Ice Lollies (UK brands and why Tesco come out on top again)
As I mentioned, summer has suddenly arrived in the UK – at last, some might say! So thoughts turn to ice lollies, especially if you’re a child and especially if most ice creams are out …
Chocolate Mint Cupcakes
So, it’s the Year 3 cake sale day at school today and even if I wasn’t very keen on baking, it would be important to provide some cupcakes that my girls can safely buy and eat.
Chocolate Coated Coconut Oaty bars
You may have noticed that I’m quite a fan of chocolate and coconut! The biscuit tin was looking empty and Little S had a friend coming to play on Friday, so this is a concocted recipe that ke…
Welcome Home Chocolate Biscuit Cake
She’s home! Big S came home from her activity camp today and the family is again as it should be.
Golden Crown Biscuits
I was feeling a bit lost yesterday with Big S on her three night activity camp with school.
Brown Sugar Blondies
So I have a half pack of silken tofu left over from the chocolate cheesecake recipe – what to do with it? I could have made brownies with silken tofu, but I’m all out of ‘safeR…
Chocolate Mint Thins
We seem to have become reliant on ending a meal with a mint chocolate! Unfortunately, our usual Mint Chocolate Crisps from Sainsbury’s Free From range haven’t been available for a while…
Old Town Oaties
This is my long-time fall back chunky chocolate chip cookie, enriched with oats and soft brown sugar.
Toffee and Raisin Cookies
I think I’ve been making too many chocolate biscuits recently – although they’re the family favourite – so today I made some Toffee and Raisin Cookies, just for a change.
At Last An Egg-Free Frangipane
This is the recipe for the frangipane layer used in the Knockout Pear and Almond Pastries that I posted yesterday.
Magic Chocolate Sauce
Do you remember a chocolate sauce back in the 80s that magically turned into a hard shell on contact with cold ice cream – was it called ‘Ice magic’? Anyway, this rich and sumptuo…
Knockout Pear and Almond pastries (aka Jalousie aux Poires)
It worked! I am so, so pleased! :-) My second foray into making French patisserie (as taught by the wonderful Claire Clark when she was a teacher at Le Cordon Bleu) but egg and dairy-free, has turn…
Mmmm, Chocolate Truffles
Fabulous dairy-free, rich and decadent chocolate truffles that are perfect for that after-dinner treat.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yet more cookies from me! These very chocolaty cookies are quite substantial and would work perfectly with a cup of oat milk to wash them down… Double Chocolate Chip Cookies (dairy-free, egg-…
Super-duper Gooey Chocolate flapjacks
Little S wanted to take in some biscuits/cakes that her lovely teacher could enjoy too (Mrs L doesn’t eat gluten and I’m not very practiced at gluten-free cake making), so I reverted ba…
Blueberry and Banana Cake
I had an hour before the girls got home from school and the snack options were looking pretty non-existent – I seem to have stopped buying a lot of snacks with all the baking I’ve been …
S’mores Bars (vegan too!)
The girls have always been rather interested in the concept of S’mores, probably from coming across the term in TV programmes.
Chocoholic Chocolate Cupcakes
These are the perfect cupcake if you like chocolate, and I mean REALLY like chocolate! Rich, chocolatey and decadent – think Austrian chocolate Sacher-torte rather than super super sweet cupc…
