Good morning all. I’m taking a few minutes out before I begin the study time to bequeath onto you the first of my chocolate cookalongs recipes. Now, I chose a few different things to make, as I wanted to look at the versatility of chocolate. However, as a complete and utter chocaholic, this ended up as a … Continue reading
You know when you tweak a recipe and it goes wrong. It’s so disappointing. You know what is not disappointing. This treacle scones recipe (Treacle is like molasses to all you them there foreign people). Oh my lord I love them. Now if you don’t like treacle, you are probably not going to like these. … Continue reading
I am busy. I did not expect to be this busy. At the minute, I have to finish an eportfolio, fix up my psychiatry public speaking, organise a trip down to waterford to spend an hour in the hospital getting some information, write up a case presentation, and of course I must study! But yet … Continue reading
Now first things first. These are called SC-OH-NES. Not scons as my father says, bless his cotton socks (that are clearly not helping his pronunciation). Right then.

Now, living on a farm in the back arse of nowhere generally means that the only baked goods on the menu … Continue reading
This was a rather yummy dinner. I tasted some of Mary’s risotto one day and vowed to make it or something similar. And so, one dismal rainy summers day, I stood at the fridge, stared down the pancetta, and began to cook. Now this was kind of put together on the day, so change it … Continue reading
This is taken on my phone as was too lazy to find proper camera but: What’s more, it’s the real deal. Italian recipe from my Italian Mammy (i.e. the one who I lived with for a few weeks in Italy). I made it with 70% chocolate and it’s chocolatey heaven. And I shall share that … Continue reading
So on a windy night long long ago (Sunday) I had just returned from Iron Man 2 (V.Good) and was craving comfort food like a madwoman. I turned away from brownies in despair- they’re no comfort food. Hang on, I’ll give you a minute to reread that. It’s true. And it came to me. Risotto. … Continue reading
