Barmbrack

Halloween traditions, we’ve all got some, even if it’s just to turn all of the light off & pretend to not be home for the night (I’m looking at you mam)! I love learning all of the different quirks & traditions that each of us have for the various celebrations throughout the year. I think …

Chai Spice Cake

Nothing excites me more at this time of year than the first return into the pantry, or more importantly, the spice rack!

Pear Tarte Tatin

Whilst it may not officially be autumn just yet here in Wales, it would seem that nobody told the weather. There’s a shift in the air & things are getting ever so slightly chillier & darker (I’m having mixed feelings about this). Recent storms have only added to the state of affairs, leaving us curled …
