Why not fill cupcakes, while you’re at it? Somehow I can’t resist punching a hole into the golden surface of the sponge, in order to add just a little extra – marmalade, chocolates, whisky-infused oats, you name it. Perhaps all those piñatas have gone to my head a little, but when it came to making…
When it comes to children’s birthday parties, there’s nothing more entertaining than a giant piñata! This year, as a friend and I joined forces for a combined 4rth birthday bash for our daughters, the piñata had to withstand not only hordes of kids, but also an equally eager gaggle of parents who wanted a go. Fortunately…
The last couple of days have been incredibly busy – planning for and going away for and recovering from a May bank holiday weekend has never been easy. This year, especially with a halfway promising weather forecast, we decided to go to the coast: a caravan on Hayling Island, overlooking the Isle of Wight and…
When I stumbled over Selina’s poppyseed-filled dumplings on her delicious blog Krümelkreationen the other day, I knew I had to give them a go: lightly sweetened yeast dumplings, filled with ground poppy seeds and drowned in custard … my idea of paradise.

Although I really like quinoa – and wouldn’t…
It’s Friday again – and just in time. Fridays call for something special, preferably slightly spectacular, to bring along to Angie’s Fiesta Friday party. But then, again, the end of the week also leaves us with a few bits and bobs, leftovers from various meals and baking experiments. That’s not necessarily a bad thing –…
Only last Week my friend Frau Dietz from Eating Wiesbaden ran a fabulous round-up of German Christmas Treats You’ve Probably Never Hear Of, where a range of English-speaking expats introduced range of treats available in Christmas markets in Germany. Some I had never heard of – I haven’t really visited the North and East of the…
Although I had never heard of Stir Up Sunday before, the idea greatly appealed to me: traditionally the last Sunday before Advent was used in Britain to make the Christmas pudding. The family would gather and each member would get their turn stirring the pudding. With the advent of convenience food, however, this tradition is…
Living in exile means not only missing the foods you grew up with, but also falling in love with the foods you encounter in your new home. In an ideal world, you are able to combine the flavours and textures in some sort of fusion – which is what I have tried to do with…
