Mr Rathbone and myself decided to celebrate spending 57 years on this here planet by attempting to consume 57 Heinz based meals in a year. Did we manage it? YES! It was loads of fun as we sourced lots of Heinz things that aren’t on the supermarket shelves here in the UK, and used lots...
I am going on a week’s writing retreat on Monday and I cannot wait. I’ll be here… More specifically here… I’ll be working on the Murder, She Wrote book and trying not to disturb the three other writers in the building with the sound of the theme song playing over, and over, and over…. They...
I am back from my holiday where I have to admit, I ate like a piglet. There was so much amazing food including slip sole at my favourite restaurant in the whole wide world – The Sportsman in Seasalter. Also, a new discovery and possibly already now my SECOND favourite restaurant in the whole wide...
This recipe is a winner. When you have folks round for lunch you can present them with a great big bowl of pleasing looking and super tasty potatoes. This dish is easy to prepare and lip-smackingly good. Totally recommended. I made this for my Pieathalon guests. Taryn of Retro Food For Modern Times was in...

I’m serving up some devilishly ghoulish fare,...
Quick as a flash, after the horrorfest that was Robert Quarry’s Beer and Cheese Soup, he has redeemed himself. Mmmm – this is GOOD potato salad. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE potato salad. I always make it the same way though. To my friend Alastair Hendy‘s recipe from Home Cook. Man I...
I should have loved this. Beer. Cheese. Soup. Three things I love. Also bacon. Alas, it was not the beer and cheese soup that was in my mind’s eye. It was very weird. I think I made it look pretty good for the photo though…. The truly odd thing about it was the ball of butter...
I wonder if Vera was a glamorous name in the 1980s in America when this recipe was published? For me, the name Vera always brings to mind Vera Duckworth from Coronation Street, so the name of this recipe is kinda humorous for me… In a way, it is probably the kind of thing Vera Duckworth might...
