Vanilla Buttermilk Waffles

January 4, 2016

Vanilla Buttermilk Waffles

Happy New Year! Can you tell there’s no January detoxing going on here?? We actually ate these vanilla buttermilk waffles on the last day of 2015 but I plan on making them again asap! Last March Ricky got me  a waffle iron for my birthday. Who wants jewellery when you can have crispy, fluffy waffles at your fingertips every. single. day. Erm, just me?? Anyway, Read Post

Christmas baking is one of my absolute favourite things about the festive season. Things can get a little crazy around this time of year though, and sometimes you just Read Post

Cinnamon Sponge Cake + Brown Butter Frosting

October 29, 2015

Cinnamon Sponge Cake + Brown Butter Frosting

The making of this cinnamon sponge cake has taught me several things: 1. Brown butter frosting is pretty much the best thing ever 2. Autumnal flavours make for amazing cakes 3. Trying to smooth frosting over a cake with no gaps is virtually impossible and has confirmed that bake off is most definitely not in my future! This bake was initially going to be a Read Post

Kale Cauliflower Cheese

September 15, 2015

Kale Cauliflower Cheese

Today in “how to make a superfood super unhealthy”: smother it in cheese! Heh, I’m joking, I’m joking. This kale cauliflower cheese is actually one of my favourite healthier alternatives to mac n cheese. It’s got all the cheesy indulgence of the classic but with more veg & less stodge. Meaning there’s plenty room left over for dessert 😉 This recipe is one that I made Read Post

Cherry Amaretto Ice Cream

August 27, 2015

Cherry Amaretto Ice Cream

Hey there, it’s been a while eh? The past few weeks I’ve had an unintended break from blogging which has actually been kinda great. Don’t get me wrong, I love this little space but I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself and it can all get a bit intense sometimes. Spending less time on social media and more time catching up with friends has done me Read Post

Tirokafteri – Spicy Feta Dip

Hello! Today I’m sharing a recipe from slightly further afield as part of the Jet2 Holidays Country Cuisine Challenge. The aim is to get creative with a recipe inspired by a popular holiday destination.

Homemade Roasted Garlic Butter

July 27, 2015

Homemade Roasted Garlic Butter

Have I ever told you how much I love garlic? It’s basically my favourite flavour in the entire world – I add it to about 90% of the meals I cook. Not even an exaggeration, folks! This roasted garlic butter is basically all my garlicky dreams come true! If you’ve never roasted garlic before, you’re in for a treat. Drizzled in olive oil and popped in Read Post

Mini Coconut Lime Loaves

July 20, 2015

Mini Coconut Lime Loaves

Oh little cake loaves, you are my favourite. Since making mini gingerbread loaves a few months ago I’ve been on a mission to make miniature everything. Usually when baking I’m all about super indulgent, sticky sweet stuff – think chocolate, caramel & peanut butter. These mini coconut lime loaves, on the other hand, are full of tropical summery flavours. Ya know, so you can at least pretend we’re Read Post

Caramelised Red Onion Chutney

Caramelised Red Onion Chutney

Today’s post is brought to you by streaming eyes and a vow never to chop 15 onions in one go ever again! I hate to say it but I was almost defeated by this caramelised red onion chutney! The inspiration for this recipe comes from Barber’s 1833, who kindly sent me some of their vintage reserve mature cheddar cheese to try. If you’re a regular reader you’ll Read Post
