Quite often, the recipes we use involve a bit of a tweak to accommodate whatever veg is fresh from the garden, and we have a few go-to recipes that are very easy to tweak. One of these is our version of shakshuka. So if you’ve not heard of shakshuka before, […]
A good plain scone, real butter and a cup of earl grey are one of life’s joys. Well for me, Kate likes fruit scones (yuck), covered in jam. However, I have frustratingly found that all the recipes I have tried for making my own scones have been a disappointment. Small […]
This my friends is our date night delish. You know that recipe we all have for a special occasion, well this is ours. We usually make this for a nice valentine’s meal or other special night. Like date night. If the thought of making your own ravioli from scratch and […]

I’ve been involved in a bit of a Facebook rant recently about Halloween and the fact that Scottish kids celebrate this as the American version (trick or treat) rather than holding onto the traditional Scottish celebrations I knew as a kid. It’s just one of those things; the world is […]
Happy St George’s Day to all our Ar Bruadair readers who are celebrating! After the success of our St Patrick’s day and St David’s day posts, we knew we had to come up with something great for St George’s day but boy was it difficult to come up with a celebration […]
We did a couple of posts a while back about all the fun we were having with our pasta machine, making ravioli and Chinese dumplings. Last night the machine was dragged out again, this time to make tagliatelle. Fun with a pasta machine More fun with a pasta machine So if you […]
