It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted any treats for you guys. I’m sorry! Bad blogger. Forgive me?
But loads has happened since our last foodie soiree.
I have a new kitchen! Which is the most important bit of my new home by the seaside, but maybe I should have mentioned the latter first… Yep, Harry and I have packed up and shacked up, all the way from North London down to sunny Hove.
It’s been all of a few days, but I think we likey!
Another biggie – I quit my job! So now, I work from home, with Harry, and I get heaps of time to spend in the kitchen and churn out lovely meals just like this one.
You’d think I’d be taking my sweet time a little more. But true to form, everything I’ve cooked so far has been super quick and easy, you’ll be pleased to know.
Old habits, and all that.This mouth-watering, sweet, sticky, better-than-takeaway-yes-really one is ready in 15 minutes – is that a record?
Eat your heart out, Jamie dear.
