About Us

We're foodies. Not sure how long that word will be popular, but for the time being it will do.... We want ordinary people like us to have a relaxed resource to visit to be inspired to cook, bake and make stuff. Nothing fancy, (unless you want it to be), just functional and enjoyable. This is a resource for all - no pretentions, just a nice place to share stuff. We hope you enjoy......

A Trifle at a Trifling price.....


Okay. So we wanted to start with something that would appeal. Striking? Homely? On a budget? EASY!!!!!! Trifle fits the bill in so many ways. you can make a huge one for everyone to dig in, or individual ones - you can use your ordinary glasses, wine glasses - hell, throw convention out of the window and use a cup and saucer - it's your trifle.....

This is one version above in pretty Cath Kidston glasses (about £3 each....)

It's as cheap as chips. Here goes:

For each one:

2 tinned peach halves
4 boudoir biscuits or random slice of leftover sponge
approx 6 tablespoons of juice/syrup out of can
a splash of amaretto liquer or similar. Or leave out.
2 good heaped tablespoons of whipped cream
1 chubby fistful of toasted almonds, or sprinkles of your choice.

Method:

Mix the juice with the liquer. Break up the sponge and soak in the liquer. Tear up one peach half and put in bottom of serving dish/glass/random vessel. Add half of the soaked sponge. Add 1 heaped spoon cream. Repeat. Add toasted almonds/sprinkles of your choice.

It's really that easy and and cheap. And really rather tasty.
