A blog full of food with a little craftyness thrown in!

You see that image up there? Isn’t it pretty?! Probably the best image of food I’ve ever taken and certainly up there in the top 5. Don’t those pancakes look so delicious and luxurious? Let me tell you a little secret; they’re Tesco pancakes that […]
