As you may well know by now, we like to spice up our dishes a bit! This is our flavoursome twist on the humble beefburger. Served with home made salsa and coleslaw on a lovely bagel this is definitely a winner when we have barbeques. Ingredients: 400g minced beef Birds eye chillies (to taste […]
It is the half term holidays which means that my daughter wants to bake! This is her latest offering, containing her favourite things – chocolate, cake, marshmallows and nuts. I think it was torture for her to wait until they were cooked! In this recipe we have used unrefined, golden icing sugar – it has […]
