Lemon Sherbet Drizzle Cake
One of the few joys of the summer holidays drawing to an end and Autumn approaching is the return of the Great British Bake Off.
Viennese Whirls
With the Great British Bake Off in full swing, I’m determined to bake along and prove nearly everything can be made friendly, delicious and beautiful.
Afternoon Tea at The Langham Hotel, London
I’m always astounded by my girls that they have never made a fuss, never whined and whinged about having food allergies.
Chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel buttercream
Is there any more delicious and tempting combination than chocolate and salted caramel? The flecks of saltiness in sticky sweet caramel paired with irresistible chocolate is a match made in heaven.
Vegetarian ‘Swedish Meatballs’ and mustard cream sauce – dairy-free, egg-free and nut-free
There’s something very appealing with the coming of Autumn and a turn from bright sunny Mediterranean flavours (generally my preference) to a more Scandinavian cosy vibe.
Millionaire’s Shortbread
Millionaires shortbread, or chocolate covered caramel shortbread – is it a thing all round the world? Here in the U.
Parkin
Ever heard of a Parkin? Well you probably have in the UK, and most certainly if you’re from Yorkshire.
Dairy-free Chocolate Cheesecake
Now, obviously you can’t make a really authentic cheesecake if you don’t eat dairy – you do need plenty of cream cheese after all! I’ve made plenty with soya cream cheese wh…

I’ve realised that although I make multiple versions of this cake every year, I’ve never posted it as a recipe.
Gingerbread Spiced Swirl Buns

Christmas Cupcakes
Is there any time of the year more about decoration and glitz than Christmas? So when everything from houses, trees and Christmas jumpers are adorned with lights, baubles and bells, why not …
Christmas Spiced Mini Shortbread Bites
I love the warm spices of Christmas, the gentle cosy hug of cinnamon, ginger and mixed spice.
Chocolate Sablé Biscuits – best chocolate cookies ever.
Sometimes there is nothing like a chocolate cookie, it can be the ultimate sweet treat, but so often they’re not quite right, more average than awesome.
Triple Chocolate Swirl Buns
I love making sweet swirled buns, there’s something magical about using a yeasted dough and making the swirls, then watching them come’ alive’ in the oven.
Maple glazed spiced doughnuts
I love getting requests and this week I was asked for doughnuts, which gave me the perfect opportunity to get all experimental with flavours and designs – bliss! I’ve had a reall…
