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

The Truth about the 'Domestic Goddess'



Ahhhhhh the Domestic Goddess....a legendary woman, whose beauty and capabilities in the home are unrivalled.



50's housewife

A classic Domestic Goddess will always have the dinner on the table as her husband walks through the front door, adorned with pearls and perfectly rouged smiles.

(gosh would you just look at all those sparkles!!)

Housework is always a pleasure never a chore....

These days we must not only be a culinary genius in the kitchen, a yummy mummy, the hostess of the mostess, happy, independent and retain the body of the slim 20-something we were when we met Mr Right

  I believe that each and every one of us, no matter how busy and frazzled, is capable of all six traits - perhaps not 100% of the time - but every woman is naturally able to look after her partner and her brood.
I think the word 'woman' should be changed in the Oxford English Dictionary to 'SuperWoman'.

Perhaps the secret is to try and remain cool, calm and collected, and also know all the tricks and shortcuts in the book.  The key is knowing what flavours compliment which products, and making relatively easy, tasty breakfasts, lunches and suppers that are not time consuming to prepare, leaving you more time with your partners, children, friends or dare I say it work. 

Of course this is not possible for every meal of every day of every week.....but this where I come in.....to try and give you hints and tips and recipe ideas to get you through the coming days, the weeks, the months, and years.

Hopefully I will also be able to help bring the joy back into your kitchens......as I cannot think of a better way to show your love to those in your life every day......
