Spooky Cupcakes

October 21, 2022

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.

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 […]

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.

A few Sticky Buns

May 22, 2016

Morning all. Ed is on his Sunday morning walk in the woods with Ernie and George is having his first lie in for weeks so I’ve just got time to share my sticky buns with you. There are many, many more buns to be found on thingswemake but I like this recipe as it’s not […]

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 […]

George’s Focaccia

Focaccia - Just bread with nice bits in.

Cheese Scones & New Kitchens

March 2, 2015

Can it be true? Can my kitchen finally be finished and I can get on with all the cooking? Seriously, it felt like years to get this far (11 to be precise) First we revelled in the idea of going out for dinner and several takeaways per week, but it’s surprising how quickly the novelty […]

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.

Apple Turnovers

December 17, 2014

It’s been a while, so I thought I’d break us in gently with a nice, simple turnover. We’ve been through a lot you and I. We’ve made good things and bad things, sown stuff and grown stuff, been places and filled our faces. I feel sad that I’ve not been sharing, but there are times […]
