Bangers and Peaches Curry Recipe I know, not really a combination I would have thought of, but what a tasty dinner it is! And not only is it delicious, but it is quick and cheap too. Pie is my sister in law. She is also one of my dearest friends. I’ve never told you how […]
Super Simple Hollandaise Sauce With Basil
Super Simple Hollandaise Sauce (using a stick blender) I love Hollandaise sauce and can, for the life of me, not understand why it took me 30 years to make my first batch. Now I probably make it way too often, but that’s another story. The photo above, by the way, is quite bubbly. That is […]

The first is to layer the colours in the same pan. This gives you a mind-blowing array of colours. Unfortunately you can never tell exactly how this […]
DIY Bath Paints
I’m going to keep this short and simple for a change. My boys love painting in the bath and I am sure they are not the only ones. But bath paints and bath crayons are so expensive. Right? WRONG! I am going to tell you how to make your own bath paints with ingredients you […]
Make your own GLUE
Here you will find my favourite 2 home-made glue recipes: Tacky Gelatin Glue and Corn starch glue/paste. I have used corn starch glue quite a bit and have really liked the results. But my new favourite is gelatin glue! It is a bit more of a hassle to use once it has cooled down, because […]

Chocolate and Coconut Banana Cake
