Dressing up, a little bit naughty and very nice
Christmas can be a stodgy affair…but it doesn’t have to be!

Dressing up and dressing down
It has been a bit mad here the last couple of weeks. I have started my French business, Desri’s Kitchen and been number crunching and trying to make that work on paper (in the French system – that is hard!). I am adding in teaching raw cuisine as well as healthy ways to tweak […]

A quickie and a little cry.
This is such a quick and satisfying meal, a bit like (a lot like actually) a creamy risotto. I do adore risotto, full of butter and garlic, wine and parmesan. My favourite is with scallops and prawns. And that is a treat, occasionally. This one is for any time, no guilt, delicious taste, lovely feel, […]
