Some women have a weakness for shoes. I have a weakness for beautifully designed kitchenware.

{Breakfast} Over On Heart Home ...

Over on Heart Home today I am sharing some of my favourite products for the breakfast table along with some of my recipe finds from a cluster of inspirational food blogs. If like me, you wake with a rumbling tummy, you'll love the recipe links - I plan to bake a batch of the Marzipan Dark Chocolate Scones (with raspberry Jam) for breakfast this weekend (You'll find a link to the recipe over on Heart Home).

This is the second in my new series of product posts for Heart Home. Last week the focus was on cake stands - if you missed it you can check it out here.

Over On Heart Home ...

I am delighted to announce that I am going to be making some regular appearances over on the lovely Heart Home blog. I am combining my passion for food with my love for design to produce a series of product focused posts. Alongside my selected products I'm sharing some of my favourite food photography and recipe links. My first post is up today and you can see it here, if you fancy a peep. I hope you'll enjoy it. 

Beetroot & Ginger Soup

I've had my first mince pie of the season. They are my biggest festive weakness and I've done well to hold off until now. There will no doubt be many tempting treats to be had over the coming month, so to balance things out a bit, I'll make sure I cook plenty of healthy meals. Soup is always a winner in our house - it's packed full of goodness, it's quick to make and the kids lap it up.

This week I shared one of my favourite winter soup recipes, Beetroot and Ginger Soup, over on Heart Home. For the recipe just pop over to the Heart Home blog.

P.S. Do you like the new Buttercup Days banner? I opted to change to this black & white illustration to allow the photography to take centre stage. There is still a bit of tweaking to do but it almost there.
Thanks to Keith & Mark at Absolute Zero° for doing their magic with the illustration and to Milly at Cow Systems for making it all work.

A Recipe For Heart Home: Two Popcorn Recipes - One Savoury, One Sweet

Earlier this week, in an attempt to nip-in-the-bud any school holiday boredom, I purchased a bag of popping corn for my children. At eight and four these little golden kernels of maize act as entertainment as well as a snack. They love standing around the stove when the popping begins; saucepans with glass lids go far to add to excitement.

I took this opportunity to have a play about with flavours. We popped a good quantity of corn and flavoured one half savoury (Parmesan & Marjoram) and the other half sweet (Honey & Cinnamon). Both varieties got the thumbs up.

You can find both of these recipes over at Heart Home today.

Happy Popping!

A Recipe for Heart Home: Peach, Rhubarb & Pistachio Tarts

This is a ridiculously short post, just to let you know that my recipe for Peach, Rhubarb & Pistachio Tarts is featured on the lovely Heart Home blog today. With the promise that summer has finally arrived, these would be just perfect to whip up this weekend and enjoy in the sunshine.

We're heading off to the wonderful Isle Of Wight later today to spend the weekend with my folk. The kids are SO excited, and David and I are raring to get there and relax in the garden, enjoy my mum's home cooking and get some sand (rather than the pebbles of Brighton) between our toes. Bliss!

Have a wonderful sunny weekend. xxxx

A Recipe For Heart Home: Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Regular readers may recall the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake I baked for the food photography workshop I recently undertook. Well, I finally got around to writing up the recipe, and as of today it is over on the lovely Heart Home blog.

Ooh, and incase you were wondering where that cheerful floral tea set comes from, it's from a little gem of a local shop called Keep It Vintage. I can't pass its shop front without pressing my nose up against the window - its wares are as tempting as that second slice of cake.
