Inspiring friendly recipes and thoughts
I used to make a baby crème brûlée for Big S when she was a toddler by caramelising sugar over yogurt.
I guess this cookie is reminiscent of a Hershey’s peanut butter cup, minus the peanuts and in cookie form! So maybe not all that similar on second thoughts.
So here is Little S’s Birthday cake from this year – she loves the TV program “Strictly Come Dancing” and really wanted that as the theme for her party.
Mmm, these cinnamon buns baking in the oven this week have scented the house with the irresistible sweet spicy warmth.
I can’t say this is a new recipe – I blogged about it when I first started writing and had forgotten what a fantastic recipe it is until linking a twitter buddy to it the other day.
I think Autumn can be a great time for experimenting with unusual salads – contrasting autumnal root vegetables with warm flavours and fresh, crunchy leaves.
Sensationalist title, but it IS that good.

This recent cold snap has made me think of warming spices and anything comforting and cosy.
I found this recipe online a while ago which looks like the ultimate over the top version of a chocolate chip cookie – I’ve had it ‘bookmarked’ in my mind and just had to gi…
Since today is ‘Stir up Sunday’, the last Sunday before Advent and the day you are supposed to make a traditional Christmas cake, this spurred me on to make a friendly version.
I have to apologise for the sudden overuse of chocolate chips in my recipes – I bought a job load of these wonderful EnjoyLife chocolate chips and i just can’t seem to resist using them…
Christmas is fast approaching (eek! I’m so unprepared this year!), and so it’s the perfect time to think about suitable treats or edible gifts.
‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ what with carol services, Christmas concerts, Christmas fairs and the Christmas box emerging from the attic! Expect some really seaso…
I have been lucky enough to have been challenged by Waitrose to concoct a vegetarian alternative to eat at Christmas lunch.
I’ve had a jar of homemade mincemeat hanging about, since last Christmas in fact, waiting to be used up.
I had a sudden panic today – my last free day before Christmas and I was lacking a couple of presents.
