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.

Hot Soft Pretzels

February 16, 2013

Hot, soft, buttery, cinnamon sugar-coated pretzels - twisted and dipped by George.

Pancakes? We got ’em.

February 11, 2013

A collection of our favourite pancake recipes.

Oat & Almond Crumble Cookies

January 30, 2013

I usually just make half a batch of these oat and almond biscuits. A full plateful would be too tempting, but don't let me stop you.

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.

Dulce de Leche Brownies

November 19, 2012

Super gloopy, caramel filled chocolate brownies.

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?

Honeyed Apricot Tarts

June 23, 2012

Lil' honey glazed apricot tarts. You can eat these in one mouthful. That's one of your five-a-day right there.

Espresso buns

May 29, 2012

With each coffee choc chip spirals you get a hit of smooth coffee flavour, the toothsome bite of fresh baked dough plus a sweet sticky mess of icing that gets all over your fingers. Espresso Rolls : Perfect for elevenses.

Fruity Breakfast Loaf

May 27, 2012

We do like a fruity loaf. I made up this recipe on the hoof but it worked out just right for Sunday breakfast.

Espresso Panna Cotta

May 22, 2012

I am really very pleased with this recipe; I think it worked out rather well. Creamy and wobbly and rich with coffee flavours.

Caramel Apple Cloud Pancake

May 18, 2012

Oh really...more oven baked pancakes? I know, I know, but this one is another winner. I promise. It's a good way to turn a crisp green apple into a decadent dessert for two or a greedy breakfast for one. What's not to like?
