Caramel Victoria Sponge
It was Little S’s 6th Birthday yesterday – she had been looking forward to it for ages (I think that when she started counting down the days there were almost 100 to go!).
Egg-free Meringue
Here it is, at last… drumroll please … the Holy Grail of egg-free / vegan baking, a recipe for proper, homemade meringues that look and taste exactly as they should.
Birthday Fairy Cakes for School
All children seem to take cakes into school on their birthday, it adds to the excitement of the day and lets the whole class join in the celebration – my girls (due to a restricted diet) hard…
Penguin Themed Birthday Cake
So here it is, the birthday cake for Little S’s birthday party – the theme was penguins.

Sweet and Spicy Chilli Jam
For D’s birthday I thought I’d make him something homemade among his presents.
Chocolate Chip Shortbread
I haven’t made shortbread for a while, but there’s something so delicate and moreish about a good shortbread, I have been feeling the need to make more.

Get Your Greens Here! AKA Salt and Vinegar Kale Crisps
I find kale rather challenging, it can seem so ‘green’ and tough and although doubtless packed full of goodness, it is not usually what I really feel like eating.
Gorgeous Fluffy Green Couscous
This recipe is a bit of an amalgamation between Yotam Ottolenghi’s Green Couscous and my Guaranteed Fluffy Couscous Salad.
