Recipe ideas, hints and tips, and general musings........

Welcome to 'Diamonds & Dauphinoise'.....a new blog for all you super busy, glamourous, girls about town and yummy mummies alike....who are real foodie floozies at heart, and love to feed and entertain their family and friends, but perhaps don't always have the time or energy to think of ideas!

My aim is to help inspire you all, and reduce the flurry of panic and stress of rushing around your kitchens in your Louboutins...

Get your your partner, your friends and your kids involved. If your kitchen is large enough, why should you be slaving away on your own? The kitchen is the heart of the home, it should be buzzy, vibrant, and happy....just as the dishes that are coming out of it.

If you would like to contact me please feel free to drop me an email: helenmorrisonkitchen@gmail.com

Remember the MOST important ingredient of any meal is LOVE...

I do hope you like my blog... x o x o

Luscious Laduree

Every now and again us ladies need a little time to ourselves to catch up with our girlfriends over tea, a glass of champers, and have a good gossip.

Of course you can do this at home, but sometimes a girl doesn't want to cook.  My favourite place in London for such afternoons is perhaps Laduree, Harrods, Knightsbridge, London.

Sometimes there is a queue....but seriously it's worth it.....just think of all those light, deliciously sweet macaroons.....my favourites are:

caramel with salted butter
Madagascar chocolate
lemon
pistachio

oh and orange blossom
and blackcurrant violet
and rose

oh I love love love them ALL!

For those of you who don't have such a sweet tooth, the truffle omelette is to die for.....

Macaroons


The seating area is so baroque and luciously decadent, you will feel postively Marie Antoinette-esque.
