I love cakes and I love chocolate, but I hate complicated recipes, so I promise the title of these cupcakes sounds far more difficult than they really are!

How-To: Make an Epic Man Pie
By Emily
Last week, my fiancé, Nathan realised he probably couldn’t live on curry alone. He had an old school friend stay over, who now works in an Indian restaurant, and who had paid for his keep in curry! I have to admit for the first few days it was amazing, but a week later our stomachs were crying out for good stodgy food, preferably wrapped in pastry and containing lots of carbs. When we had the house back to ourselves Nathan decided it was time to make an epic man pie and it was so epic that I just had to blog about the experience. ( Read more )

How-To: Bake Jubilee Biscuits
By Emily
Really buttery jubilee biscuits - nom!
It’s the last day of work before the bank holiday weekend! As if that wasn’t enough to get me excited, I’m going to a Jubilee themed picnic at the weekend. I’d been wondering what I should bake for it when I came across this great recipe from Kerrygold for Jubilee biscuits. The result is a delicious buttery shortbread, which you could choose to decorate in regal colours.

It’s fair to say that I have quite a royal theme going on in my living room. My favourite find is this Royal Crest, which takes pride of place on my wall…

I first spotted it at Portobello Road Market and regretted not buying it. Then saw one again at Taste of Christmas festival, but was going for drinks straight afterwards so couldn’t take it home. It took weeks of searching afterwards but I finally found a seller on ebay…

Mexican Food: How-To Make Chilli
By Emily – Bailey’s friend, colleague and fellow home-lover
This recipe includes dark chocolate! Pinned by Kiki Newell from BBC GoodFood
Seeing Morven’s amazing guacamole recipe last week got me craving Mexican food, so I decided to rustle up a chilli last night. I’ve experimented with this chilli A LOT and this is definitely the best incarnation. I can’t take credit for the spiced butter – that’s Heston’s invention! As for the turkey, I used it to replace the beef whilst I was on a diet (it’s a much leaner meat) and discovered that it soaks up all those spices much better than the beef ever did.
This recipe also includes dark chocolate – making it a tasty way to use up some of your Easter eggs acquired over the weekend…

How-To: Paint Porcelain
By Mama Bailey
Painting porcelain: A quick and cheap way to create your dream crockery
This How-To came about when I couldn’t find the size of cup I wanted in a design that I liked. Refusing to make-do, I decided to buy white cups and saucers and created a unique design that I could paint in my choice of colours! It really doesn’t take long to do if you keep it simple and make the brush do the work for you.
