Russell Hobbs Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer! I saw the Russell Hobbs Satisfry Dual Basket Air Fryer when I attended the Christmas in July press show and was bowled over by the amazing cookery the chefs were creating using just this very economical on energy little gadget. A full Christmas dinner was presented to me having been cooked in the machine which has dual baskets that can be switched up to create one large on and I thought then, […]
Foodies Festival 2023! Earlham Park – Norwich! It’s been a decade since I worked with The Foodies Festival for the first time, back in 2013 I was invited to come as their guest and sample the delights they had on offer in Battersea Park and I have, since then, worked with them many times. However, this year is the first year I’ve collaborated with them in my home city of Norwich and this weekend coming is the weekend that is […]
Suffolk Yurt Holidays Again! After the most glorious weekend at the Suffolk Yurt Holidays site last year, we booked again right away to return. I couldn’t get my birthday weekend for 2023 but as luck would have it my Mother In Law’s 70th fell on a weekend when they did have full site availability so we snapped that up and booked in advance for 2024 as well! And we’ve just got back from that second stay to celebrate my Mother […]
Have You Tried tastecard? When it comes to having the tastecard app on your phone it couldn’t be easier, or make it less expensive, to enjoy those meals out! Dining in restaurants can be a pocket basher but the experience is so enjoyable it would be a shame to make it a rare treat and with tastecard you don’t have to! All your favourites are part of the scheme meaning a meal out with your friends, family and the kids […]
Kelly Loves – Sushi! I made sushi once before but it was so long ago I seem to have misplaced my bamboo mat and any time I’ve thought about trying to recreate it, it’s seemed like a massive hassle and I haven’t bothered. Shame though as when my Mum and I dabbled into sushi making before we loved it. It wasn’t too hard (admittedly it didn’t look like pro sushi but was good enough) and very tasty while being incredibly […]
Jazz Night At The Chelsea Harbour Hotel! It’s not terribly often Jonny and I would get to enjoy an evening out in London just us, but somehow we are bookending this Easter holiday doing just that! For our first foray of the break to our capital City we hopped on the London Evening Out with Greater Anglia. This ticket costs £25 and affords travellers a return trip departing after 2pm, able to return on any train that evening or until […]
Chopstix Review! My family and I were invited to dine at Chopstix Noodle Bar this week where we plumped for a brand new restaurant in Norwich City Centee. Now, though the restaurant we chose is newly opened, that’s not what we were there in celebration of, infact we were there to celebrate one of their most popular dishes, the Massaman Curry which they’ve been serving for 20 years alongside other firm faves like the Caramel Drizzle Chicken (my kiddos top […]
Asda Extend Kids Eat For A Quid Until The End Of 2023 – And Make The Deal Even Better! It’s not often you unearth a truly no catches, great deal and even less so coming from big organisations; there’s usually SOMETHING in it for them somewhere along the line, right?! However, for a good while now and in direct response to the cost of living crisis (thanks to government who believe in nepotism, keeping the rich, rich, poor, poor and […]
Bloody Mary Lobster Cocktail Recipe! This is the quickest, easiest recipe yet offers a little wow factor in that it’s lobster! Saying that, it is not an expensive dish by any stretch and only requires frozen lobster which you can generally pick up for around £7. Mine was from Aldi from their Christmas range and first intended for a seafood platter which never came to fruition so here we are at Valentine’s week making it into a boozy, unctuous lobster […]
Dining Out At Gaucho! As a post matinee supper for my friend and I this weekend I used the OpenTable app to find a restaurant in Soho – my eye was immediately drawn, like a magpie, when one of the many suggestions (which come with ratings for how expensive, clear times available, the type of food, hints for their best reasons to visit and a wealth of reviews) to Gaucho Piccadilly. Just off London’s bustling Regent’s Street, yet tucked away […]
