Hotel Chocolat – Review and Giveaway

I don’t think it will come as any surprise to you when I say that I love chocolate! I am, as you will probably also guess, no stranger to the wonders of Hotel Chocolat and before the children came along and started sucking money left, right and centre, I belonged to their monthly chocolate club....
The Ultimate Book of Baby Knits - Debbie Bliss

The Ultimate Book of Baby Knits – Debbie Bliss

Last year I was lucky enough to review The Knitter’s Year by Debbie Bliss and I loved it. The book still sits by my bed and every so often I flick through the gorgeous pictures – I’ve even just cast on the peg bag ready to grace my washing line in summer. So there was...

Little Dish Beef & Spinach Cannelloni

A while back I reviewed the Little Dish Cookbook, which we really liked and have tried several recipes since we were sent it. So knowing how much we liked it, Little Dish offered to send the girls some of their new Beef & Spinach Cannelloni meals to try out. I like Little Dish as they...

Mincemeat

I love mincemeat and anything you can make with it, and because of this I was very pleased when Sainsbury’s asked if I would like to try some of their Taste the Difference Mincemeat. If I have time, I usually like to make my own because I can add what I like and leave out anything...

Bake-a-boo

  There’s nothing I love better on a cold evening than snuggling down with a cookery book, flicking through and planning what I’m going to cook and bake. This time of year is the best because Christmas provides the perfect opportunity to bake and try out some new recipes. So I was delighted to be...

HEXBUGs

I have to admit that when we were asked if we’d like to test out and review some HEXBUG Nanos I wasn’t really sure if the girls would be interested. But I showed Grace a video about them and she insisted she did want to try them out. It turns out it was a very...

Home Bake

I love cookery books, especially anything to do with baking and cake decorating, so much so that I had to have two extra shelves put up in the kitchen to house them all! So I was very excited when I asked if I’d like to review a copy of Home Bake by Eric Lanlard. I’m...

My Friendly Lunchbox

As it is half term this week, I have got some time off from making lunch boxes, but last week Grace tested out some goodies from My Friendly Lunchbox. She takes a lunch box most days and I am fed up keep throwing away sandwich bags and various other wrappings, which are a waste of...

Witch Craft

I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your attention that there is nothing I like better than a good bit of crafting and cooking, and what better time for crafty activities than Halloween?! So I was really excited to receive a review copy of this book – Witch Craft, compiled by Margaret McGuire and Alicia Kachmar. It...
Little Dish Cookbook

Little Dish Cookbook

I adore cookbooks and have quite a few on my shelves (which were specially built to accommodate all my books!) So I was very excited when Little Dish asked if I’d like to review their Little Dish Favourites Cookbook and fresh fruit and vegetable pouches. Little Dish make all their products from 100% natural ingredients...
