After taking part in the Morrisons M Savers Recipe Challenge (here’s my Chicken Tikka Massala recipe), I was invited to a bloggers event at the brand new M Kitchen in Morrisons HQ in Bradford. The evening kicked off with a demonstration of the M Savers Meatballs in Tomato Sauce with Spaghetti recipe by Richard, one [...]

It took me a while to work out how to make a cheap, delicious and fuss-free chocolate chip cake, but I think I’ve finally cracked it. It’s also easy on the washing up and it saves money compared to buying a ready made cake, at a cost of around £2 for 10 generous portions. Why [...]
