Gwyneth Paltrow - Notes from my Kitchen Table...


This summer whilst browsing the cookery section in my local library (as I do very often!) I came across a new cook book by Gwyneth Paltrow. I'm always a little dubious when it comes to cookery books by celebrities seeing as these days just about everyone has one! However, after a little flick through I thought I would take it home. There are some lovely recipes in there and it's nice to read a bit about where her influences come from too. The first thing that caught my eye was the recipe for Fish Tacos. It sounded really different and really delicious. So, after a quick jaunt to the shops for ingredients, I set about making the tasty feast for dinner.

I have to say that I varied the recipe slightly. So, we ended up, with battered haddock, corn tortillas, chopped gem lettuce (instead of salted cabbage), diced tomatoes (instead of salsa), lime mayo and fresh guacamole. The results were amazing and thoroughly enjoyed by my mum and I. Can't wait to make some more things out of there!

Kat's Flowery Cushion...


My good friend and housemate Kat celebrated her 21st birthday the other day and she's a very crafty lady so I wanted to make her something equally creative for her birthday. I decided to make her a cushion for her room and a hand cut card. The cushion took me a little longer than originally planned, but I got there in the end! Here are the fruits of my labour...
