Lemon and Ginger Wafers
These crisp lemon and ginger wafers are a tried and tested pairing of flavours.
Banana Pancakes
Little S has gone off toast – I think she’s at that age when taste buds become extremely fussy since she only eats small amounts of everything but cucumber.
Frazzled Thyme Onions
These simple crispy onions are the ideal topping for a burger or addition to a salad or sandwich.
Chilli and Broccoli Salad
We’ve recently been swamped by broccoli – we seem to keep buying it although the fridge is full to bursting! Broccoli is lovely just boiled/steamed, but it’s good to do something …
Crumble Topped Apple and Apricot Pie
I’ve mentioned before that puddings are difficult if you’re dairy, egg and nut-free – you really can have too much soya yogurt! I’m not much of a pie maker, but pies make lo…
Oriental noodle salad

Bounty Cupcakes
My jar of desiccated coconut has been staring at me, unloved as of late but wanting to be used in some delicious concoction.
Churros
Churros (minus the chocolate sauce) are one of the few freshly baked treats we can buy at fairs, festivals and markets.
Mexican bean salad
Spring has arrived and the sun was shining – what better excuse to make some salads? You might have notice that I’m rather obsessed with salads – they’ll certainly be many m…
Tarte aux Fraises
Delectable French-style fruit tarts (tartes aux fruits with crème pâtissière filling) are my all time favourite puddings, so I was really keen to make a vegan version.
