Easy King Prawn Spaghetti Recipe
This weeks recipe is one of my favourite quick easy meals, although it’s not exactly that cheap as king prawns are quite expensive, but when I made this last week I’d picked these prawns up for £1.99 as they were reduced. They were fresh and I had originally decided to freeze them but then when time wasn’t on my side I used them to rustle up a tasty, filling and very quick dinner for myself. I love king prawns so much, I love them in Chinese food, Thai food, in a creamy garlic sauce with fresh bread a la Bee, but I love them most in pasta or risotto dishes.…

#184 Where Amy Ate – Candy Bar, Edinburgh
It’s been a while since the last Where Amy Ate post, clearly I haven’t been eating out enough! Anyway, on Tuesday I headed up to Edinburgh with Alice to see some shows on The Fringe, we saw a slapstick show by some guys that Alice knows that perform as the Three Half Pints, it was bloody hilarious. We then went to see Britain’s Fuck All Talent which again was so damn funny. I recommend both of them if you need a good laugh while you’re up enjoying The Fringe festivities. ANYWAY, we headed up early to fit in a spot of shopping and lunch before going to see some shows.…

My Favourite Cookery Books
During my hiatus i’ve been really inspired to come up with different posts that aren’t all reviews and events. I also have a few new monthly projects starting. I’ll be retiring my The Friday Five in it’s old format in favor of a new one and I’ll be saying bye to my Weekly Wardrobe for good instead i’ll simply for outfit posts as and when I shoot them. Today I thought i’d share with you my favourite cookbooks. As you can see I have managed to collect a fair few in the nine years since I first moved out. I did originally have more.. but when I was moving…

#153 Recipe No.11 Potato Salad with Bacon
So my bestie Bee and our friend group have a theory, actually it’s become more of a life philosophy, that everything is better with bacon. I decided to test this theory by taking one of my summer favourites (I can eat this by the bowl full with a glass of white wine on the side) and topping it with some smoked bacon. Like with the salad I posted last month, I don’t really claim this to be a recipe that takes great skill, but damn it is good. If I make potato salad it’s usually to go with barbeque food or even simply just chicken skewers done on the grill,…

#144 Where Amy Ate – Hard Rock Cafe, Edinburgh
Last week I was invited by the lovely Lesley up to the Hard Rock Cafe in Edinburgh for a bite to eat. So I caught a train up today as my mum is on holiday to babysit. This is probably one of my most exciting invites I’ve had as a blogger. I have been a long time fan of the Hard Rock Cafe thanks to my dad. I’ve been lucky enough to visit not only the Edinburgh restaurant, but also the one in London, New York and Orlando. My dad is a massive rock music fan so he’s been taking us to eat here since my sister and I were…

Recipe No.10 Pear & Prosciutto Salad
Firstly, after the dismal reaction to my Weekly Wardrobe this week, I’ve decided to drop it and just do odd outfits when I photograph them. I’ve had some tips as to take better photos so hopefully they’ll be improved when I do post them. Secondly, I think you should all give my bestie’s blog a follow. Journeys are my Diary. She’s been doing the #BEDM challenge and has really thrown herself into it. I have 250+ followers, and although I’m not sure everyone reads, I know at least some are into lifestyle which is what her blog is. Thirdly, this is a summer recipe. I prepped it when it looked…
