Sourdough Hype

I have always been a huge fan of Sourdough bread. I mean what is there not to love about it?! It tastes delicious and is the perfect addition to a tasty brunch dish. I haven’t dipped my toes into bread baking much; just because it takes a lot of time and focus which up till…

Ultimate Eggtravagant Easter Cake

One of my favourite things about Easter is the amount of baking I get to do for my loved ones. Traditionally, I will use the long weekend to create a whole host of treats including an Easter Showstopper Cake. Unfortunately I won’t be able to create one this year, so I thought I would share…

Mini Egg Brownies

Nowadays, if you don’t have your brownies topped with something or filled then they aren’t considered an exciting brownie. This recipe is a perfect treat for the Easter weekend, and includes one of my favourite types of chocolate, Mini Eggs! Ingredients  135g dark chocolate 120g margarine 210g granulated sugar 85g plain flour 1/2 tsp salt…

Scones with Jam & Clotted Cream

I had planned to take my Mum out for Afternoon Tea for Mother’s Day recently but unfortunately we were not able to. So I brought the Afternoon Tea to her!

Doughnut Delight

I love to bake something special for my husband for his birthday each year and this time, I wanted to do something slightly different. Having had several years where we have demolished a whole cake between us over a couple of days (not that I was complaining!) I thought I would go completely rogue on…

The Beauty of Cupcakes

Sometimes I feel cupcakes are overlooked as a type of cake because they arent as big or magnificent as a layered caked can be. However, they are so easy to bake, to decorate and really you can have them done in an hour or so. This has been perfect when I have wanted to quickly…

Salted Caramel Fudge

Another branch of baking I have dipped into recently in is fudge making. It is actually very quick and simple to make fudge; you just need to have a decent sugar thermometer and a strong arm to beat the mixture! The thing I love about fudge is the crumbly texture that melts in your mouth…

Chinese Dumplings

If I could eat anything savoury, all day, every day it would without a doubt be Chinese Dumplings. I am obsessed with the simplicity of them yet how packed full of flavour you can make them! They have recently become more and more popular and if you are in London, you can get them in…
