I had the rest of the tin of coconut milk mentioned in the earlier curry recipe, which should really have been finished before this stage. I was reading about the moral wrongs of throwing away food - not something I ever like to do anyway - and it spurred...

There are quite a few pumpkin suggestions in my column in the EDP2 tomorrow (Wednesday), but here's one I couldn't fit in and couldn't bear not to share! It is a slight variation on a Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall recipe from the River Cottage...

I found myself with the remains of a bunch of coriander which I had bought for another recipe, some pumpkin that needed using and some aubergines I had bought cheap that were going slimy. The end result was a remarkably tasty curry which we ate with rice,...

Just been on Radio Norfolk - my first time! I think it went ok, and didn't get too many calls from supermarket-defenders. I said that shopping without supermarkets is easier than you might think, and isn't necessarily more expensive - especially because...

They do all kinds of flavoured bread, including...

Just tried Booja-Booja's Hunky Punky chocolate ice-cream - or perhaps that should be "chocolate ice-cream". As I scoffed it I vaguely noticed that it said something about being cholesterol free but it was only after I finished that I realised it...

It's definitely Norwich's most gorgeous bar, and is worth a visit if only to check out the decor.
The food is quite good too, and has a lot to offer for fish-lovers in particular - sort of aptly given the name, which is a type of caviar.

The Battle of the Bangers in Norwich today was a great event - hundreds of people trying top-quality local sausages and voting for their favourite. Some found they had to try them more than once to really make an informed decision! My other half reckoned...

Cupcakes are very much the in thing right now, and a new Norfolk cupcake bakery has tapped into the trend.
I have just tried some Whoop cupcakes, made by a couple from Yaxham - very good they were too. They are beautiful things, which I suppose is the...
