The idea for these Cheat’s Stollen Croissants came to me in flash of inspiration the other day. I love Stollen and I love croissants so why not combine the 2 flavours into one I thought!

Today I bring you Cheat’s Mince Pies with a Secret Twist! I haven’t made mince pies for about 25 years, gasp!

Every Christmas since my twenties I have been baking these Crispy Clementine Cookies which I adapted from an orange based recipe in my mother’s old 1970 cookbook called Super Scoff.

Chocolate & Pistachio Mousse At Christmas time (or whenever you are entertaining) you want as little stress and fuss in the kitchen as possible. With this in mind, a great dessert is one you can prepare ahead and just pull out of the fridge, in its own serving dish and place on the table. I remember …

I have a confession, I am addicted to marzipan as well as chocolate! So when I was asked to come up with an idea for an edible gift for Christmas that a child could help with, my mind immediately turned to marzipan. As a child I would make marzipan balls dipped in chocolate with my …

My last dalliance with fudge was over a year ago and was a resounding flop. I didn’t own a digital thermometer back then so when I boiled my fudge to the “soft ball” stage I was testing by hand and obviously got it completely wrong so the resulting fudge never set and was more like …
