New Year, New Me?
January 11, 2017
*Probably not, Lucy… don’t get your hopes up. Every year social media, as well as real life, becomes inundated with people claiming that January marks the beginning of something new. Apparently at no other time of the year are people incapable of change because the universe forbids such an action happening. Karen, what do …

January 2, 2017
Since being at uni, I can imagine that for the majority of us, myself included, found it quite a shock at first, when we realised just how independent we needed to be. For me, cooking and just food in general was one of the most difficult ‘independent things’ I had to do. it seems simple; …

December 12, 2016
I’m quite an early riser, but every now and then I just love hitting the snooze button on my phone.

April 22, 2016
With my last Easter holiday break having come and gone, I thought it was wise that I took a break from revision to travel to a new country. I headed to the sunny side of the Alps a.k.a Slovenia.

In Search of the Perfect Chai Latte in Nottingham
March 28, 2016
My friends and blog readers know there is nothing more I love than a good cup of coffee.

So in my final year I set myself the challenge of taking a picture everyday to remind me of my last year in Nottingham. However quickly this just turned into a very large album containing pictures of food. It made me realize that over the years at Nottingham I have suddenly learnt how to cook, …

February 8, 2016
When living with over-30s, dinner parties are often a melodramatic affair involving stuffing all mess out of sight, pretending to be an accomplished chef and acting generally grown-up and suave.
