I was really excited to go for my second Macallan event on Saturday and this time round, it’s to celebrate the launch of their first batch of Rare Cask whisky. Why is it called Rare Cask? It is because it is a celebration of their Oak Barrels and the head whisky maker selected 1% of...

Chia Seed Pudding Experiments
As I’m cutting out more gluten from my diet, I’ve stopped eating my usual Bircher Muesli in the mornings. Instead, I’ve decided to try making Chia Pudding as it is rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and is as filling as oat. Above is my jar of chia pudding and the recipe is so simple...
