Craft: Tea Cup Candles

Okay, so it's Valentine's Day, and most people are probably out spending time with the ones they love, whether that's your partner, your family, your friends or your pets. Once you get back, though, here's an awesome craft for you to try. Not only is an easy way to spice up your home decor, but they make amazing gifts too - and if you try it in time, you can even give them...

Recipe: Valentine's Day Chocolate Lava Cake

Chocolate Lava Cake is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day. It's light, delicious and chocolatey, and simple enough to make even if you've been kept up all night by the sound of cards flooding through the letterbox (like me, of course.) Ingredients: 2 sticks of unsalted butter 9 ounces bittersweet chocolate. Chop it up finely 3/4 teaspoon Cognac 3/4 teaspoon...

Lunch Time Recipe: Tagliatelle

For this recipe you'll need: 2 cans of diced tomatoes, drained 1 jar of tomato and garlic caviar (See note under ingredients) 10 cherry tomatoes, cut in half Fresh...

Inspirations!

It's been minus three today, and with the snow, frost and wind, it would have been a lovely day to have a fire! Instead, I've been finding inspiration, and buying supplies for my next projects. It's strange the things that inspire you. Especially when it's so gloomy outside! I love lights. The city lights, fairy lights, candles...today has been pretty dark all day,...

Dreamy Red Velvet Cupcakes!

I don't know about you, but I am a big lover of baking - and cupcakes! One of my absolute favourites has to be red velvet. I love the deep colour, and the flavour is just unbeatable...and the satisfaction of serving a slice of red cake to an unsuspecting guest is quite amusing, too. Here's my favourite red velvet cupcake recipe. Which flavour do you love? Ingredients 60g...
