FoodNerd4Life Food Product Developer during the day and always being nerdy about dishes, products, recipes, cookery books and eating out. Nerd on! www.foodnerd4life.com

By day I work as a Food Product Developer for an awesome food company, where I’ve been working for the past 2 years after uni, meaning I get to come up with exciting new flavours and food products whilst wearing a sexy hair net and lab coat…oooohhh nice. Not quite a cape and mask. Luckily I’ve always been into cooking and fortunate enough to be encouraged my family and friends to cook and bake at

every opportunity, which meant I made and decorated my neighbours wedding cake when I was 13. I believe this is down to strong genes, from both my Grandma and Nanny, who were fantastic bakers and had much more patience when it came to making sugar cake decorations then I do! I have a passion for travelling and have been fortunate to go to some amazing places around the world and believe food and travel go hand in hand. Food is a great social tool, helps you learn of other cultures and history from it and believe it makes your cooking more diverse and you pick up some interesting cooking techniques along the way. The list of places I want to go to just keeps getting longer and longer though. I’ll try to include some recipes I’ve picked up along the way. Hope you enjoy my blog, I’ve just found it a nice place to put my recipes and to be in contact with other like minded foodies. Nerd On!

Bristol International Balloon Fiesta 2026 you were pure magical ✨✨✨
Truly one of the best weekends of the year for the city, seeing so many residents and visitors united with their eyes casted to the skies for the ascent of hot air balloons, for pure, wholesome joy. A sky full of drifting balloons still fills me with such pride and love for this city.

As ever the biggest thank you to Bristol International Balloon Fiesta for putting on such a great and free show for all the visitors. No small feat when the fate of the festival is dependent on the Great British weather 🫣

And to 2027 festival when I get a balloon ride…..🤞🤞

Recipe Rewind - Tiramisu Cupcakes. Tiramisu is having its moment, and quite rightly, done well, it’s one of the best desserts you can get your paws on. This recipe for Tiramisu Cupcakes has all the delicious elements you would expect for an indulgent tiramisu. Fluffy vanilla cupcakes, with a coffee liqueur drizzle, then all topped with a rich creamy frosting of mascarpone and cream with the iconic dusting of cocoa powder.⁠

Recipe Rewind - Aperol Spritz Jelly. An Aperol Spritz is one of my favourite drinks and I have fond memories sipping them in front of the cathedral in Genova as an aperitivo. There's something about the tart flavour of orange bitters, refreshing soda water and of course the bubbles of the prosecco, that makes it the perfect long drink for those hot days. The jelly traps the bubbles for a delightful fizz! Perfect at any BBQ or party.

Recipe Rewind - Pistachio and Cherry Frangipane Tart. ome delicious combinations just can't be beaten. The slightly almondy vibrant pistachios with tart floral cherries all in a buttery pastry case is a dessert of dreams. I just love the contrast in colours with the vibrant green from the ground pistachios in the frangipane with the dark ruby cherry jam and studded with dark plump cherries. Serve warm with creme fraiche or ice cream for a dessert that will sure to be a crowd-pleaser.⁠

Recipe Rewind - Rio Flavoured Marshmallows. Sunny days are finally here! Bring on all the tropical flavours and turn up Club Tropicana! To celebrate getting some sun rays, I made a pillowy pile of Rio Flavoured Marshmallows. This recipe uses the tropical soft drink, Rio which is sparkling water with the natural fruit juices Orange, Guava, Apricot, Mango and Passion Fruit in place of the usual water in the marshmallow recipe base. This gives the marshmallows a lovely delicate tropical flavour with the natural juices coming through. They would be a great post-barbeque dessert with a fresh fruit platter or toasted over the cooling embers of the barbeque.⁠
