Postcards from Morocco – Marrakech
In just two short hours I’ve left the green rolling parks and lush beer gardens of a warm London summer far behind and I am gliding over the arid dessert, salmon pink houses and swathes of olive tree farms of Morocco. They say that Marrakech is an ‘assault on the senses’ and the first comes…
Spending Winter in The Nooj…..
Are you looking for a little winter escape this weekend just perhaps? There’s something magical about rugging up and heading to the mountains in the dead of winter.

Quince, Coconut and Roasted Almond Crumble
There’s a little hint of autumn floating around like the golden flecked leaves that crunch around my feet as I walk to work now. I’m already dreading pulling myself from underneath cosy covers and flannelette pyjamas in the morning, but not to worry. While my favourite winter coat and scarves hang impatiently in my wardrobe…

Meringue Mango Passionfruit Pots
You know Summer is well and truly on its way when sweet fragrant mangoes begin to appear at the markets along with other tropical fruits such as passionfruit, pineapple and rockmelon.
