Most of us believed in Father Christmas at some stage of our lives. He is the best of all the child-belief figures; better than the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy combined. Sadly time goes by; you grow up and notice Mum has been using the same wrapping paper as Father Christmas and it just doesn’t add up. A logical 10-year-old with an already incisive mind, you put two and two together and lose all innocence.

I am going to be honest. I live in a complete and utter mess. If I was left to my own agenda, I would gradually fill the floor with used clothes, the tables with empty un-scraped plates, and would neatly and efficiently pile the bin higher and higher until eventually it collapsed under its own wait. Whilst I am happier in a tidy house, the effort involved in dragging my lazy arse off the sofa and towards my arch nemesis, the hoover, is more than I can be bothered to exert!

Cabbage has got itself a bit of a poor reputation. People bitch about eating it, but that is probably because they have mainly experienced over-boiled, fart-smelling mush that makes the cabbage soup in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory look like Michelin cuisine. BUT, with the old rule that frying stuff makes it taste better, cabbage can create a delicious vegetable dish.

You're probably sick of being told about soup this Christmas, but stop that this instant!

There's nothing worse than a passive agressive blogger.We've all had the urge to rip someone a new one in a thinly veiled rant. ("Instead of Lily, I'll just use the name Frilly! NO ONE WILL KNOW.")However, those of us who have been caught or called out know that it's never a good idea. Mainly because whoever you're writing about knows, and also because it makes you sound like a melodramatic douche.

You could try to squeeze more vegan nutrition into an eight-by-eight inch casserole dish, but I don't think it’s possible. This quinoa bake is packed with protein, vitamins, heat and deliciousness that will warm your winter bones. For this recipe you’ll need quinoa, or “Incan miracle grain” as I like to call it, and soy chorizo. That’s right, chorizo made out of soy! What will they think of next!? Americans can find it at Trader Joe’s and I'm su...

Step 1) Get drunk. Preferably on wine because a mellow, classy drunk will serve you well in the kitchen.Step 2) Crush a bunch of old croissants that have been hardening in their plastic bakery container on your counter for a month or so into a million tiny pieces. Or, you know, some old bread. Whatever you’ve got lying around. Don’t worry about how big or small the pieces are. Just listen to your heart. It is probably drunk too and it knows what it wan...

Amy Winehouse has reportedly spent a jaw-dropping £18,000 on Christmas decorations. The Christmas shop took place in London at the luxury department store Selfridges. Even at Selfridge’s prices that is a ton of tinsel. London should be prepared for a power surge when Amy turns her Christmas lights on.

If you are anything like me, then thinking of new present ideas is a difficult task. Don’t get me wrong – thee will always be those people for whom buying presents is a blessing, who have many hobbies and interests and who are so well known to you that instinct directs you to the right shelf. For all those other people, however, picking the perfect tie or generic DVD may just be one of the most painful (and not to mention ruddy boring) activities you have ever embarked on.

By January, you will most likely be sick of parsnips and other such root vegetables, but until then, you may as well embrace what's in season and enjoy them mashed, roasted, or in an aromatic, warming soup.The sweetness of parsnips lends itself especially well to being spiced, which is why curried parsnip soup has been gracing dinner tables since before Come Dine with Me was even a glint in the milkman's eye. This version, which roasts the parsnips with whole spices and honey, for a ri...
