Have you got a formal event coming up where you want to look your best and have decided that heels are the way to go? While this may not seem like a big deal, for those who aren’t used to walking in heels the idea of wearing them for hours at a time and managing to walk normally and gracefully can seem impossible. Rather than settle for flats that just won’t compliment your outfit in the same way, why not…
When you think of Christmas you probably think of turkey, ham or even beef but do you think of lamb? Although I am vegan my husband is a meat eater and lamb is one of his favourites. There are lots of traditional lamb recipes out there which involve mint and rosemary but have you considered something a bit different? On my recent trip to Morocco, I experienced lots of new flavours and cooking techniques which I think would be perfect…
For as long as I can remember my family have been enjoying holidays in the Norfolk Broads, a network of mostly navigable rivers and lakes formed by the flooding of peat workings. We had a small break (of nearly 10 years!) but this year we packed our bags and set off to our favourite accommodation, a holiday cottage at Martham Boats, for a week of ultimate peace and serenity on the Broads. There are lots of fun things to entertain the…
There is nothing better than going on holiday with your family. You get to spend quality time with them that you wouldn’t usually have on a day to day basis at home. Furthermore, you also get to create special memories for your children that they will be able to look back on for a lifetime. There are tons of great holidays you can choose from, such as a family skiing holiday or an African safari trip. Nevertheless, going on holiday…
It’s the Thanksgiving season folks! And needless to say, the pressure is building up! There’s the ultimate need of preparing a lip-smacking and sumptuous Thanksgiving meal for friends and family. And you are at a loss because as we know, every person cooking during the holiday times are at a time constraint. But, your prayers have been answered. As this Thanksgiving, you can use a multi-tasking chef knife that can be used for different purposes such as for dicing, mincing,…
Are you making any New Years Resolutions? I tend to make very similar ones every year but this year I am throwing in a couple of new ones for good measure! Donate to the local Food Bank Traditionally the time around Christmas has always been a time for giving to those less fortunate. For 2019 I have decided that I am going to try and support our local food bank, Swanley and District, with regular donations. I plan to add…
I was lucky in that I managed to get to the age of 29 with a full set of Grandparents. My paternal Grandmother sadly passed away in January 2016 and then only 18 months later I had lost my paternal and maternal Grandfathers. When my paternal Grandfather started to show signs that he really wasn’t capable of living on his own, with the family’s advice, he decided to sell his house which was about half an hour away from us…
As if planning a holiday isn’t stressful enough, the dark cloud of Brexit and what the end result of the UK leaving the EU may bring is adding to our concerns. Loveholidays, the fastest growing online travel agency in the UK, has conducted a survey of 2,000 people in the UK to gauge their view on holidays abroad next year. The appeal of all-inclusive holidays is even more popular in the face of Brexit particularly to millennials who are twice…
Since I decided to work on losing weight I haven’t allowed myself many sweet treats, however, when I was with my sister on a recent trip to Spitalfields Market in East London I decided to give myself a break when I came across Crosstown Doughnuts and discovered their vegan range! Crosstown launched their speciality handmade sourdough doughnuts from a market stall on Leather Lane in 2014 and have come on leaps and bounds. Their delicious doughnuts are made from the best…
