I love salads and one accompanies most dinners that I prepare.  I love to enjoy my salad after the main course as I find it to be a lovely finish to the meal.  My everyday dressing is simple and fast but I have to admit that making other variations are pretty simple too and they [...]

For me the ideal evening allows for plenty of time to plan and prepare a delicious dinner.  In reality though I find myself not always having as much time as I'd like.  But just because I might be in a rush it is no reason to compromise on the quality of the meal.  I have [...]

Little can go wrong when there's chocolate involved.  This is probably the same thought process my boyfriend employed when he bought me Brownie Points by Lisa Slater – a cookbook containing over 100 brownie recipes.  (Either that or he just wanted me to start baking him brownies.)
