It's taken me longer than I thought to get back into the kitchen since my travels through France. 

Since returning, work has been busy, I've had quite a few cooking jobs on for others each weekend and then there was the lead up to Christmas - so as you can see, cooking for myself has taken a back seat.

I'm still not fully motivated again, but I'm getting better.

See.....I made me some pancakes.....

Nigella's Ricotta Pancakes to be precise.

The strawberries are beautiful at the moment!
