ad I threw a surprise dinner party for my husband, but the real star of the show was the half-dipped burgers using @heinz_uk truffle mayo🍔✨
I also served parmesan fries and a Caesar salad and it all came together as the perfect little dinner spread. A lovely evening catching up — and thankfully, the burgers got more attention than the actual surprise 😂

Peel and cut the figs in half. Place them on a plate, cover with cling film and press down with a glass.

Ad 10 years together means you have to get a little creative with date nights! What better way to spend the evening than with homemade pizzas on the beach? 🍕🌊

I made margarita and pepperoni pizzas to take down with us. And of course, we had to bring @heinz_uk Ranch for dipping – no dry crusts here! Safe to say, we’ve almost finished the bottle!
Here’s to many more chilled date nights✨

This is everything I cooked for a Friday night dinner! One of my dearest friends works abroad, so I wanted to go a bit all out for the dinner menu now she’s home!

A focaccia charcuterie is one of my favourite starters to serve, it’s fun, playful and always a crowd pleaser. But the star of the show was the warm cookies over vanilla ice cream, incredible combo!

On the menu:
🥖Mini focaccia charcuterie
🍗Buttermilk chicken
🥔Smashed potato salad
🍅Tomato, chilli oil & bean salad
🍪Warm cookie & ice cream

My favourite kind of friendships are the ones where even when you go a long time without seeing each other, when you’re back together, it’s like no time has passed at all!🫶🏼

Homemade everything bagels! They’re that easy to make you won’t want to buy them from the shop and only 2 ingredients! I usually use Greek yoghurt, but I had a tub of cottage cheese that needed using, whip it up and it works just as well!🥯

You’ll need:
300g cottage cheese @allthingsdairy__
180g self raising flour
1 egg, beaten (for brushing over the bagels)

For the topping:
2 tsp sesame seeds
1 tsp black sesame seeds
1 tsp onion granules
1 tsp sea salt

Blend the cottage cheese until smooth, transfer to a bowl and mix in the flour until a soft dough is formed.

Tip out onto a floured surface and knead for 2mins. Divide the dough into 4, shape and poke a hole in the centre of each ball.

Transfer to a lined baking tray. Mix the topping ingredients together in a small bowl. Brush each bagel with the egg and scatter over the topping mix. Bake in the oven for 25mins on 190C. Cool for 15mins before slicing and filling!🥯✨ by @gems.table
