Exceedingly Good Apple Pies

March 29, 2014

My version of a Mr Kipling's Apple Pie.

Apple Cake

March 23, 2014

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

Mulled Cider

December 27, 2013

If you say to your guests "Would you like a glass of Mulled Cider?" they will invariably say "Yes, that would be lovely."

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?

You know how this works by now: I tell you a meandering tale by way of recipe foreplay then insert a money shot to keep your interest. Today though…because my final images are being saved for the Autumn edition of Aga Living Magazine you will have to make do with one of my ‘practice tarts’ […]

Orange & Elderflower Liqueur

June 29, 2013

Something different to our usual elderflower cordial and champagne that's a gnat's heavier on the alcohol.

Funnel Cakes

May 25, 2013

We never made it to the funnel cake stand, so we made our own.

Caramel Apple Tarts

March 11, 2013

These were destined to be apple and ginger, but they became caramel apple tarts and I can't see anyone complaining.

Pancakes? We got ’em.

February 11, 2013

A collection of our favourite pancake recipes.

Every Flavour Puddings

January 5, 2013

No bogey flavour ones (these are not Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans): These are my Every Flavour Puddings.

Clementine Madeleines

December 6, 2012

These are a nice alternative to a mince pie. They give you that 'chocolate orange vibe' without having to tap-it-and-unwrap-it.

Brendan’s Normandy Apple Tart

October 29, 2012

I spent Friday at the Seasoned Cookery School on a 'Brilliant Bakes' course hosted by Brendan, finalist in 2012's Great British Bake Off. The day started off very well with a slab of Brendan's homemade granola slice and a cup of tea.

Chocolate Cheesecakes

October 14, 2012

I know that all you want to do really is look at pictures of chocolate cheesecake. I aim to please.

Plum Cake {Cheese Cake}

September 15, 2012

I took one bowlful of Victoria Plums from our little tree and turned them into a tray bake that has allusions of being a cheesecake.

Apple and Salted Caramel Focaccia

September 5, 2012

It's focaccia, but not as we know it.

Marshmallow Pavlova Cake

August 5, 2012

It's kind of marshmallow, doing an impression of a meringue, made into a fruity pavlova-style cake. You get me?

Ruby Gin Fizz

July 15, 2012

Nothing is easier than gin fizz. I tell a lie, drinking gin straight from the bottle is easier but I am told that it's frowned upon and I should really get a glass. Also, you've got to get your five a day from somewhere, so why not from cocktails?
