If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’m all about a weekend breakfast or brunch, featuring eggs, pancakes, waffles – you name it! I’ve always found it more difficult to come up with weekday breakfasts which I…
Sausage Pasta Bake with Garlic Bread
January means something different for anyone. For some it means fresh starts, healthy eating and new resolutions. For others it means comfort food, warm clothing and a lot of time spent on the sofa – I’m definitely the latter this…
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!…

Lemon Meringue Cupcakes
During the past couple of the weeks, when we’ve seen a little more rain and clouds than we are used to, I decided to make the most of the time away from work and bake! I’ve been trying lots of…
Red Velvet Cupcakes with a Cream Cheese Frosting
Last week I made these Red Velvet Cupcakes and they came out so much better than I’d anticipated. It was the first time baking with buttermilk (I made my own using lactose-free milk and lemon juice) and it gave a…
Gluten Free Celebration Drip Cake
I’m often known for having a birthday week, or even a birthday month if I can get away with it, as it’s always fun to celebrate! This year has been a particulaly strange birthday, socially distanced from family and friends,…
Gluten Free Scones
Happy bank holiday! It’s VE day today (and also David Attenborough’s birthday) so I thought I’d share my scone recipe to bake for the occasion. Perfect with jam and clotted cream straight out of the oven with a cup of…
