The Pancake Day Plan B
As this is a vegetarian food blog, I feel obliged to pass comment on the recent discussions regarding the weekly removal of meat from the union canteen (see last week’s Leeds Student). From a herbivore’s perspective, the primary reaction is to rejoice at the idea of everybody coming together for a meat free utopia, at [...]

An apple?! But that’s got carbs in it.’ Well maybe I like carbs. Shoot me.
Dieting: most of us probably kicked off the New Year with good intentions to eat more green things and occasionally break a sweat. We’re now in mid-February so the diet has either worked (you’re considerably smaller but shit company) or it hasn’t (you remain positively chubs but can still crack a smile). I’ve been thinking [...]

Calm your tits, it’s only Valentine’s day
Despite having been single since time immemorial, I still frickin’ love this lame excuse of a celebration, namely because like a twelve-year-old girl, my favourite colours are red and pink and for at least 3 weeks, everything is one of these colours and heart-shaped. Score! My most memorable V-day was a few years back, although [...]

Getting Baked
Sometimes we all just get the munchies, whether from a hard day studying or something quite the opposite. It was just spontaneous hunger that influenced my girlfriend and I to phone up the newly founded company ‘Get Baked’. I’m not sure why I felt obliged to order a plaque-inducing amount of sugar coated treats, but [...]

Merkato: a taste of Ethiopia
At the end of an eerie corridor out the back of Morrisons, if you look hard enough you’ll find a teeny ramshackle Ethiopian restaurant, Merkato (this place SCREAMS ‘gap yah’). It is a sort of flimsy wooden box within the indoor Merrion Market, which is a near-derelict building on the brink of being pulled down. [...]

Calorific Caribbean Macaroni Cheese Pie
Last week I jetted off to roasty toasty Barbados with my lovely mum after the trauma of four essays and an exam (I didn’t sign up for this, I was under the illusion that uni was all strawpeedos and casual sex – dang!). In the run-up to my holz I firmly adhered to a mantra [...]

My Best Christmas Present of 2011
I have always held a particular love for fun-mums, and by all accounts television globetrotting, house-hunting, basket-weaving m*e*g*a*s*t*a*r Kirstie Allsop, Queen of More4, gaffs and gloss – ladies across the nation REJOICE because Kirstie is the funnest mum in town and I am the lucky owner of her new book, courtesy of my Mum and [...]

Beyonce Cake
First blog of the year: I’d considered ‘healthy, hearty stews to beat the January blues’ but having endured ten long days of sobriety and celery myself, I figured it would make both for dull reading and eating if I wrote about something with no fat or fun in it. So instead this post is lardy-liscious [...]
