About & Contact
Cooking, for me, is a form of escapism and self-expression and I have come to love it over recent years; to be honest I’m pretty much obsessed by all things foodie and regularly have my head stuck in some kind of cookery book or reading an interesting food related article on-line! I strive to become a better cook so that I can make my friends and family happy by giving them lots of lovely treats to eat! I also try to do as much healthy cooking as possible and experiment by making low-fat tasty food that isn’t at all boring and is full of flavour!
I am a massive fan of all things LOCAL – I try to use local produce where possible and support local businesses and producers. We are spoilt for choice, not only in Northamptonshire but in the UK in general, for fantastic, fresh, local produce and artisan producers and suppliers. I think we need to spend more time celebrating the foodie wealth that the United Kingdom has to offer.
In this blog I will share some of my recipes, or new recipes that I have tried as well as reviewing good places to eat and drink in Northamptonshire (where I live) and further afield.
I hope you enjoy my blog; thank you for stopping by and please feel free to comment and share!

Thank you so much for following along with my blog!! Your blog has my interest, as I am a 20 year who knows very little about baking and cooking.

Hi Sarah,
Thanks so much for commenting on my blog and for sending me the Liebster Award. I am rather bogged down with work this week but I will try to pass it on. I really appreciate you thinking of us! I still think of you when I see Tom’s first proper teddy bear in his bedroom and remember you coming to see us when he was seven weeks old and had just learnt to smile. I am so sorry to hear about your arthritis and really hope that blogging helps you turn your frustrations into something positive. Work takes over a bit these days and you’ve reminded me why I started doing it in the first place. Your blog is definitely making me hungry!
Lots of love from sunny Manchester,
Emily xx

Thank you for the Dead Dog recipe – just as good as I remember it, though it does take me straight back to staring out of the minibus window on the way back from yet another hockey match 🙂
Sarah @ Memoirs of an Amateur Cook
You are more than welcome Jocelyn! It brings back fond memories for me too….you still can’t beat it after all these years!
