Home cooked recipes from a Farmhouse kitchen
I love Secret Santa’s. They provide so much more fun than choosing gifts the ordinary way. The suspense of what you will receive coupled with the thrill of choosing for someone else and hoping that they will like it. I was approached by Domu to take part in an amazing Secret Santa with other bloggers. … [Read more…]
This year, I’ve decided to choose my ultimate favourite items from this year, group them together and put them in one place for your viewing delight.

We don’t let a little thing like autumn or winter get in the way of our picnics though. We make sure we pack a plastic-backed picnic blanket to ensure there are … [Read more…]
There’s not many people who can boast having had Michel Roux in their kitchen and, while he has not made it to the farm yet, with a baking subscription from BakedIn Ltd, he is here in spirit.
