Inspiring friendly recipes and thoughts
Chocolate and Raspberry Mille Feuille
July 14th deserves a pretty French patisserie recipe, made friendly of course! Mille feuille (don’t make me try and pronounce this, I seem to be genetically unable to make it sound as it shou…
Chocolate Chip Scone Cake
Summer has arrived – yippee, and coinciding with the school holidays and a break from work – what could be better! 30 degree heat isn’t the kind of weather to be baking cupcakes &…
Raspberry Ripple Muffins
Raspberry season has now hit and we visited an amazing ‘pick your own’ farm yesterday where the bushes were dripping with ripe red fruit.
Crispy Chocolate Tiffin
Everyone seems to love a good Tiffin, or chocolate refrigerator cake, children especially, making it the ideal treat to have in for teatime treats for when children come round to play.
Strawberry and Rose Chocolate Discs
I think most people love a luxury chocolate some time or another, but with a dairy and nut-free diet they can be hard to come by.
Peach Melba Ice Lollies
Peaches aren’t very popular with my children – I think it’s maybe something to do with it being a wet juicy fruit.
Lemon and Thyme Welsh Cakes
Someone mentioned the combination of lemon and thyme in a sweet context the other day.
Mixed Berry and Elderflower Ice Lollies
I’ve mentioned before the problems we have in buying ice lollies.
(Fish-free) Tapenade
Our holiday in the South of France certainly got the taste buds tingling with sunny Mediterranean flavours; think tomatoes, gorgeous ripe fruit, flowers, wild herbs and fat olives.

Millionaires’ Shortbread
Millionaires’ shortbread seems to be a staple coffee shop sweet treat, and it’s certainly a tempting one with its crumbly shortbread base, gooey caramel and dark chocolate.
Crème Brûlée
I used to make a baby crème brûlée for Big S when she was a toddler by caramelising sugar over yogurt.
Chocolate cookies with a crunchy caramel centre
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.
‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Birthday Cake
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.
Cinnamon Bun Cake
Mmm, these cinnamon buns baking in the oven this week have scented the house with the irresistible sweet spicy warmth.
Devil’s Food Cake AKA the Best Chocolate Cake in the World
Sensationalist title, but it IS that good.
Blueberry and lemon Filo Crisp
I think puddings are the greatest challenge to those on a restricted diet – pudding is the comfort end of the meal and as a result often includes the highly calorific and soporific ingredient…
Gooey Cornflake, Marshmallow and Chocolate Cookies
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…
Christmas Cake
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.
