Now that the sun is making more regular appearances, I thought it was time to start some spring baking. One of my favourite spring flavours, now that all of the Easter chocolate bakes are out of the way, is lemon….
Mini Egg Blondies
Easter is really early this year, it’s going to come around so quickly! It’s now less than three weeks until Good Friday, and now that I’m back at work, there’s limited time to bake and enjoy all of the delicious,…
Gluten Free Yorkshire Puddings
Sundays are all about roast dinners for many of us in the UK, and of course, what would a roast dinner be without all the trimmings! Traditionally, Yorkshire puddings are served with beef, however I think they go with most…
Chocolate Caramel Shortbread
I used to love making chocolate caramel shortbread when I was younger, although back then I called it a twix bar! A delicious combination of buttery shortbread, gooey, sweet caramel with a thin layer of chocolate on top. So I’m…

Crisp & Fluffy Roast Potatoes
It’s almost New Year! Despite all the negativity in 2020, it’s still been a lovely Christmas, with all the usual festivities including Christmas dinner, a glass of fizz (or two…), exchanging gifts and lots of games, even if they ended…
Salted Caramel Chocolate Brownies
I never used to like brownies, but as I’ve got older (and started teaching!), it’s become another way of enjoying chocolate in my diet. Especially warmed up with ice cream. Is here a better dessert? I’m not sure there is!…
Christmas Pudding Bites
It’s almost Christmas, and I think this year many people are looking forward to it more than ever. I know that I am. The opportunity to spend time with a few family members is so appreciated after a long, challenging…
