Banana Bread

As my poor KitchenAid sits proudly on the kitchen top, gleaming, begging to be used, & at least 3 Amazon deliveries of cookbooks have made their way to cookbook corner, their pages eagerly awaiting a dusting of flour & a splash of batter, alas I have not had the time or energy to commit this …

Citrus Poppy Seed Cake

Why choose just one citrus fruit when you can have them all? Really making the most of citrus season right now & despite the odd hint that spring may be on it’s way, it’s still very much dark & cold outside so I’m still craving some vitamin C. Granted, when it comes in cake form …

Cardamom & Yogurt Cake

I’ll admit, I’m not ready to let go of summer yet, much as I do love autumn & all of its wonderful shades, I’m a summer baby & simply adore the sunshine & the heat (why I live in Wales then, I do not know!). At least though, late summer & early autumn bring a …

Cranberry & Orange Muffins

Cranberries, a winter berry that is traditionally synonymous with Christmas, however this crimson, tart little berry has so much more potential than simply accompanying turkey dinner but once a year. Cranberries have refreshingly sharp, acidic flavour that pairs well with a little bit of sweetness. It’s a flavour that I’m are very fond of, every winter …

Sticky Ginger Cake

Ice & Spice It’s been a chilly weekend here in Wales as the icy disposition of Winter dominates our mornings once again, transforming the landscape into a peaceful, glistening wonderland. Unfortunately this also signals the return of my most loathsome chore, de-icing the cars (ugh). Despite being someone who is affected by the cold more than any person …

Autumn Apple Cake

The season? Autumn. It’s fruit? Apples. Autumn is definitely the time of year when apples truly come into their own. Apple crumbles as the brisk chill of the season sets in, apple bobbing at Halloween, sticky Toffee Apples with firework displays on Bonfire Night, apple chutneys lovingly preserved in preparation for christmas gifting. Without apples …

Earl Grey Scones

The Perfect Partnership It’s that time of year again where television becomes all that more appealing to me, of course it’s the return of The Great British Bake Off. Every year I get instructed by friends & colleagues to apply but alas, another year has passed & my pastry skills still aren’t up to scratch. …

Lemon Tart

Whilst summer may not have officially arrived yet here in the UK , the season is already in full swing in my kitchen, it’s become overrun with lemons, berry jams & elderflower cordial (basically there’s more jam than usual!). I’m sure this happens to most of us at this time of year, something clicks in …

Chelsea Buns

Take me to any bakery, food market or cafe that sells baked goods & you could comfortably bet on me selecting the biggest, glistening bun on offer, be it a teacake, iced buns or Chelsea buns, you’ve got my attention. My love of all things dough began at a very young age, I come from …

Breakfast Muffins

Breakfast, arguably the best meal of the day. That glorious aroma of toast popping, eggs sizzling, croissants baking, all awakening the senses, instantly turning your thoughts to food. Breakfast foods are amongst some of my absolute favourites, regardless of time of day. Everything toasted, buttery & jewelled with jam. Small, sweet treats; breakfast muffins, cakes …
