Pumpkin starts invading and taking over my kitchen towards the end of the year when it’s fresh off the fields. My girlfriend and I absolutely love it, although we always argue about who makes the better soup. She likes to add a little bit of apple and some tomato puree, feel free to try it, … Continue reading
So I haven’t posted anything from my drawing in a while. This is a gorilla face I did last winter. The finished thing was a full gorilla head. I used different thicknesses of felt tip/ fine liner pen in a mixture of black and grey shades. Continue reading
If you’ve eaten soup at my place you’re 90% certain to have had broccoli soup. It is one of my absolute favourites because it is super easy and extremely easy to make. Good tasting broccoli is available most of the year so it is a really good go to. Ingredients: Broccoli (/ optionally add chopped potato to … Continue reading
Following on from Monday’s post, today I will be looking at the side I would field for a 24 and younger British team from the Premiership. I have to say that I would find it very difficult to field this side because it is completely off balance, focussing almost completely on the attack. However, when looking … Continue reading

For a long time I wondered what Burrata was. I’ll admit that I thought it was just a big mozzarella before I tried it. But it is so much more than that. It is a little tougher on the outside than mozzarella and on the inside it is so much creamier. I first discovered that in … Continue reading
For those who have already looked at my blog know that sport-wise my main focus is on American Football. A big reason for this might be because I have started to find it a bit boring and frustrating. I will go into more detail in a different post. One element I do love, and I … Continue reading
So roasting vegetables has always been fun, especially when wanting to create a mediterranean flavour. Great for summer. But when I try to picture this dish in a setting where I have had it, or something similar, it is not in one of the Med countries I’ve visited. Instead there is a beautiful little Cafe … Continue reading
