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.
A Day of Disasters!
It’s been one of those days… but hopefully after three disasters in a few short hours things are going to start looking up.
So it’s Easter Weekend…
Easter is a bit different for us, in a household where the children are dairy-free, egg-free and nut-free.
Chocolate Easter Biscuits
So, with the lack of actual Easter Eggs in this house I decided to make some chocolate biscuits in the shape of eggs.
