Dinner at the Berystead Hotel, Ascot.

31/03/2016








      

   


Hello Lovelies,

So last night I was invited to a surprise meal for one of my good friend, Poppy's 16th birthday. Obviously as it was a surprise she had no idea it was going on and it was all arranged amazingly by her mum!

We all arrived slightly earlier than Poppy and were warmly greeted with mocktails!

Once Poppy had arrived we went through to the dining area which had been beautifully decorated and set up once again by Poppy’s Mum. The table was covered in everything girly you could imagine, pink and white roses, fairy lights and little white boxes with intricate designs covering the sides filled with mini eggs! These are a big girl version of a party bag if you like!

Prior to arriving we had to decide what we would like to eat and I choose for a starter to have new season beetroot and whipped goats cheese, apple gel and pickled apple. For a main I choose Butternut Squash and Ricotta Cannelloni, courgette ribbons with cherry tomato fondue. And then finally for dessert I choose Strawberries and white chocolate ganache with pistachio tuile. All three choices I made were absolutely divine and I loved them all, especially the dessert!
Throughout the meal we were also offered variations of bread, which the onion one was the best.


 





I had an amazing meal at the hotel and would defiantly recommend it to anyone who is nearby, or looking for somewhere to go with amazing food.

Thank you so much to Poppy for having me there, I loved the whole experience! It was also crazy that I got to see one of my friends who I haven't seen for 9 years, as we both left the school. But then have both ended up moving to the same area without knowing!

Chocolate Easter Treat!

24/03/2016








Hello Lovelies,  
Around Easter I always have lots of chocolate, so I thought why not show you how to use up some! ENJOY!
Ingredients:
100g Milk Chocolate
100g Mini Eggs (One Bag)
150g Marshmallows
25g Butter
3 Tbsp. Golden syrup
400g Rice Crispies
Method:
1. Put a saucepan of water on to boil.
2. While waiting make sure all your ingredients are prepared and ready because it gets super quick just chucking everything together you don't have time! 
3. In a Glass Bowl that is larger than the saucepan, add together the milk chocolate, butter, marshmallows and golden syrup.
4. Place over the boiling water and stir constantly with a spatula.
5. Once all has melted down, remove the bowl and place it on a cooling rack. 
6. Immediately add in all the rice crispies and mix mix mix! make sure all the crispies are covered and remember to scrape the bottom of the bowl as lots of chocolate will still be there!
7. Spoon the mixture into muffin cases and it's okay for them to be large! I filled 10 cases!
8. Then add on top mini eggs to look like little birds eggs on a nest.
9. You can either eat them while they are gooey or leave in the fridge for 2-3 hours and they would have set.

I love eating these treats all year round because it is sugar galore but it is acceptable more around easter because... well everyone is eating chocolate so why not.


Happy Easter, i hope you all have a lovely time whatever you do and enjoy the 4 day weekend!
