  • Happy New Year!

    31st December 2018The Delicate Diner

    What a foodie year I have had! There has been so much to enjoy, to celebrate, and to have fun with. From visiting favourite local restaurants to going on cooking demos and brilliant foodie courses, there has been much to enjoy.  The Delicate Diner has grown a lot over this past year and I have to thank you all for your likes, your love, your messages, and your support.  Food has long been a passion of mine and I have enjoyed spending more time following this dream this year, and working out how I want to work with food in…

The moment you walk past the curtain, it is as though you are…

  • Lactose-free mint choc chip ice cream

    17th August 2018The Delicate Diner

    My favourite ice cream as a child was, without fail, mint choc chip. The lurid green ice flecked with chocolate pieces, it was the stuff of dreams and, no doubt, started what remains a life-long obsession with chocolate and mint flavours together. From the punch Bendick’s Bittermint to the easy going After Eight, combine those flavours together and I am a happy girl.

And that could only mean…

    I love to travel and an incredibly fortunate to be able to do so with my day job. April saw me go to the United States for a trip that took me through Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Florida. I hope you enjoy my snapshot of some of my foodie highlights.  11 April – en route to Heathrow On my way to Heathrow with the essential travel equipment – my reusable cup from Earsham Street Deli in Bungay. I cannot start the day without at least two pints of peppermint tea, and with the early start for my flight, I…
