For a long time, February has been considered the month of love. A time to truly show those around you how much you love them be it with words, gifts or a gesture of some kind. One of the things most commonly associated with love, Valentines and shared experiences with a loved one is food. It’s part of the norm to go out to dinner with a partner, to cook a special meal to celebrate news etc. Food is usually a part of most special occasions in some way, so why not when it comes to love. There are some foods...
A new year can often mean a new start and a new you for a lot of people. However, there is no need for dramatic changes as you’ve already done a pretty good job being the you you’ve been up until now. That doesn’t mean you can’t try or make small changes to improve your quality of life or perhaps the environment around you. January is becoming very well known by another name… Veganuary. It’s the month where many carnivores try and go completely meat-free and animal product free. This sounds scary to some but actually it can be a really...
If you thought about it, what would you say was the most popular or homely room of the house? It depends on size a lot of the time, but the saying goes that the kitchen is the heart of the home. If it is then perhaps food is the heart of the family. There is a lot of concern and worry in the world at the moment due to obesity levels rising as well as the number of people suffering with eating disorders but for a lot of people not suffering with either, food is what can bring a family together....
Now whilst we love cooking for you, thanks to popular TV programs like Great British Bake Off and Masterchef it has become more and more popular to get back in the kitchen and bake and cook at home.

Time of the year says that we should be focusing on Halloween, so here are some great recipes for you to try at home for October. Boo-nilla Ghost milkshakes are one the...

It is official we have entered the start of Winter. The nights are darker, the temperature is finally dropping and those golden and auburn shades of autumn are falling away and melting into the dark and somewhat dreary colours of winter…until we get out Christmas decorations that is! When the winter draws in, we want comforting food – it’s just that simple. We can’t imagine coming home from a long day at work, through the rain and the cold to a lovely plate of salad. No. Plus we also feel less inclined to put as much effort into cooking because it’s...
One of the things we love most about Eastbourne are our lovely beaches! We are always happy to supply picnic-ers with delicious treats to go and enjoy on the sea front (just no littering, alright?) Here’s a quick guide to our favourite spots: Grand Parade This is Eastbourne’s main resort beach and it’s right in front of the promenade – you can’t really miss it! It’s a classic Victorian seaside, with lovely hotels and lots of other vintage sights like the bandstand and the beautiful Floral Carpet Gardens. You can’t miss the pier either – despite suffering from WW2 bombs, storms...

Here at Deliciously Gorgeous, we are unashamedly obsessed with all things chocolate. So our very favourite Easter tradition has got to be, of course, Easter Eggs! But where did this sweet tradition come from? Over the centuries, eggs and chocolate have somehow become synonymous with Easter and springtime. Lots of us will know that the egg has long been a pagan symbol for fertility and rebirth, a sign of the new beginnings of spring and the growth of a new year. It was absorbed by Christian traditions as a part of the Easter tradition, coming to stand for Jesus emerging from...
