Raspberry, Almond & White Chocolate Muffins
Raspberry, Almond & White Chocolate Muffins are made with a mixture of flour and ground almonds to make them utterly moist and delicious! It probably hasn’t escaped your notice that it will be Mother’s Day on Sunday 15th March so I thought I would make some muffins that children could bake for or with their…

Creme Egg Chocolate Brownies are made with melted Creme Egg, dark and milk chocolate and then decorated with halved Mini Creme Eggs. Simply the best brownie recipe I’ve ever tasted!

Christmas Soda Bread
Today I’m sharing my Christmas Soda Bread! December is such a busy time and what with my birthday, a wedding, my daughter’s numerous school performances, my son’s various exams and his trip to the Cologne Christmas markets, I’m afraid my Christmas recipe offerings have had to stay as ideas in my head until now. (Note…
10 Bloggers’ Favourite Recipes
I recently thought it would be really interesting to find out from a few bloggers what they cooked most from their own blogs. This was a very tough question indeed! Of course we have many favourites but the recipes we tend to make the most are the quick and easy ones where you barely need…
Nutella Brioche Pudding
Nutella Brioche Pudding is comfort food at its best! Brioche slices are sandwiched together with Nutella and baked in a delicious vanilla custard – be warned, your family will fight over this! Our local supermarket has opened up a new bakery which is not doing that well and I have heard many complaints from customers…
