Not Just a Man's World

This is an incredibly simple recipe which looks so extremely bizarre and unusual when you serve it up that it becomes a talking point before you ever get to it.  You need to make sure that your bananas are not split anywhere before you start cooking them otherwise you’ll end up with lots of mess [...]

It was Halloween last weekend and, having failed to make a good pumpkin soup last year, I thought I would try my hand at pumpkin pie this year.  I’d never made it before and only eaten it once before, about ten years ago, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect! Much like my onion [...]

A while back I was looking for a basic paleo custard recipe.  I was after pouring custard, a staple of the English winter pudding scene, but instead found a barrage of set custard pudding recipes.  Chris isn’t a fan of egg custard, so I must apologise for subjecting him to a weekend of different custard [...]
