Mushroom, Herb and Parsnip Pie Recipe
| April 1, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Autumn, Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Seasonal Cooking, Winter |
There is a new favourite recipe in town, and I cannot get over how good it is. Additionally, it’s a vegetarian recipe, and for a meatless recipe to hit the spot so completely is pretty unusual in our house. This is one of the babymoon, cook-ahead and freeze recipes we did, but obviously you don’t…
English Cottage Pie With Cheese And Leek Topping Recipe
| March 18, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Motherhood, Seasonal Cooking, Winter |
We have been getting so many leeks in our winter vegetable boxes that I’m starting to feel a little ‘leek-ed’ out, if I’m honest! I thought I’d try something different from the usual, and this recipe turned out to be an amazing winner! You’ll find the original recipe here, but here’s how we made and…

It’s Mother’s Day in the UK soon, and there’s little nicer than waking up to breakfast in bed. So, my advice, Mamas, is tell dads or older children to glance over here for some healthy, simple, child-friendly recipes brought to you by the HGCA.

Foraging For Food: Crystalized Lavender
| May 29, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Foraging for Food, Kids in the Kitchen, Spring, Summer |
We moved into a new house this week, and when I say it’s been mayhem and madness, I’m not joking. I’ve spent five days unpacking boxes, and it feels like I’ve barely made a dent. I’m sure it’ll all come together in one smooth motion but till then, I’ve had little to no time for…
Foraging For Food – Ramson (Wild Garlic) Scones
| May 22, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Favourite Recipes I Have To Share, Food, Foraging for Food, Seasonal Cooking, Spring |
While savoury scones aren’t very common in England, they are among my favourite ‘snacks’. These are actually meant to be popped in the oven with a medley of chopped vegetables, but are equally good on their own, with a little butter.
Foraging for Food – Yarrow Omelettes And Tea

Yarrow, or what the Ancients called Achillea after Achilles, the legendary warrior. In battle, Yarrow was used to speed up the blood clotting and to stop haemorrhaging. Crushed, the leaves can be put directly onto cuts, and used for nose bleeds and earache, and even chewed for toothache.
Foraging For Food – Nettle Soup

Nettles are a painful annoyance when you’re out and about in fields and forests, and make picking other plants quite tough, but did you know that in and of themselves, they are something of a super-food? Nettles can be used to increase breast milk supply, eliminate dandruff, and is believed to have anti-anaemic, anti-diabetic, haemostatic…
Foraging For Food – Ramson (Wild Garlic) Omelettes

I’m still on the Ramsons this week – there are just so many of them, and so much you can do with them, it seems silly to keep them to one week.  Check last week’s post to find out more about where you can find Ramsons and poisonous lookalikes (which don’t smell like garlic at…
