Sweet Treats

31 January 2012

When the chill of January seeps into your bones and starts getting you down there's nothing like a little sweet treat to perk your spirits. 1. Macarons from The French Oven in Newcastle,  2. Mr Stanley's Rose Creams, 3. Rococo Chocolate lollypop.

Viennese Whirls

29 January 2012

Last night I came home from work craving my pajamas, a lazy take away and a evening in front of the TV with Kris and the cats.  Those plans were scuppered by you, Sky Arts.  For some reason or another, the Sky Arts film crew were filming a scene for an upcoming drama in the courtyard ...

Holga for Nikon

27 January 2012

Last week, my lovely boyfriend came home from work clutching a tiny little parcel.  Upon my inquiring on the contents he handed it over and said 'it's for you'.   Excitedly, and a little suspiciously, I opened the little white box to reveal a teeny lens for my camera.  Closer ...

Passion Fruit Curd

25 January 2012

Passion fruit is one of my very favorite flavours and I'm always looking for new ways to include this delicious fruit in my baking.  I recently came across a recipe for passion fruit curd in one of my monthly foodie reads and instantly folded the corner of the page for future reference.  ...

Red Velvet

19 January 2012

For some reason or another red velvet cupcakes have always alluded me.  Every time I've tested a recipe I was faced with the exact same problem. They didn't rise, they had hard and cracked tops and just didn't look like a cake you'd ever want near your mouth.  I've always blamed the oven, ...

Munchtashes

16 January 2012

Someone told me that moustaches are trendy right now.  Fuzzy, soup straining top lip caterpillars...  I have to admit they're just not for me, Munchtashes on the other hand...  A tastier, less hairy option which we ladies can indulge in also?!  Now that I can handle!

Cupcake Push Pops

09 January 2012

I recently stumbled upon an amazing idea, an idea so amazing yet so simple that I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier.  That idea is, wait for it.... cupcake push pops!!  Awesome, right?!  I used to love push pops when I was a kid, then when posh pops became like, so totally ...

Snapshots of Prague

04 January 2012

I thought I'd share some snapshots from my recent trip to Prague.  Prague is the most stunningly beautiful place at Christmas, every door is adorned with a wreath and the scent of cinnamon lingers in the air.  I have never experienced the city at any time other than the festive season ...

Golden Syrup Pot Puddings

02 January 2012

  So, here we are, 2012. How bad was it that we started a new year on a Sunday?!  I'm sure all those good intentioned healthy eating resolutions were postponed until today.  Mine certainly were. For the first time in six year, Kris and I decided to shun the parties, clubs, pubs and ...

Peanut Butter Blossoms

24 December 2011

A few weeks ago Pet Lamb attended a less than fabulous market.  The high winds which hit the North of England and Scotland saw a four day market turn into a two day rush!  Thanks to the blustery weather I was left with an abundance of Hershey's Kisses which normally adorn the top of our ...
