How to make Bacon Jam

You do know that bacon jam recipe if you have been around here for a while. Many people are familiar with it now, but I was the first in the UK to share a recipe for it before there was ever any on the shelves. But it did not start with me, it started in the US. The excitement about it in the US had not escaped my attention. I was intrigued. At the time I had some money stuck in my PayPal account that I could not transfer out (this is very much back in the day, when things were not as straightforward as now). So, I ordered bacon jam from California with it because why not? It arrived in the po ..read more

Fourteen years ago I quietly changed my life with one small step. Of course, I had no idea I was. There were no big plans. Just a deep desire to write and express myself about all things food and travel which had been festering for years and had to be exorcised from my heart and head to the stove and the page. Perched at my desk in the dark hallway of my Kilburn flat I first said hello from this fresh new website, and announced my intentions. Here I am today, 14 years later after sharing hundreds of recipes, travel stories and two books later. I still feel like I am only getting started becaus ..read more

Dream Now, Travel Later: Plotting a Return to Nova Scotia
Eat Like a Girl

This article is published in partnership with Tourism Nova Scotia, who sponsored this post. Tourism Nova Scotia are inviting us to dream now and travel later. In 19 years in London, nearly 20, this will be the first year that I won’t have once left its boundaries. I have barely left my neighbourhood. Instead, my life was distilled to essentials and became very simple. That is a luxury I know. My work was affected but I didn’t lose my job. I don’t have kids to homeschool. I accept the changes, I understand the need to be still for a while and I am embracing it, as much as I can. Short days and ..read more

Food and cooking has been the centre of my existence for years now, and not always in a good way, if I am honest. But it is now fiercely centre stage in an excellent way, providing colour and interest in a time that is lacking in stimulation. Are you feeling like you are going stir crazy? I am. I feel like I have been walking the same circles for months now, because I have. And, I am sure you have too. When I started blogging I was working in a demanding job that didn’t allow much travel, financially as I was still paying student debt, but also in terms of time. I find myself back in a similar ..read more
