I don’t know about you, but with winter so close, I am constantly craving soup! Ever since Agnes’ last post about comfort food, I have wanted to revisit some delicious soups. Here are some of our favourite soups from the … Continue reading →
This weekend in the UK the clocks have gone back, meaning shorter days and darker evenings. This is probably my least favourite thing about autumn – along with the onset of winter colds! At this time of year it’s really … Continue reading →
I have been in the States for just over 2 months and I have found something magical, something that has changed my life…. coconut creamer. I am sure you dairy free and vegan people in the US have known about … Continue reading →
Here at Food and Feminism, we love autumn. Leaves changing colour, crisp on the ground. A slight chill in the air which means finally pulling out the sweaters. Here are some of our autumn recipes from the past few years … Continue reading →

Looking back at my last post I cannot believe time has flown so quickly… what has happened to July?! I think the answer may partly be that due to the exceptional amount of rainfall it has yet to seem much like a … Continue reading →
I made these cupcakes for a summer tea party (the sun even shone!) and they went down very well, even with those who were not massively keen on cupcakes. The raspberries add a nice tartness to the frosting but also make … Continue reading →
I would like to pay my respects to a screenwriter, Nora Ephron, who’s work has been among my favourite. She gave us such classics as When Harry Met Sally…, You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, and Julie & Julia. She … Continue reading →
It is the time of year when, despite all the rain and cold, magazine racks start to fill with covers offering tips to get the perfect ‘bikini body’. It seems that for the whole of summer, women are supposed to … Continue reading →
THE SUN IS SHINING! It feels like this Boots advert from a couple of years ago. If there’s a break in the rain near you today you need to get out there and soak up those precious rays of vitamin D! The … Continue reading →
Hello blogging land – its Agatha Bakewell again. I have been absent for awhile, mostly related to big life changes. I am going to be making a big move in the autumn, I’ll tell you about it in due course. … Continue reading →
Everyone in the UK is probably getting slightly fed up of the rain. Apart from a few days of sunshine it’s been pretty constant. But whilst it would be nice to have some proper spring weather, these wet and windy spring evenings … Continue reading →
I have to confess that I have never been that much of a cupcake fan. It’s not that I don’t like them, just that I often find them a bit sickly sweet, and would generally rather have a big chunk … Continue reading →
The furore around the toxic breast implant scandal that hit the headlines in December last year seems to have settled down – as with many issues the media picks it up, bombards us with it and then it quietly slips away. … Continue reading →
It may be March and the daffodils are out but the weather is still pretty cold, especially in the mornings. Therefore a warming breakfast is still necessary! Porridge itself can be the epitome of blandness but it is very easily … Continue reading →
It’s just been one of those days… Oh Paul Hollywood, what did I do wrong?! You can find the recipe here… I only let the mixture rest for just over an hour but that should still be fine. It was bizarrely thick, … Continue reading →
Ok so when I said we’re back I didn’t neccessarily mean instantaneously…! But I have been busy in the kitchen, working on muffins to sell at the cafe where I work. Today I bring you Banana and Walnut, and Mixed … Continue reading →
We’re back:) Unbelievably this is our first post of the year… work, work and more work has unfortunately got in the way of our blogging and baking adventures. Well this is not strictly true, as work for Agnes has started … Continue reading →

It’s all getting a bit festive here in the Pavlova household. My Dad has strung the front of the house with lights and comes home every night from work with yet another box from Majestic – we literally have enough … Continue reading →
If your flat is anything like mine, it refuses to get warm in the dead of winter. No matter how long the heating is on, we can’t seem to break the cold. This is where the rice pudding comes in. … Continue reading →
I know, I know, it has been ages! The day after Thanksgiving, I had a friend visit and well, I’ve been caught up in preparation for Christmas. I am wearing some Christmas socks as I write this even. Three weeks … Continue reading →

The next stage in the cider making process is to put it into bottles and lay it down somewhere cool and dark for a couple of months to allow it to do its thing. I was advised to use kilner-lid-style … Continue reading →
Have you been enjoying the autumn weather in London? It has been so foggy, chilly, and just generally autumnal. For me, this means I have broken out the woolly socks and rice pudding (which I will post a recipe of … Continue reading →
I know that Christmas is still a long way off but if you’re making your own Christmas cake and/or Christmas pudding you have to start early! My grandma has always made the cake and Marks and Spencers has always made … Continue reading →
I just have to declare this to the world – I love kale! One of my favourite ways to have kale is with butternut squash soup. But this recipe is very easy, quick, and tasty. I think kale chips are … Continue reading →
Since I last posted about the cider it has settled down completely. However I wasn’t sure what should happen next… should I filter it into another demijohn? Or into bottles? As I don’t have another demijohn or any suitable bottles … Continue reading →
I am a big fan of carrot cake but have yet to find the perfect recipe for making one myself. The best carrot cakes I’ve had have been in Jaffe and Neale in Chipping Norton and High Tea of Highgate … Continue reading →

Having added the yeast to my cider I was slightly concerned about the amount that it was fizzing… it’s been going pretty much constantly for three days and sounds like a dripping tap. I was beginning to wonder whether I should have … Continue reading →
Quick update - I ordered some champagne yeast from the internet and today it arrived! Apparently using champagne yeast will give me a light, sparkling cider. I couldn’t find any agreement on quantities so added the whole (5g) sachet and am hoping for the best. … Continue reading →
These past few days the weather here has been sunny but really cold. Autumn is properly here and it’s time for woolly jumpers, hot chocolate and cooking up chutney! If you have been growing tomatoes outside this summer the chances … Continue reading →
Of all the fruits and vegetables that are available in Autumn, apples are probably the most abundant and the most versatile – apple pie, apple cake, apple crumble etc. etc. But this year I decided to try something different and … Continue reading →

Beetroot might not sound like the most suitable ingredient for a cake but I can honestly say I think this is one of the best cakes I have ever made (or eaten!) I was given some lovely beetroots when raspberry picking last … Continue reading →
Last night I went to the pub with some people that I have known nearly all my life – we went to school together, our parents still live in the same village and very occasionally if we’re back visiting at … Continue reading →
