So about a month ago, my mum and I went to a chocolate and caramel making workshop. About halfway through it all I decided that chocolate making was my calling and that I should quit my job and open a shop. I have these dreams every now and again, but haven’t followed through on them…so […]
I endeavoured to make gnocchi last weekend. How could it be that difficult, I thought. It wasn’t really. What else would I be doing with that time, I wondered. And so I set off to find a seemingly easy to follow gnocchi recipe. I did find one, by googling “Jamie Oliver gnocchi recipe”. You can […]
