Hibernation, rainbows and batch cooking

09.20.2017 by georgie // 2 Comments

Heads up, there’s a lot of chat. If you’re just interested in the recipes, skip to the end.

Almost a year away from the blog, just over 9 months – says a lot doesn’t it? I remember when Pete first set this up for me, I used it as a way of trying to get my life in some sort of order after Archie died. Throwing myself into cooking and looking after my little unit, trying to rebuild my confidence. It was my way of coping and trying to do something constructive when I felt like I was drowning. Fast forward to the end of last year (oh if only it were that simple!), 2.5 years later, and I’m pregnant again. 3rd pregnancy in 3 years. Cue an emotional shut down. I had no interest in cooking or blogging and my main goal was to get through the day. As someone who is normally pretty open I felt totally incapable of talking about what we were going through, all I could focus on was the clock and ticking off the hours and days. Most days I felt like I was walking a tightrope and just about (but not always) keeping my shit together.

Supper Clubs and Sweetcorn Ice cream

Bib + Tucker at Palm 2

I’ve just logged in and found 3 half written posts on here… Good intentions and all that? Hey ho, in a way, its a good thing, as it means book life has been busy. Stirring Slowly is out out and there has been all sorts of PR surrounding it – demo’s, Q+A’s, podcasts etc. It’s quite strange once you’ve written a book, for me it was anyway. I put so much love and time, sweat and tears into writing, developing and testing it, that once it got released I felt a bit lost. What do I do now? I still want to talk about it, it’s the biggest thing I’ve ever done! And more than anything I just want people to cook from it and to enjoy it (seeing peoples pics of what they’ve made must be one of the best feelings). I don’t want to start writing book 2 straight away, it would feel like I was cheating on SS, does that sound strange? Not just yet anyway…  [Read more…]

Countdown!

07.03.2016 by georgie // 2 Comments

Welcome to my pimped up new site!

Georginahayden.com has had a make over, hence being a bit quiet of late, but I hope you agree it looks loads better than when it was left to me! And hopefully it’ll be easier and slicker to use. I’ll keep up with my regular recipe posting, some book extracts, as well as things like travel posts and reviews.

But for now, a bit of excitement for a Sunday eve – only 4 days to go till Stirring Slowly is out in the world!

Thanks to everyone who has preordered already, I massively appreciate it. Countdown… x

4 days to go...

  • This mornings breathtaking breakfast by @skyemcalpine. All recipes from Skye’s seriously stunning new book, surrounded by friends in the most glorious setting (@petershamnurseries you make me weep. And wish I had more credit cards). What a corker of a day. #atableinvenice
  • Suns out. New dress. Sunnies on. And starting the day with a stupendously gorgeous breakfast by @skyemcalpine at @petershamnurseries. What a day! Pics of breakfast to follow. Although I’ll blatantly have to steal @theboywhobakes’ because holding wriggly P + taking decent pics is near impossible. (Or I’m just a crap photographer).
  • Roasted Mespila (aka loquats or nespole). Just like on our wedding day, where we had them alongside the most perfect panna cotta.
  • Late night testing means tahinopita for breakfast. These vegan breads are filled with a sweet cinnamon tahini and are one of my all time favourite Cypriot foods. I reckon they’re going to be a hit from the next book (easy, quick, vegan ✅✅✅)
