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.
Chocolate Brownie Cookies
There’s not a great deal to say about these other than they’re part brownie, part cookie… they’re chocolate brownie cookies! So they have that soft chocolate texture in cook…
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.
Chocolate Chip Brioche
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…
Chocolate Chip Biscotti
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.
Cinnamon Bun Cookies
‘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…
Mince Pie Streusel Bars
I’ve had a jar of homemade mincemeat hanging about, since last Christmas in fact, waiting to be used up.
Fudgy Thumbprints filled with Chocolate Ganache
These are the perfect little cookies to brighten up a cold january day (or to make a friend doing Veganuary smile!) – after all nothing improves the mood more than some gooey chocolate and fu…
