White Chocolate and Blackberry Mousse

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Edd

As quite the chocoholic I was rather excited to be invited by Samsung to go and visit the Cadbury factory and see behind the scenes. I spent the day in the factory being shown how Cadbury make their chocolate and unsurprisingly it was a pretty fun day, although oddly I didn’t eat any chocolate all day! To make up for it we took home some white chocolate and made a delicious dessert, a White Chocolate and Blackberry Mousse very easy to make and truly scrumptious.  All of this was filmed for Samsung as part of an online campaign for their new Galaxy S2 phone take a look at the bottom of the post.

Carrot Cake

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Edd

So its January which means everyone and his mum are doing some sort of diet, detox or destress, something to try and be a bit healthier. For my own part I have decided to take part in the ‘Worlds Biggest Juice Detox’ basically living a week on juices made from fruit and vegetables so my phillips juicer will be getting its own work out, so far its going well but I am definitely missing food.

Gingerbread House

Posted on December 20, 2011 by Edd

So the kids are off from school (or work for the big kids like me) so you might have some little people on your hands to entertain this christmas time. Why not get them in the kitchen and make a cute and festive gingerbread house. This recipe is enough to make a house using this template and will leave you enough for a few extra gingerbread men which would make great christmas tree decorations too. Its a perfect christmas time recipe as the dough takes no time at all to make, is kid friendly and its fun, whack on some Wham or Slade, enjoy a glass of mulled wine (maybe not for the kids!) and just have fun making it. If you make one I would love to see the results so please do post the pictures on my facebook page. Continue reading →
