Ha! Sorry about my very odd expression in this photograph - it was the best screen-grab from the video that I could find! I'm writing this very late on Saturday night in lieu of the usual Sunday Tittle Tattle - I'm going to publish that post later on today when I've...
In my defence, it's actually quite hard to make pictures of food look good. I now understand why there are such things as food stylists - people who spray the cooked chicken with car paint and disgusting oil concoctions to make it look delicious. I worked with a...
Hooray! Another cooking video! This time I'm looking at a really quick and easy takeaway (takeout) alternative - the healthy curry. I am OBSESSED with homemade curries - I have every spice in the book and I probably make a curry at least once or twice a week. I'm not...
I went for a proper, full-on massage with Jarod Chapman last week. By full-on, I'm not referring to "extras" (you dirty lot!) but to the level of intensity and expertise - muscle-wise, there was no stone left unturned. (Oh GROW UP would you! Stop sniggering at the...
It was about time that this happened: my first cookery video. I love cooking and so it was a natural progression. Beauty addicts do not fear: the cookery is an addition to the beauty vids and not a substitution. Lipsticks will be back on a screen near you very soon!...
A few weeks ago I went on the most amazing trip with Joico Haircare to the Raymond Blanc Cookery School. It's at Le Manoir in Oxfordshire, Raymond Blanc's incredibly luxurious (and expensive!) hotel and restaurant. Oh, how I wish that I'd written this when it was all...
I have finally taken the plunge and bought a bread maker. Or bread machine, people seem to call them both things - I prefer 'maker' because it sounds more friendly. And there he is, my friendly little bread maker, sat on the kitchen worktop next to the kettle. You...
I expect by the time you're reading this all chocolate will have been devoured - I haven't yet started on my own egg, which is a smallish Cadbury's Creme number. Once I get started, I find it best to eat the whole lot in one go - egg and 'bonus' confectionary. If you...
Just before Christmas I was doing a lot of reading about oils. Not facial or body oils, this time, but cooking oils. I have always used Olive Oil for absolutely all of my cooking needs, thinking that it was by far the healthiest and most convenient choice, but over...
I had no idea that Holland & Barrett had a reward scheme! You can collect points on every purchase and then they'll email you money-off vouchers every three months. It's called "Rewards for Life" and you can sign up to it by clicking...
My current food obsession: Tracklements Fig Relish. It is amazing. I eat lots of goat cheese and this is the perfect pairing. It's sweet and sour at the same time and the texture is just gorgeous - really 'seedy' (?!) and sticky. One of my most frequent quick lunches...
I have an unexpected lingerie casting today; I thought I'd share with you my quick preparation routine for getting my bod looking sleek 'n shiny in a hurry! just waiting for the postman to knock... 1) Dinner the night before: easy on the wheat. I made a gorgeous...
