And Hello, from The U.A.E
Almost eight months in the works and it’s happened. We’ve moved, lock, stock and barrel. We left Doha, Qatar with 207 cardboard boxes stuffed into a 40 foot container. After a two week pause in Scotland, we flew back to the

Kids & Cutlets
Young kids have absolutely no filter, they are born food critics. If it sucks, they will let you know in no uncertain terms. It’s even more potent in non-verbal format – the nose wrinkling, the suspicious sniffing, flared nostrils, the

Strawberry & Rhubarb Jam
My first summer in Aberdeen was much like a first love. I experienced what a strawberry really, really tasted like, simply couldn’t get enough and wanted it with me all the time. Three punnets were on the go at a shot,

Mango & Passionfruit Sorbet
Every April and May, I repeatedly face defeat. There are only so many Alphonso mangoes I can eat in a day without breaking into spots or worse. I don’t buy these in wimpy wee bags either, I carry home a
