Home cooked recipes from a Farmhouse kitchen
My food pictures have been creating quite the stir on social media this week. Already fans of The Black Farmer sausages, we have been trying out his new range of pork products raised without antibiotics. Leading the way in being the first mainstream brand to introduce the produces, The Black Farmer has worked closely with…
We eat out very little and a take away is a rare treat. I suppose it is a combination of running a business and having young children. Therefore I do tend to cook from scratch most nights and I have been thinking a lot lately about the staples in my kitchen. You know, the things…
Christmas dinner. The Michelin star equivalent of home cooking for whoever is making it. I have stressed out about it. I have perfection issues when it comes to Christmas. It actually started a few weeks ago when I worked out how many people would be eating here. Then I worry about which vegetables to do,…
I have always enjoyed feeding my children Hipp Organic foods. Not only do they like them-which, with small children and babies is, in my opinion, the most important thing, they are a family farming business and you know how much that means to me.

All weather is magnified here-especially wind. It is a result of being so open on the farm with no buildings…
I have always loved cook books. When I was a little girl, my mum had a cook book which I used to copy the recipes out of and re-draw the photos. It kept me entertained for hours and I always dreamed that some day I would write a cook book of my own. It was…
Getting your children to eat enough healthy and nutritious food is, in my opinion, one of the most important thing you can do as a parent. I am currently experiencing what can only be described as hell two different ends of the scale. On one side, with the baby, I am embarking on my favourite…
I had a bit of a foray into using a slow cooker when I first moved in with Hubster. I enjoyed making meals in a morning before work and knowing tea was ready when I got in. Something wasn’t quite right though and the food always tasted a bit funny. I can’t put my finger…
