A couple of weeks ago we were invited to Giggling Squid in Brighton for a sneak peek into their Christmas Menu ahead of their release date in early December.

Festive Food #2: Sweet Treats!
I am a self-confessed sugar addict. There is nothing I love more than a sweet treat, I would happy skip a meal in a restaurant and just head for the dessert. There no such thing as ‘too sweet’ and chocolate really is the way to my heart (take note Santa). So, today I wanted to

The Kenwood Electric Spiralizer – Spiralizing made simple
I’ve been a big fan of spiralized food for about a year now. Last year, in the midst of a summer health kick, we went out and bought a manual spiralizer and went through a phase of spiralizing pretty much every vegetable in the fridge. However, we soon found this set up was pretty time

Whats for dinner…? HelloFresh!
I’m the one in charge of our food shopping at home but I have to say my shopping list is quite dull. As I always order from the same supermarket online, so now just saved a ‘regulars’ list, so usually I end up ordering all the same stuff, with my narrow repertoire of homemade dinners just
