Sensational Scones
You’ve got to love scones; light, fluffy, just sweet enough and the perfect carrier for a delicious topping.
Tropical Granola Bars
There’s something so handy about a cereal or granola bar, the can fit into so many situations – breakfast on the run, a quick pre-lunch snack, a picnic staple, or a post-workout refuel.
The Very Best Chocolate Cupcakes
These are not just any cupcakes, these are the very best chocolate cupcakes.
Caramelised Roasted Banana and Chocolate Loaf
A good banana loaf recipe is a winning addition to any baking repertoire, and this is an update of a 2013 recipe, it’s one you definitely need in your life.
Spiced apple galette
This is the perfect last minute pudding for when you have nothing planned or unexpected guests.
After Eight Chocolate Bars
I know that After Eights (thin soft mint fondant filled chocolate crisps in little individual envelopes) are available all year round, but for me they seem very Christmassy.
Chocolate Tiffin Wreath Cake
Our family is divided over the issue of Christmas cake; I make one every year and some of the family devour it like there’s no tomorrow, and others would simply rather have anything else.
Snowball Cookies
These are my riff on those nutty, icing sugar or caster sugar coated almond sandies or Mexican wedding cookies, but made nut free.
Nut-free Pecan Pie
Do you celebrate Thanksgiving? For us it’s familiar from cinema but not in real life.
Scrummy Shortbread
I felt rather proud seeing Claire Clark (my Patisserie tutor from Le Cordon Bleu) as a judge on Masterchef last night.
Hot chocolate and cocoa twirls
Children seem to love hot chocolate and it obviously needs no recipe – anyone can make their own delicious version with no instruction.
Blueberry/Apple Pillows
Fruit really isn’t particularly popular in this household and I definitely struggle with finding fruity puddings that appeal to everyone.
Toasted coconut and chocolate cookies
It’s been an ill week in this household – so it’s definitely time for some seriously good treat food.
Double Trouble Extremely Chocolatey Cookies
If you need a chocolate fix, then this is the cookie for you.
Lucky Clover Cookies
It may still be March, but the weather today looks perfect for a trip to the beach.
Vanilla Thins
For a dairy-free cookie these are remarkably ‘buttery’ and are perfect for cutting into any shape and even icing.
Hearty Chocolate Chip Cookies
Here’s a chocolate chip cookie recipe that robust, soft, cakey and a little more substantial than your delicate cookie.
Celebration Cupcakes
Here (at last) is the recipe for the celebration cupcakes I made for little S, the ones that were to be decorated with the rainbow drops I made on Thursday.
