Inspiring friendly recipes and thoughts
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.
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.
Passionfruit and Lime Drizzle Cakes
Today is Father’s Day in the UK – providing the perfect excuse for making some cakes… not that I really ever need an excuse! I’ve been eyeing up these cute little loaf cases…
Lightly spiced crispy pea and mint cakes
This idea came to me after seeing a delicious sounding Ottolenghi recipe in this month’s Waitrose magazine for broad bean and mint cakes.

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.
