Gin & Tonic Ice Cream
Easy Gin & Tonic Ice Cream This is not a proper fancy recipe involving ice cream makers, eggs or lots of stirring and re-freezing: It’s 5 ingredients, a quick whisk, a few hours freezing and you’re done. I use a Seville orange flavoured gin and the pretty aromatic Fever Tree tonic but you can use […]
Cold Brew & Lollipops
June 6, 2021
I love an iced coffee, and I am here to tell you that I think it tastes better made with cold-brew. When I was little, my brother thought it was amusing to convince me that coffee was the best flavour chocolate in the box, purely because they were the only ones he didn’t like. It […]
Fluffy Pancakes & Coconut Cream
February 16, 2021
Occasionally I can’t resist the look of something I’ve spotted on Insta and have to try and re-create it myself. These impossibly deep and fluffy pancakes are a case in point, so I made them for a Shrove Tuesday feature for CenterParcs. I decided to share them today ‘cos they so pretty! The batter is […]
Jammy Dodgers
February 4, 2021
I’m not posting these because it’s February and just a few days from Valentine’s Day. Nope. Absolutely not. I just thought you might like a biscuit recipe that you can make whilst you’re stuck at home with reduced access to gifts and tacky cards. The fact that you can cut little hearts in the top […]
Christmas Tree Brownies
December 2, 2020
2020 is the year to put up your fairy lights obscenely early and cook yourself whatever you bloody well fancy. I fancy Chocolate Brownies.
Caramel Apple Pies
November 16, 2020
We have a small, wonky apple tree in the garden with three different apple varieties grafted into one, so it’s a Bramley-Cox-Russet tree. Except it’s minus its Bramley bit because that branch snapped off during heavy snow one Winter, so I have to get our Bramley supplies from Grandad’s tree. This year, as if desperately […]
Quick Green Curry
November 11, 2020
Viewers, please do not adjust your sets. Not only is this a post from me, it’s also vegan. Both of these things may come as a shock. I was asked to create a recipe for Vegan Month last year, and as November has amazingly come around again I thought I’d share it here because it’s […]
Christmas Cookie Tree
December 18, 2019
I thought I had better Christmas up my blog by sharing a festive post that I created for Center Parcs. These are the gorgeous festive cookies I made last year. They fill the house with an amazing Christmassy scent, especially if you make a batch of them into a Christmas tree like this: I used […]
Coconut Pudding with Mango Salsa
April 14, 2019
Watching Jamie Oliver cook a coconut and mango rice pudding TV this week made me really fancy a creamy, coconutty rice pudding. Then I remembered I had my own recipe developed for a magazine article way back in 2015. My document and photo hoarding has finally paid off, as here it is in its four-year-old […]

Peach and Blueberry Hand Pies
January 28, 2019
'Hand Pies' because you can eat them with your hands. They could also could be named down-in-one pies.
