Hooray and well done to all at Wahaca...we won the SRA's most sustainable restaurant group of the year award - totally thrilled!! Have a read of this article from The Independent...



Tatty trying her first food
(December 20th, 2011)

I thought a video of Tatty trying her first solid food would be a worthy blog post, so here she is!



Chicken liver and spiced winter vegetable pilau
(December 13th, 2011)

It is impressive watching how much food can disappear in a short space of time when the house is full.  People eat more on holiday than at any other time; there is plenty of time to linger over lunch and dinner and time to kill between meals, when it is all too easy to wander into the kitchen and find something to nibble.



The Best Mince Pies - from my Yahoo! blog
(December 7th, 2011)

These mince pies with their boozy mascarpone filling and their caramelised, crunchy almond topping are seriously good.



Yahoo! Shortbread Surprise
(November 30th, 2011)

Even at my grand old age, I still feel squirms of excitement when Christmas is approaching. I love planning the delicious things we are going to eat and who we are going to see; thinking about all the time we can spend hanging out, playing games, watching movies and going on long walks. Part of the thrill is decorating the house so that it starts to feel Christmassy. Spraying the tree with white paint is always our first step, at least guaranteeing us snow of some kind. Who gets to decide the colour scheme of the tree is a fiercely fought battle every year, since everyone has their different styles. My mother always opts for one colour throughout; my brother might go for as many colours as possible; my sister a scheme of pink and gold or red and green and my nephew just likes to be in the hot seat of the action.



Yahoo! Celebration Chile con Carne
(November 22nd, 2011)

The joy of this recipe is that it is actually much closer to what the Mexicans eat, rather than a TexMex version. The sweetness of the fruit counter balances the fiery smokiness of the chillies and gives you a completely rounded, mouth-watering flavour. It is hard to express how popular you will be if you whip this out for Boxing Day.



My Yahoo! blog in the run up to Christmas
(November 15th, 2011)

I am writing seven blogs with recipes for Yahoo! in association with Sainburys to help get your tastebuds tingling and keep stress levels at bay so you can have a happy and enjoyable run up to Christmas.
