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!

Recipe Rewind - Grapefruit Ricciarelli. These super chewy, moreish Italian almond biscuits are a must-bake recipe with only 5 ingredients to produce Grapefruit Ricciarelli. Originally from the Italian city of Siena, which is also home to the delicious panforte, you'll be surprised how quickly the dough comes together for these cookies and perfectly paired with a strong Italian coffee.⁠

Recipe Rewind - If Paddington Bear needed some ice cream to cool down, then it would be this recipe for Sourdough Bread and Marmalade Ice Cream. Bread in ice cream might sound like a weird flavour, but when the breadcrumbs are baked with butter and sugar to make these super nutty, crunchy nuggets like shortbread crumbs with the tang of the sourdough, it's a magical ice cream flavour. Paired with sharp marmalade for a quick non-churn ice cream recipe.⁠
