Not Pictured

February 2, 2016by Carly B Talbot Leave a comment

One of my aims with this blog was to document a little bit more about our real life this year, not so much the polished version. We all know the […]

Back to school on nutrition

January 26, 2016by Carly B Talbot Leave a comment

Considering how much I love my food (the creating, the cooking, the presenting and the eating!) it’s astonishing how firstly ignorant, and then befuddled I have been in the past […]

For my last birthday, my foodie brother bought me a subscription to The Spicery. Each month a package of spices and a recipe pops through our letterbox. The recipes are […]

The colours of January

January 18, 2016by Carly B Talbot Leave a comment

Without planning, it seems I go through phases of being drawn to different colour palettes. This January I’ve wanted clear, stark and grey landscapes (perhaps an antidote to the clutter […]

Skiing, Les Gets

January 11, 2016by Carly B Talbot 2 Comments

Starting the new year with a ski holiday is becoming a tradition – we love to take advantage of the off-season prices and quiet slopes; but it has the welcome […]

The Big Green Adventure continues. Going in hard this week - spring greens in colcannon-style mash with casserole went down a treat! Now planning some sprout top pakora/fritter type things (a great idea from @bekitakespictures). Wish us luck!
Woo! Sticky red children and pink-stained everything season is here! #bloodorange #eattheseasons #makelightseasons
I feel like my feed hasn’t had enough cake lately, which means I definitely haven’t eaten enough! These were some basic vanilla cupcakes to a vegan recipe given a bit of an ‘Elsa’ touch (if you know, you know) for the school fair. They sold out before anything else! I found GF sprinkles from @bakingtimeclub - they are surprisingly hard to find. #myworkhereisdone #inclusivefood
Weeknight red potato roasties - cube (don’t peel), pat dry, toss in olive oil with thyme or rosemary and sea salt. 45 minutes at 200c, with a jiggle half way through ✅
One poorly girl upset to miss her teddy bear’s picnic at school yesterday set one up herself in the living room whilst I was on conference calls 🐻 💔 I’d already made her some chewy dark chocolate & teff flour cookies to take, which apparently are medicinal in large doses because she’s loads better this morning. (Cookies a riff on the giant chocolate cookie recipe in the @mscupcakeuk book, pecans would have been a nice addition but school has a nut-free policy).
This was a good starting point for the children’s Big Green Adventure - not least because it was so simple to make and undeniably green. It’s @jamieoliver ‘elegant winter pasta’ recipe with a few adaptations - namely using a whole grain gluten free pasta and a little squish of lemon juice to cut through the sauce which is creamy from the olive oil. Eaten by all, even begrudgingly by him who said ‘urgh the house smells of cabbage’ 🙄 (it blinking well didn’t) #thisiswhatihavetodealwith that’s for suggestions yesterday - I see lots more greens in our future! 💚 #simpleseasonal
Talk to me about how you get kids (or grown adult males) to eat the dark leafy greens of winter? I used to be really good at offering lots of variety, but lately I’ve fallen in to an orange food and hidden veg trap. Advice on de-bobbling much-loved new jumpers also welcome. #thefruitsofwinter
Crusty gluten free and egg free (!) sourdough: one for the notebook... at the back I scribble and sketch ideas and make notes on ingredients and adaptations of others peoples recipes. The things I end up making time and time again get an entry at the front with a picture - so handy to have them all in one place!
