Rocket & Basil Pesto

September 14, 2014

Rocket & Basil Pesto

With all the Great Blogger Bake Off fun that’s been going on here lately you’d be forgiven for thinking that I spend my life eating cakes and pastries, but believe it or not I’m just as big a fan of savoury cooking too. This rocket and basil pesto has been a kitchen staple recently – it’s so quick and easy to put together and can Read Post

Sacher Torte

September 10, 2014

Sacher Torte

I have to be honest, when I saw that this week’s theme was ‘European Cakes’ I did have a bit of a mind blank. I mean, I’ve eaten plenty of cake whilst in European countries, but I couldn’t think of anything that was actually of distinct European origin. So, I took to Google, where this Austrian delight caught my eye above all the other European Read Post

Rhubarb & Ginger Hand Pies

September 3, 2014

Rhubarb & Ginger Hand Pies

I have to admit, I was a little nervous when I saw that this weeks GBBO theme was pastry, but after deciding just to go for shop bought pastry (Paul Hollywood would be horrified) I got rather excited about it. I settled on rhubarb and ginger hand pies within minutes. My gran is pretty much the queen of rhubarb crumble and it’s almost always the highlight Read Post

Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce

August 25, 2014

Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce

Salted caramel seems to be everywhere you look these days, and I’m certainly not complaining about it! If you’re into the ever-so-slightly muted sweetness which means you can handle a second dessert, this homemade salted caramel sauce is for you! You’re going to love how simple this is, too! (Err, that’s if you’re the kind of person who gets excited about salted caramel recipes which, Read Post

Sundried Tomato Soda Bread

August 20, 2014

Sundried Tomato Soda Bread

As a little girl I spent a lot of my summer holidays across the road at my neighbours house and it was her who first introduced me to soda bread. Being allowed to bake anything felt like such a treat when I was wee and I have such fond memories of shaping the dough and waiting impatiently by the oven as the aroma of freshly Read Post

Ginger Nut Biscuits

August 13, 2014

Ginger Nut Biscuits

I was quite excited when I heard this week’s theme is biscuits as I’ve been meaning to try making ginger nuts for ages. These ones are pretty heavy on the ginger, exactly how I like them! I was pretty chuffed with myself to find they even do ‘snap’ – oh Paul Hollywood would be proud… Don’t forget to check out #TheGreatBloggerBakeOff hashtag on twitter and Read Post

Homemade Cloudy Lemonade

August 10, 2014

Homemade Cloudy Lemonade

It feels a bit odd to be posting such a summery recipe on a day where the weather is currently doing what’s locally know as “pishin’ it doon”, but rain or no rain it is still technically summer so I’ll continue eating ice lollies and wearing sandals for the time being! I’ve never been a big fan of standard shop-bought lemonade – I always find Read Post

Coffee & Walnut Cake

Coffee & Walnut Cake

I’m practically drooling just typing this post up! This is the first post in a series for ‘The Great Blogger Bake Off’ – the brainchild of Shannon. The idea is that each Wednesday myself and lots of other bloggers will post a bake in line with the weeks Great British Bake Off theme, and of course share each other’s posts. You can keep up with everybody’s Read Post

Avocado Feta Dip

July 16, 2014

Avocado Feta Dip

This recipe is inspired by a girly holiday in Zante several years ago (you know the kind!). Each morning we headed down to the beach to chill out, hope for a tan and attempt to rid ourselves of the inevitable hangovers. It was on one of these days that we discovered the absolute joy that is avocado feta dip served at one of the seafront Read Post

Cherry Bakewell Slice

July 5, 2014

Cherry Bakewell Slice

  I think I can safely say this cherry bakewell slice is one of the finest things to ever have been created in my kitchen. Buttery pastry covered in sticky fruity jam and moist almond cake, all topped with sugary sweet icing and – of course – a cherry on top!  It’s not often something non-chocolate makes it’s way to the top of my favourite Read Post
