Strawberry, Mint, Elderflower and Gin Cocktail

July 10, 2013 By All That I'm Eating 11 Comments

There is a bit of an elderflower theme going on at the moment on here but I do like to make the most of something while it's around. Having the elderflower syrup present in my kitchen means I am forever thinking up new ways of using it. I adore strawberries and mint and they are heavenly together so I felt like being brave, getting my muddler out and knocking up a summery cocktail. With all this glorious sunshine it would be rude not to. Ingredients You Read more

Cocktail Making at Lola Lo Oxford

May 28, 2013 By All That I'm Eating 7 Comments

I enjoy watching people make cocktails. Particularly when it's an impressive display of throwing ingredients together and seemingly defying gravity. It's all quite spectacular but is only worthwhile if the finished drink tastes half decent. I've always wanted to give it a go; behind a bar, cocktail umbrellas at the ready, knowing what it is I'm meant to be doing. It's not quite the same mixing it up in your own kitchen so when Lola Lo asked if I wanted Read more

Rhubarb, Rosehip and Lime Fizz

April 17, 2013 By All That I'm Eating 20 Comments

I'm not sure if you've ever been in the designated driver situation where you end up at a soiree and the host assumes that the only guests not drinking alcohol are children? As much as I like Um Bongo it's always a little embarrassing to reach the end of the carton and make that loud, conspicuous slurping noise while in the middle of a conversation. Down with this I say and hooray for the now bursting market that is adult soft drinks and cordials. I'm not Read more

Blackcurrant and Liquorice Lemonade

April 13, 2013 By All That I'm Eating 12 Comments

The next beverage in my adventures with Mr Fitzpatricks cordials is Blackcurrant and Liquorice Lemonade. The smell of this cordial makes me think of old sweet shops. I love blackcurrant; it's my flavour of choice for the last sweet in the bag. Liquorice I'm pretty unfussy about as I don't mind if it's there and I don't mind if it's not. The cordial smells rich, dark and mysterious so I thought it would be an idea to mix it with something sharp and Read more

Sloe Gin and Tonic with Elderflower and Apple

April 10, 2013 By All That I'm Eating 16 Comments

Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while will know about my penchant for sloe gin. I'm not sure what it is about infusing your own alcohol that I like so much. Perhaps it's the romantic idea of foraging for food, connecting with the land and being able to puff out your chest in pride when you've picked a kilo of berries. It could be to do with the fact that I like gin. Either way, my second post about drinks looks at mixing up sloe gin Read more

Hot Blood Tonic with Orange

April 8, 2013 By All That I'm Eating 13 Comments

One of my favourite things to make is drinks. They are so simple and there is a world of flavours and so many combinations to choose from. I recently met a great company called Mr Fitzpatricks who make a range of interesting cordials. To make the most of their intriguing flavours I am doing a series of posts all about drinks. The first of four posts is about the curiously named Blood Tonic. It's got a fantastic deep red colour Read more

Blood Orange Bucks Fizz

January 22, 2013 By All That I'm Eating 25 Comments

A new house and a new kitchen, a tricky transition I find. What will the oven be like; a brute or a wimp? It turns out the oven is a pretty good one although I am yet to bake a cake and discover its true character. We have managed to save enough space to have a pantry; something I've always wanted. There are a few boxes yet to be unpacked and a few more bits of furniture to be put in place but progress has been good. So, with all the unpacking, swearing, Read more

Damson Gin – how to make it

September 13, 2012 By All That I'm Eating 19 Comments

September is the time of year to get out and investigate the hedgerows. It's also the time of year to make some Damson Gin. There are all sorts of fruits and berries waiting to be picked by eager hands: sloes, rosehips, blackberries, damsons and apples can all be found with a little searching and bravery. I say bravery because foraging is always fraught with a small amount of danger, for instance, a wasp can easily be inhaled if you become distracted Read more

Sloe Port: The Taste Test

April 10, 2012 By All That I'm Eating 19 Comments

My sloe journey started on an early Autumn day when I was full of enthusiasm for making sloe gin. After rambling through the hedgerows, dodging a few rabbit holes and being careful of the thorns I had a basket rammed with sloes. I had romantic visions of sloe picking scenes but in reality it was pretty hard work. Was it worth it? Absolutely.
The sloe bushes are now in full, sweet smelling blossom and my port is ready. If you are out and about and Read more

Sloe Port – how to use leftover sloes

February 4, 2012 By All That I'm Eating 26 Comments

Luscious sloe gin will inevitably result in spare berries when sloes and gin are separated. There is only so much sloe chocolate you can eat and extra sloe gin you can make. I was informed by a kind friend that sloe port was worth a try but receptacles were thin on the ground. Fortunately my Granny had given me a Rumtopf a while back which was perfect for transforming my gin soaked berries into deep red port.   This port takes around four months Read more
