Why Inclusive Food?

November 7, 2018by Carly B Talbot Leave a comment

I’d like to introduce you to my hashtag on Instagram: #InclusiveFood. It’s a subject dear to my heart, because food is best shared with people you care about. Nothing brings […]

September 26, 2018by Carly B Talbot Leave a comment

I may be alone, but I’m actually rather enjoying the Great British Bake Off since it moved channels. Those commercial breaks offer the chance for a top up of tea, […]

Walnut-Crusted Baked Arancini with Sun-dried Tomato

September 18, 2018by Carly B Talbot Leave a comment

I’m sorry, I know I won’t win over any purists, but this lighter take on the indulgent fried and crumbed risotto-balls have made it onto the ‘regulars’ list at home, and […]

To Baby D, at One

August 28, 2018by Carly B Talbot Leave a comment

Oh Bug, I can’t believe you are one year old! All of the cliches are true: like ‘where did that year go?’ and ‘who is this little person where there […]

You were perhaps expecting the monster holiday blog post? I’m sure it may yet come (too many photos to edit and look through!), but for now a little recipe, which […]

Dare I feel slightly nostalgic about these scraggly-headed, pyjama-wearing lockdown family days already? Most weeks the juggle between work and family have felt so very stressful, but I also have mixed feelings about them returning to school and nursery. The house is going to feel very empty. 💛
(Post contains a #gifted item) The time of year where I become a bit obsessed with all things elderflower ✨ These are elderflower & lemon cupcakes, with elderflower Swiss meringue buttercream. I used the @deliciousalchemy sponge mix as my base, replacing the suggested liquid with elderflower cordial and lemon juice.
(Post contains a #gifted item) With some of my key usual baking ingredients *still* out of stock in the shops it’s been handy to have a few baking mixes in the cupboard - this fluffy #glutenfree bread mix that @deliciousalchemy sent me has been brilliant as it already contains yeast; and doesn’t need dairy or egg either so my whole family can eat the same loaf 💛 #deliciousalchemist
A rare one of the boy, who hates having his picture taken almost as much as he hates wearing his own hat. This one’s mine, which he happily stole before insisting on meandering in the baking sun to the castle to gaze at “the hweens house” through the fence 😓 #hatthief
(Post contains a gifted item) Back to the work/home school juggle this week for us after a surprisingly refreshing week off. Setting up for the day with some of our yummy homemade maple & pecan granola (using @deliciousalchemy #glutenfree oats). 🍁 I saved the recipe on my highlights - it’s based on the fail-safe mix and match ‘best ever granola’ recipe on Buzz Feed if this flavour isn’t your thing. Wishing you a good week ahead! X
Up early this morning for a family bike ride before the hoards descend on the Great Park. This one was taken in my favourite Valley Gardens when A was just a munchkin and still had baby curls 😢, it’s one of my favourite pictures of her! Looking forwards to going back soon 💛
Can’t resist a drip-shot! This is the lemon & berry loaf cake from the @mscupcakeuk recipe book, chiefly made to celebrate the fact that I managed to buy icing sugar for the first time in 8 weeks! Cake is back *on*... just as soon as we finish cleaning the kitchen 🍋
(#gifted #glutenfree oats from @deliciousalchemy) We made a big batch of granola - because I think that’s the new banana bread? Whatever it is it’s still evidence of how I retreat to warm, baked, cinnamoney comforts whenever things get a bit uncertain. 💛
