our normal blueberry muffin to make it stand out a bit. In her book, The Flavour Thesaurus, Niki Segnit suggests that coriander lends itself well to enhancing the flavor of blueberry muffins because of its floral citrusy aroma. […]
Smoked Blackfish Kedgeree
For Father’s Day my husband received a small Weber Smoker from our children. We decided to use it to smoke two pieces of blackfish which were caught locally and given to my husband by a colleague.

Peach Thyme Muffins

French Toast with Banana Whipped Cream
We buy a lot of bananas in our house. They are generally used for smoothies or cut up and put into cereal. Every so often I find an overripe one (that had been forgotten as a lunchtime snack) nestled into the smallest compartment of a child’s backpack. Overripe, smushy, brown…you know the ones.

When I was a little girl we always had a bottle of molasses in our kitchen cupboard. It is my very first memory of seeing a food product. To the right of our stove in the upper cabinets the little glass bottle with the rabbit on it seemed like it was always there. I even […]
Breakfast Pizza
When I set down the bowl of cereal in front of our six year old son I believe his exact words were “this is boring.” And, while he was not wrong, it was a school day. Can’t breakfast be quick and easy? Doesn’t he know I forgot to make the lunches the night before… and […]
Sausage & Cheddar Muffins from Food & Wine
For Christmas we received Market Math, the cookbook from Food & Wine which is based on the column of the same name from their magazine. In the column, they take one ingredient and use it four ways. It is genius and allows you to buy that bigger package of something and know it won’t go […]
