More for the adults I got the feeling (3 generations of family + guests) than the birthday boy. Like most parties then ;) Bit of deja vu when I turned up at the house, realised I had cooked there about 4 years ago. Love those Watermark houses - what I...

The name's Benson. James Benson. Wait a minute.... haven't I used that opening before? Naturally Mr Bond. That would be the James Bond themed dinner we cooked 2 years ago . This time round, as we had a better prep team in the days before it gave...

As with quite alot of posts, this one originates from Twitter. Alex James, the former bass player with Blur, has written a column for The Sun newspaper. Normally the tabloid rag wouldn’t get column inches on this blog, being a Liverpool Football...

Hmm. Shall we go for cheese or dessert? Dessert or cheese? Decisions. Decisions. For this party we did both. On the same plate. When I found this goats cheese cheesecake with strawberry granita recipe, @michaelnatkin also suggested another of his previous...

Careful what you post on the blog - someone might just see it. I made the Lobster mac n cheese above back in January as a one off. Well it was a going to be a one off. But when the host of of the murder mystery/ birthday last Saturday saw it that was...

Can't resist a play on words me - macaroni bries? I ask you! Just 3 ingredients - a self saucing mac n' cheese - how easy & luxurious does it get? I really didn't set out to use these luxury ingredients for this mac n'cheese challenge...

When I saw these a couple of months ago on Good Mood Food I had to try them. The very next day in fact. I served them along with the palmiers and allumettes I had made for a hen party. These are the ones I made last Friday afternoon for a last minute...
