I went to bed on Friday dreaming of a breakfast of eggs poached in tomatoes and dripping with yoghurt and readers, that is what I got. Wandering downstairs I found my flatmate frying off onions and p...
As someone who used to pretend to wheeze like an asthma during PE and often used the ‘my mum wont let me wear tampons’ (as if, lol) excuse for swimming lessons, I never really thought I&#...
Apart from ridiculous April it’s been quite a dry winter, I haven’t really stopped cycling except for when it snowed for about a week. I suddenly had a realisation of ‘omfg I’...

When I get a bit stressed out I start to make big batches of food to freeze. Cooking itself really relaxes me, all that chopping is pretty meditative and I love messing about in the spice cupboard. I...
