I spend quite a lot of time looking for nutritious recipes to cook for the family, but it’s also nice to make comfort food. I’ve been meaning to try this for a while now as I had some buttermilk in the freezer, but there are hundreds of recipes to choose from online. I chose this recipe by … Continue reading
We were looking for somewhere to go for a Sunday lunch with my mother in law, who lives in Broomhill, and Tripadvisor suggested The Doctor’s Orders, which is right next to the Hallamshire hospital on Glossop Road. We’d always thought it was just a student pub, but it has very good reviews on Tripadvisor for … Continue reading
I’m sorry to say that the BBQ Collective has left The Hop bar in Sheffield. Thanks to @impything for letting me know via Twitter. According to their website, the residency at The Hop was fixed term, and it has expired. However, they hope to come back in 2017 with some exciting new ventures. Continue reading
I was very excited to get a waffle maker for Christmas – I’ve been after one for quite a while as part of my breakfast diversification programme. 😀 My waffle maker is this Cuisinart one that makes two square waffles at a time. I can’t give the lowdown on any other machines as mine was a … Continue reading
On the last day of the Christmas holidays we treated ourselves to one final meal out. We went to the Castle Inn off Twentywell Lane in Bradway for a gastro pub tea with the boys. The Castle is run by Jack Baker and Jack Windsor, both formerly of Smith & Baker on Eccy Road, who … Continue reading

We had a great evening at Las Iguanas in West One last week. It was my book club Christmas night out, so we started with a few cocktails to get us into the swing of things. They have quite a range, including some 2 for 1 deals. Uh-oh! Las Iguanas is a 50 strong chain … Continue reading
I’ve been meaning to try making my own blini for a while now, to make the most of buckwheat flour being gluten free. I already use it to make galettes (the French savoury pancakes) but I was really pleased when I came across this easy peasy recipe on the Doves Farm website. Blini are traditionally made … Continue reading
Boy no. 1 has been on his gluten free diet for a few months now and is adjusting well. I’ve had to rethink my after work/school weekday teas but there are plenty of things available to replace the old glutenny favourites almost like for like. It’s easy to get hold of gluten free gnocchi, pasta or fish fingers, … Continue reading
We’re planning our book club (aka ladies’ wine den) festive outing and as two of us are gluten free, the group is very aware of picking somewhere that works for everybody. As cocktails are a pre-requisite of any book club outing, a suggestion was made that we should go to Las Iguanas at West One. … Continue reading
