Well we all love Mangoes and most often enjoy their golden sweet succulent flesh in the peak of their ripeness, in its virgin form. Peel off their skin from one side then let your teeth sink into their sweet cheeks, peel and eat till you reach their center white core then repeat the other side, […]
For ‘Red Nose Day’ (Comic Relief) at Baby A’s nursery I made this simple, delicious, chocolatey, ‘No bake’ ‘Egg Free’ Chocolate Cake with Marshmallows, Prunes and Shortbread. It was relished by all, very moreish, and to- die-for. This cake also known as the ‘Chocolate Biscuit Cake’, ‘Chocolate Fridge Cake’ or ‘Chocolate Crunch Cake’ was a […]
Mothers Day (10th March) is almost here and I have been gifted a lovely Mothers Day Card handmade by my 2 year old Baby A (at Nursery). What a treasure!! I have never really celebrated Mother’s Day at ‘Tickle My Senses’ and have been on the lookout for something simple and special that my reader […]
Well to celebrate Valentine’s Day ( yes I celebrated early to bring this recipe to you in time for Valentine’s), I baked these delicious Red velvet cupcakes, and must say they are truly magical. The rich deep red colour of ‘love’ in a cupcake, with the ‘not to miss’ ‘divine chocolate’ lusciousness in the Nutella […]

I have never been a jam lover, but this changed within hours after the birth of Baby A. In the Post Delivery Ward where I was kept for observation, the mini kitchen was stocked with a variety of cereals, toast with a selection of jams and marmalade for breakfast. Not in the mood for the […]
Baby A has grown to a reasonable height that now permits him to fiddle with all the buttons on my washing machine, dish washer and oven in the kitchen. There are several times when my washing machine has stopped mid-cycle because someone’s little fingers has been playing with the settings, and in that last minute […]
