Leprechaun Cookies (Mint Choc Chip)
Tomorrow is St Patrick’s Day, requiring the cooking of some Irish food.
‘Hot Cross Bun’ Cookies
Having posted about Hot Cross Buns last year, I thought I’d spice things up with a new idea.
Cookies and Cream Cupcakes
Here’s another Hummingbird inspired idea – jazzing up vanilla topped chocolate cakes with biscuit crumbs makes a delectable ‘cookies and cream’ cupcake.
Crumble Topped Apple and Apricot Pie
I’ve mentioned before that puddings are difficult if you’re dairy, egg and nut-free – you really can have too much soya yogurt! I’m not much of a pie maker, but pies make lo…
Whoopie pies
I made a batch of whoopie pies ages ago when they were briefly fashionable (it’s more about the macarons now, which I’m determined to master in vegan form soon!).
Anzac Biscuits
Anzac biscuits for Anzac Day! These are an antipodean staple – sent to the troops serving in the Anzac forces during the war because they were tasty, calorific and durable.
Banana and Chocolate Cookies
I always try to make some homemade treat at the weekend so that the girls can have a tempting homemade goodie when they get home from school.
Bounty Cupcakes

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.
Strawberry Scones
Early summer in England is all about the strawberries and what goes better with strawberries than scones? Here’s a simple variation on a scone recipe.
Chocolate and Raspberry Mille Feuille
July 14th deserves a pretty French patisserie recipe, made friendly of course! Mille feuille (don’t make me try and pronounce this, I seem to be genetically unable to make it sound as it shou…
Chocolate Chip Scone Cake
Summer has arrived – yippee, and coinciding with the school holidays and a break from work – what could be better! 30 degree heat isn’t the kind of weather to be baking cupcakes &…
Raspberry Ripple Muffins
Raspberry season has now hit and we visited an amazing ‘pick your own’ farm yesterday where the bushes were dripping with ripe red fruit.
Crispy Chocolate Tiffin
Everyone seems to love a good Tiffin, or chocolate refrigerator cake, children especially, making it the ideal treat to have in for teatime treats for when children come round to play.
