I recently discovered Mozzarella sticks (yes, I know, I’ve been missing out) and when I had some leftover mozzarella from my Mediterranenan Chicken, and I was about to eat gnocchi with pesto sauce (store bought, I’m not at THAT stage yet- lol) I decided to try them out myself! I found a couple of recipes … Continue reading

Mediterranean Chicken With Rice/ Leftover stir fry
I cut out this recipe from a magazine a while back, and when I discovered 3 chicken breast fillets in my freezer, I thought ‘Why the Hell not?’ and decided to make it last night. The recipe called for red and yellow peppers, spinach and basil, but my fridge and my wallet weren’t being cooperative. … Continue reading
Ferrero Rocher FroYo
After making plain FroYo the other day, I decided to step it up a bit. I personally LOVE Ferrero Rocher, and it’s great as an ice cream or a milkshake. I thought I’d try it as a Froyo and here’s how that went. Please follow the instructions from the last article which tell you how … Continue reading
Freeze! Making my own frozen yoghurt :D
For my recent 24th birthday, my ever-awesome-Mama got me an ice cream maker. Ever since I’d tried SNOG, it was my dream to be able to have it whenever I wanted, and without having to dish out £10 for travel and the food. Anyway, machine is here and today was the day to try it … Continue reading
Toy Story 3: The Climax Of A Generation
I wrote this review for the Kingston Students’ Union Magazine Fresh the year the movie came out… And it’s still accurate today. The text has been rewritten a bit. “This summer saw two great animation series come to an end: Shrek 4 and Toy Story 3. I haven’t been able to see Shrek 4 yet, … Continue reading
Gangster Squad
To celebrate my 24th, I decided to relish in some Ryan Gosling ogling. The latest release including him in its cast is Gangster Squad. Unfortunately for me, he doesn’t take his shirt of. Fortunately for me, that’s not the point of the plot. The story revolves around the aptly named ‘Gangster Squad’, a group of … Continue reading
The Impossible
Just like the terrorist attack of 9/11, many of us still remember where we were when we heard about the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami that destroyed countless lives. The Impossible is the latest movie by Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona, based entirely on the true story of a Spanish family, the Belóns. Naomi Watts and … Continue reading
Ali McNamara… Actually
If you happen to be a film buff, and if, on top of that, you’re a sucker for chick flicks and chick lit, then Ali McNamara’s books are just the thing. My Mum got me From Notting Hill With Love… Actually last year and I really loved the character of Scarlett who’s so involved with … Continue reading
Making my first Quatre-quarts
If there’s one cake I remember most about childhood in France it’s Quatre-quarts (Pound cake it seems over here). It’s so cheap to buy that most people have it for children’s birthdays, or I used to eat it a lot when I went to centres aérés (recreation centres) as a kid. But even though I … Continue reading
