Join Eli and Kate and share the gardening fun
Kate is a big fan of hot cross buns, I, to be honest, don’t really see what’s so fantastic about them. But hey ho, that doesn’t mean I can’t experiment with making some so Kate can have a treat. Just in case you live somewhere in the world where hot […]
I’m going to call banana bread a useful cake. Yup, useful cause you know how sometimes you end up with random left over bananas that look less than attractive? You know, the ones that sit lonely in the fruit bowl at the end of the week all brown and yucky? […]
We all grow up with family traditions based around certain times of year – birthdays, special events, cultural holidays etc, but as an adult, you get to choose which traditions you carry on and share with your family or indeed which ones you choose to leave behind. The creation of […]
Its December, and for me that means only one thing – its finally mince pie season! But Kate, I hear you cry, mince pies have been in the shops since July – don’t get me started on the ridiculously early appearance of Christmas food, suffice to say that for me […]
Happy St Andrew’s day folks! St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland and 30th November is his day, St Andrew’s day. In all honesty, we don’t actually do anything to celebrate it, it’s just another day and a heck of a lot of Scots probably couldn’t even tell you […]
I have developed a bit of a thing for peanut butter this year, ok if I’m being absolutely honest, I’m a bit obsessed. I eat it on toast, on bagels, straight from the jar when Kate can’t see me… but it took me a bit to realise that there is […]
Happy St Andrew’s day everyone. I thought in honour of the day of the Scottish patron saint (who is also the patron saint of loads of other places), I’d have a go at something a bit special, something from history… am I setting the scene? Are you excited? Parlies or Parliament […]
Tablet is a very, very, very, very, very sugary traditional Scottish sweet. Or as we say in Scotland, a sweetie. Every kid in Scotland grew up eating this stuff and it’s probably responsible for the appalling dental health of my generation and before. Before I go any further I want […]
Happy St David’s Day folks, we hope all our readers in Wales have a brilliant, fun-filled day planned. For the rest of us, here is a lovely little Welsh treat you can cook up to join in the fun. Welsh Cakes! If you’ve never had Welsh Cakes before, oh you have […]
As a wee weekend treat, I like to make pancakes for breakfast and wake kate up with a big plate of pancakes, egg and sausage and a cup of coffee. We’ve been doing this for a few months and even created a youtube video showing you how to do this […]
and this is a glimpse into our life and garden on the east coast of Scotland where we enjoy growing fruit, veg and flowers and cooking indoors and outdoors. 🌱 Join us for fun gardening tips!
