Sweet Hearts & Choc Dip

February 10, 2023

Marshmallow crispy hearts with a salted caramel & chocolate fondue. Please don’t make this for your Valentine, because that would just show me up. We’re not doing that this year.

Christmas Tree Brownies

November 2, 2022

2020 is the year to put up your fairy lights obscenely early and cook yourself whatever you bloody well fancy. I fancy Chocolate Brownies.

It seems a shame for these guys not to make an appearance, what with the spooky, misty evenings and everyone ‘going early’ on Halloween decorations this year. These are a project that most kids…or big kids can get on board with. If you are short on time or baking skills you can decorate ready-made cakes […]

Pretzels with Mars bar sauce

April 9, 2022

My favourite pretzel will always be brushed with butter and dipped in cinnamon sugar, but here I offer up a ridiculous chocolate caramel sauce made from melted Mars Bars.My favourite pretzel will always be brushed with butter and dipped in cinnamon sugar, but here I offer up a ridiculous chocolate caramel sauce made from melted Mars Bars.

Oat and Date Squares

May 29, 2018

One of our attempts at recreating a much loved school dinner offering, from memory.

Carrot Cakes

March 21, 2016

I’ve wanted to share these mini carrot cakes with you for a while. It’s a failsafe recipe and they are very moist and moreish, especially with the tangy cream cheese frosting. Instead of my usual standby of making cakes and sticking mini eggs on top, I decided to make teeny carrots out of fondant. I had […]

The Easiest Coconut & Lime Loaf

March 5, 2016

Oh my. Have I got a back catalogue building up? Yes…yes I have. I keep developing and jotting down recipes. Testing, eating, altering, trying again. I write them up in draft and just don’t get around to taking a photo and posting them on here. Here’s one to be going on with. As with most […]

Lemon Loaf Cake

May 25, 2015

Sometimes you just need a no-nonsense cake. One for the weekend, obligingly providing slices of dense, butteriness with every cup of tea. One for when friends are calling in and you want to offer sustenance, but nothing too fussy. One to wrap in foil and take on a camping trip or to stuff into a rucksack for a walk on […]

Gingerbread

December 21, 2014

This old fashioned Gingerbread tastes more delicious than the simple recipe has any right to. Sometimes the old ones are the best.

Much Ado About Muffins

August 2, 2014

I have written this solely for the purposes of calling a post 'Much Ado About Muffins'. It's all I got.

Apple Cake

March 23, 2014

Like carrot cake, but nicer…and without the carrots.

My New Favourite Brownies

February 28, 2014

If I sign up for a brownie, this is the one that I want.

Strawberry Shortcake

September 20, 2013

Not a pink 1970's rag doll but a rich, open-weave scone drenched with strawberries and cream.

Blackberry Jam and a Breakfast Cake

September 3, 2013

The idea for this cake came to me as I woke up this morning. I leapt out of bed declaring that I wanted some sort of breakfast cake. Is that even a thing?
