COMPETITION TIME 🎉 I've teamed up with @mclarensonthecorner to offer one lucky duo a three course meal to be enjoyed in your own home next weekend! The menu, normally £20 per person, is still to be confirmed but if this week's menu of "Crispy Clava Brie & Chive Bombs with wild garlic aioli, cornichon & caper; Braised Scotch Lamb Shoulder with minted crushed heritage potatoes, roast shallot & green beans and Dark Chocolate & Rhubarb Cake with chantilly cream" is anything to go by, it's going to be good! The deets: a meal for two from McLarens Meal Club weekend of 5/6 June to collect between 12 & 8pm. This is an Edinburgh based competition and you must be able to collect it on Friday or Saturday. To enter: simply follow me @the_wee_food_blogger and @mclarensonthecorner and tag the lucky person you'd share with below 👇🏼 Competition closes Tuesday 2 June 2020 at 6pm, the lucky winner will be selected at random and will be notified by direct message to arrange directly with McLarens. Unfortunately they are unable to cater for dietary requirements due to the nature of the menu. Get tagging. Multiple entries welcome as long as you're tagging someone new each time! Not in Edinburgh yourself? Tag your Edinburgh pals to let them know about this fantastic competition! #lockdownperks 📷 credit: McLarens on the Corner from last weekend! . . . . . . . #edinburghfoodblog #edinburghfoodblogger #edinfood #edinburgh #thisisedinburgh #lockdown #lockdowncompetition #competition #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfood #edibleedinburgh #edinburghlovers #eatinedinburgh #mclarensonthecorner #edinburgh #ig_edinburgh #unlimitededinburgh #hiddenedinburgh #theweefoodblogger #theweefoodblogger2020eats

Good morning ☀️ There's been a wee flurry of newbies here recently so I thought I'd do a wee introduction. Every photo on my reel has at least one of my babies in it, so here is a video of me getting caught filming myself eating my Sunday roast bagel by my boyfriend. I mostly share home cooking at the moment...! But I also try to support local businesses by shouting about them 📢 on my page (and sometimes I dust off the actual blog). Here are 5 fun facts about me: • I used to be addicted to TV phone in competitions when I was younger • I perpetually fail to finish craft projects I start or have ideas for • I love growing humans 🧒🏼👶🏼 • I used to drink red wine with diet coke • I eat every single meal or item of food in order from worst to best - including sandwiches, chocolate bars, roasts, the lot. The last mouthful must always be the best thing on the plate. AND I've got an exciting COMPETITION coming TOMORROW so keep your peepers peeled 👀 Tell me something fun about you 👇🏼 (whether you're new here or not) . . . . #foodbloggers #foodjunkie #foodie #foodlover #foodphotographer #foodblogger #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfoodblogger #aboutme #introduction #funfacts #fivefactsaboutme #foodiesofinstagram #gettoknowme

How to level up your homemade pizza party 🍕 GARLIC MAYO. Oh my days, what a game changer. We made @wandererskneaded pizza dough again because it was so delicious the first time (and even better this time) and I had the brain wave to make some garlic mayo for dipping my crusts in. Yes yes yes. I used @thespruceeats recipe but split it down by a third, think I'll make it again with a whole jar and stick it in the fridge next time. I also made wild garlic pesto so I had an absolute garlic fest and ain't mad at it. If you've not tried the Wanderers Kneaded pizza tutorial yet, I do recommend it (or just go and buy one from their pizza drive thru if you cba) but here are my tips: • Watch the tutorial a few time through before starting • Make sure you wait the 15 mins to add the salt • Making it in one day is just as good as doing it over a few days • Don't be afraid to go hard (hot!) on the stove top, it's this that really gets it going and gives good results when the crust starts bubbling you know it's gonna be good • Ditto on the grill - turn it up as high as it goes • If at first you don't succeed, try again • If at second you don't succeed try one of @pizza_geeks DIY home kits • If at third you don't succeed just go to @wandererskneaded drive thru 😆 Also @insidetherustickitchen has a yeast free pizza recipe if you're not able to get your hands on some #theweefoodblogger2020eats . . . . #pizzaporn #pizzaparty #pizza #pizzalover #pizzatime #pizzapie #homemadepizza #lockdownfakeaway #fakeaway #pizzaforever #pizza🍕 #pizzaholic #lockdown2020 #lockdown #wandererskneaded #foodgasm #onthetable #foodintheair #tastingtable #foodjunkie #forkyeah #foodbloggers #edinburghfoodblogger #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfood #biteintothis #edibleedinburgh #theweefoodblogger

This is just a boy, enjoying his chocolate biscuit after 22 months of being dairy intolerant / having CMPA 🙌🏼 Such a relief knowing that he won't have to miss out when he's with friends / at parties / at school etc. We're not sure he's ready for egg yet, we'll keep going with the dairy before attempting it. But for now, he can enjoy a choccy biscuit like the rest of us ☺️ Also, I saw @thislittlehouse and @thesoundoflou say how rare an insta gram was - I guess we all put the instant moments on stories now so this is my insta gram, just snapped casually and uploaded straight away!

All is forgiven for being 50 minutes late (2 hrs 20 mins after we ordered 😜) when your duck penang curry shows up and it's got about half a bird in it. Streetbox have never been great for customer service (when I called after 25 minutes there was no apology and we've had several late deliveries and missing items before) but the food is so good, we have always gone back to them. It's definitely the best Thai takeaway we have discovered in Edinburgh. We pretty much always get the same thing - 2 duck penang curries, jasmine rice, satay and prawns. This week we branched out to try the Thai mussels, they were nice but not quite as exciting as I hoped they would be. With all the exciting takeaway options popping up over Edinburgh, I'm seriously regretting my maternity timing (and therefore lack of £ 😂) but hoping come payday we might be able to plan some more treats this month 😏 #theweefoodblogger2020eats . . . . . #thaicuisine #thaicuisines #thaitakeaway #duckpenang #penangcurry #chickensatay #tempuraprawns #takeaway #takeawayheroes #lockdowneats #lockdowndatenight #foodporn #foodpornshare #foodpic #foodgasm #onthetable #foodintheair #tastingtable #foodjunkie #forkyeah #foodbloggers #edinburghfoodblogger #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfood #biteintothis #edibleedinburgh #theweefoodblogger

About last night 🥟 my @chopchophaymarket order came earlier in the week so we had a fakeaway / takeaway hybrid. Top marks go to the sweet and sour ribs (though small) and the pork and coriander dumplings. Didn't rate the pork and prawn ones and the chicken wings had a bit of a funny aftertaste but at £3 a bag for 500g of each of them, we were pretty pleased. I made some quick easy noodles and a simple dumpling dipping sauce which Lennon was loving! Would definitely order the pork & coriander dumplings again. #theweefoodblogger2020eats . . . . . #fakeaway #takeaway #homemadetakeaway #chinese #dumplings #dimsum #ribs #spareribs #noodles #chinesefakeaway #chinesetakeaway #foodjunkie #forkyeah #foodbloggers #lockdowneats #lockdownfakeaway #foodgasm #onthetable #foodintheair #edinburghfoodblogger #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfood #biteintothis #edibleedinburgh #theweefoodblogger

[GIFTED] I shared this on my stories last night but actually it was so tasty, it deserves a grid spot and it's nice to support local businesses ☺️ @spice_pots got in touch to ask if I wanted to sample their spice blends - of course anything that makes tasty Indian / Goan food more accessible is 💯 for me. They're all nut, gluten, sugar free and are suitable for vegans, so cater to everyone really. A really lovely treat to yourself or the perfect gift for curry lovers. Last night we made tandoori chicken and next up we're going to get stuck into a Goan fish curry (maybe this will make my boyfriend like fish 🤔) oh and if you're still reading then you're probably interested and you can get 15% off with code weefoodblogger 🙌🏼 . . . . . #foodie #foodiegram #instafood #tasting #foodlover #foodlife #foodphotography #foodphotographer #foodoftheday #foodporn #foodpornshare #foodpic #foodgasm #onthetable #foodintheair #tastingtable #foodjunkie #forkyeah #foodbloggers #edinburghfoodblogger #edinburghfoodies #edinburghfoodie #edinburghfood #biteintothis #edibleedinburgh #theweefoodblogger
