Brilliant Banana Muffins
Do you always end up with a couple of over-ripe bananas in the fruit bowl? I don’t know what it is, but no matter how few I buy we always have one or two bananas lingering for longer than they shou…
Passion fruit crème brûlée served with passion fruit jellies
Crème brûlée is always a popular pud, I think it’s because everyone loves the thrill of cracking the thin caramalised sugar topping – a dessert with a bit of theatre is always a winner.
Raspberry Ripple Melting Moments
Raspberry ripple is beyond doubt a real taste of summer and these melting moment cookies will fit perfectly into any Jubilee or summer celebration you might be planning.
Spiced apple galette
This is the perfect last minute pudding for when you have nothing planned or unexpected guests.
Blueberry/Apple Pillows
Fruit really isn’t particularly popular in this household and I definitely struggle with finding fruity puddings that appeal to everyone.
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.
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…

Speedy Homemade Raspberry jam
The bounty from the PYO needed to be used up as fast as possible – it’s funny how real fresh fruit goes off far faster than shop bought varieties… I wonder why?!! In fact, after w…
Plum Streusel Cake
Oh the folly of it! The ripe, reduced plums in the supermarket looked so tempting – it was only when I got them home that it became clear why they were on special offer – over-ripe is s…
Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes
Apparently this week is National Cupcake week – a slightly tenuous reason for a celebration if you ask me, but then again the cake tin was looking all empty and lonely, and any excuse to bake…
Cherry Berry Compote
The remaining punnet of lovely local strawberries was starting to look a bit sorry in the fridge, and there was a big handful of very very ripe cherries.
Apple Galette
It’s October, and Autumn has very much arrived in the UK – it suddenly feels much cooler (I must get those winter clothes out of the loft!), the days are noticeably getting shorter and …
Egg-free Raspberry Pavlova
Here’s the second outing for my winning no egg meringue recipe – this time making one large meringue as the base for a Pavlova (for the lovely Somer, you can still have a Pavlova! :-)).
Apple and Cinnamon Cake
I don’t seem to be making much headway with the piles of apples that need using up.
