Lots of freshly baked sweet treats on offer but, seeing...
Parmesan, tomato puree, garlic, balsamic vinegar: all kitchen staples that we use, almost unthinkingly, every day when cooking.
They are also four of the ingredients in Laura Santtini‘s intriguing Taste #5 Umami Paste. Named after the delicious savoury taste common to these foods, along with the others that Santtini includes – anchovies, black olives and porcini...

It’s January. Time for just a little indulgence.
Yes, I know that we’re all supposed to be on a hair-shirt-fun-free-detox-diet but on a dark, dreary school/work morning it’s no harm at all to have a little something that will lift the spirits.

It wasn’t an easy project. There were early mornings making – and eating – the sweet, spicy dough, afternoons with the oven on full blast to bake the pieces and several tantrums (mine) closely averted with dollops of royal icing. But we got there in the end, Little Missy and I.

Lyric fm: The art and the business of bees
We eat a lot of honey at the cottage. The Husband is a particular fan of it on toast for breakfast and Little Missy always loves to get her fingers sticky with a corner of what he’s eating.
We know better than most where that honey comes from. On a good, warm day we’re normally lucky enough to...

Make Bake Love by Lilly Higgins
For me, it’s all about the tart. The Raspberry Macaroon Tart to be precise. When I interviewed Lilly Higgins for a package about underground dining in Ireland for Lyric fm I visited her cosy house near Cobh. Lilly’s first move, as we walked into her kitchen, was to offer me tea. One glance at the...
