So, it is two days before Christmas, your mother has prohibited you from touching any of the Christmas dinner food, you need a quick snack to soak up the festive drinks, and you have spent so much money on presents that you can’t afford to run out for a take-away. What to do?! Make a Christmas quesadilla, that’s what!

For many of us, the winter holidays bring visits with friends and family and nights by the fire. If you’re lucky, those nights will include an amazingly tasty concoction called coquito.
Growing up my dad would drink eggnog and whisky, just a little, during the holidays - a mix that’s never really been to my liking. But a few years ago my friend Julio introduced me to the Puerto Rican version and it’s now the rage at all our holiday shindigs. It’s easy too. Enjoy! (And, thank...

I was perusing the seasonality section of Think Vegetables, thinking that there must be more to December to sprouts, and well, there is. It would seem that it is in fact all about leeks and potatoes (and the odd other thing, but allow me some artistic license here!). The obvious thing to do would be to blitz them up into a soup,...

Scrapbooking the old fashioned way with pens, paper, and glue has been around for ages, but digital scrapbooking has taken the hobby in a new direction: it's greener, it's easier to access, it's more portable, and in some cases, cheaper.

Nigella Lawson might be cowering in the wake of the controversy she caused last week over her somewhat shocking fur comments, but luckily this isn’t stopping her from doing what she does best: educating us foolish Aunt Bessie devotees in how to cook proper Christmas food. Last ni...

Lasagne is a brilliant dish. Everyone loves it, it is easy to make, and is absolutely delicious. When it is really cold outside, you crave hearty food, but it doesn’t take long to get a bit bored with potato based dishes.

Toad in the Hole is one of those ridiculously stereotypical British dishes that actual British people pretty much never cook.
