It was my daughter’s 13th birthday last Sunday and she knows what she likes when it comes to cakes and sweet treats, so this year she decided she’d like me to bake some Oreo Brownies for the occasion! It was lucky that I’d decided to bake them on the Saturday morning because later that day…

Tropical Smoothie Bowl
Having only recently made my first smoothie I decided it was time to bite the bullet and make a smoothie bowl. So today I made this Tropical Smoothie Bowl which totally perplexed my hubby who asked what on earth it was (obviously doesn’t read food blogs which are awash with them)! With a mango as…
Rhubarb & Blueberry Tarte Tatin
So yesterday I found myself with some rhubarb I’d bought reduced and had a great idea to make sorbet, until I realised that my ice cream maker base wasn’t in the freezer so that idea went out the window. Then I thought about making a rhubarb cake but I have a couple of really good…

Peach, Tea and White Chocolate Traybake
Just like the Jack Buchanan song, “Everything stops for tea” in our house, several times a day in fact. I think tea drinking is a very British thing and we are conditioned from childhood to be tea drinkers, who hasn’t sung “I’m a little teaport” at nursery school? Then there are songs like “Two for…
