I realise it’s pretty basic to say love salted caramel, but it really is the cat’s pyjamas… Last weekend, I made my own salted caramel – you know, just to have – and thought I’d best put it to use pronto to avoid actually eating it from the saucepan with a spoon. Enter my double […]

This is the BEST chocolate cake you will ever eat. I’ve made it approximately 10 times, and not once have I been able to snap a picture of the whole thing before someone snaffled a slice. It looks the part and it bloody well tastes it too. It’s SUPER chocolate-y, not just a bit chocolate […]

For all I know chocolate bark has had its day, but after seeing some rather sickly-looking ‘unicorn’ bark, I thought I’d give my own, more grown-up (see: decadent and chocolate-y) version a go. And since Christmas is a comin’, I topped it with gold sugar stars and dubbed it ‘festive’. Well, it clearly wasn’t unicorns […]

I don’t eat a lot of pancakes. Unless I’m in America, in which case I’ll take a stack every morning with a vat of maple syrup and bacon or it’s Pancake Day in the UK, where Alex and I will competitively eat homemade pancakes, both sweet and savoury, until one of us is near toilet-hugging […]

Oreo milkshake!

June 16, 2014.Reading time 1 minute.

Going to Shakeaway for an Oreo milkshake was the highlight of my Saturday afternoons as a kid and a tradition that never really stopped! Well, occasionally I’ll mix things up and go for Daim or Creme Egg.. If you’ve got a blender (seriously, you can get one from Tesco for under a tenner and it’ll […]

Banana and raspberry muffins

March 28, 2014.Reading time 3 minutes.

The moister the better when it comes to my muffins. Now, now… I can’t stand (see: will eat at a slightly reduced rate), crisp or thick cakes or muffins. My banana and raspberry muffins are light and fluffy and a tad on the zingy side. They even taste a bit healthy and there’s not too much […]
