Chocolate Hazelnut Torte

July 7, 2015

Chocolate Hazelnut Torte

Is there anything better than gooey, rich chocolate ganache!? The answer is no, nope, no way. I swear it took all my willpower to stop myself eating all the filling for this chocolate hazelnut torte before it was even made. That filling is just the most incredible thing ever. This decadent dessert came about kinda by accident last weekend. It’s ages since I’ve cooked a proper Read Post

Banana Protein Breakfast Bowls

June 29, 2015

Banana Protein Breakfast Bowls

Oh look, another breakfast recipe! These peanut butter + banana protein breakfast bowls are a totally different type of breakfast to my last one (Chorizo Scrambled Eggs) so I reckon it’s allowed. When it comes to breakfast food I don’t discriminate. Sweet, savoury, sweet and savoury – I’ll take them all! I’ve always been a breakfast lover. I swear I can’t function until I’ve got a belly full of Read Post

Blue Cheese Walnut Salad

June 26, 2015

Blue Cheese Walnut Salad

Happy Friday everyone! I’m currently en route to London for a weekend involving Taylor Swift and plenty of Prosecco so, needless to say, I’m in a pretty good mood! Today’s post is a little collaboration with Florette, who I’m sure you’ve all heard of. They offer a range of salads and have recently started selling smaller, single serve bags which is great if you’re the type Read Post

Homemade Naan Bread

June 22, 2015

Homemade Naan Bread

For approximately the past 2 years I’ve been vocalising my intention to attempt homemade naan bread, and every time I’ve decided it sounds hard and dismissed the idea. Well, after yet another mediocre shop bought naan I finally decided enough was enough. Beautifully soft, chewy freshly made naan bread is no longer reserved for takeaways and restaurants, my friends! I’m going to go ahead and assume Read Post

Rhubarb Elderflower Gin Cooler

June 13, 2015

Rhubarb Elderflower Gin Cooler

Happy World Gin Day! For once I’ve actually been organised enough to get a relevant post together for it. Although, admittedly, I did spend most of the car journey to Skye yesterday editing photos so perhaps not all that prepared! On that note, as this post goes live I’ll be preparing to run the Skye Half Marathon so there’ll be a fairly large gin on the cards Read Post

Rhubarb Almond Sponge Cake

June 1, 2015

Rhubarb Almond Sponge Cake

If you follow me on instagram, you might have seen me posting about this rhubarb that I managed to grab from my grandparents garden last weekend. My papa grows all sorts of fruit + veg and it’s amazing to be able to enjoy seasonal produce fresh out the ground! Since this was an unplanned addition to my fridge, I didn’t have any particular recipe planned. Read Post

Gin + Tonic Ice Lollies

May 25, 2015

Gin + Tonic Ice Lollies

We’ve been lucky to have some pretty nice weather this long weekend. Sadly, we don’t have a garden to enjoy it in but that didn’t stop me getting some ice lollies on the go. Gin & tonic ice lollies, to be precise. Because if you can’t drink in the sun, you might as well eat alcoholic ice lollies inside. Or something… A classic G&T is Read Post

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bars

I’m sorry if you’re on a health kick. Truly, I am  – triple chocolate cookies followed by white chocolate raspberry cheesecake bars can’t be helping. But hey, sometimes my life is filled with veggies and sometimes it’s filled with desserts. Lately, it’s been aaall about desserts! I whipped up this no bake cheesecake last week when my parents were visiting for dinner. I hate to Read Post

Triple Chocolate Cookies

May 11, 2015

Triple Chocolate Cookies

Oh hi super indulgent triple chocolate cookies, nice to meet you! With a soft, chewy centre and both white and milk chocolate chips these are super indulgent but so, so worth it. When I first tried baking these last Monday, I almost had a cookie-induced tantrum. One of those times when Ricky has to remind me that my cookies being slightly less than perfect is not, in fact, Read Post

Cherry Bakewell Overnight Oats

April 22, 2015

Cherry Bakewell Overnight Oats

Guys, I’m about to ramble right at ya. About exam stress, technology meltdowns and also the beauty that is cherry bakewell overnight oats. You’ve been warned! Oh man, what a crazy few days it’s been! I’ve been buried deep in notes and calculations for the last couple of weeks so this little space hasn’t had much of a look in. Aaand then the night before my Read Post
