With summer well and truly here refreshment is on everyone’s mind and hot comforting puddings are put on the back burner. One of our favourite summer desserts is “ice milk” as it is has all the taste of a premium ice cream but barely any of the fat or hefty calories of its cousin; it…

Victoria Sandwich
Today I’m sharing my Victoria Sandwich – a classic British cake sandwiched with my homemade strawberry jam and clotted cream. It’s also known as a Victoria Sponge Cake! Every now and again a surprise package will turn up and the other week a lovely parcel arrived from Rodda’s to celebrate World Baking Day. Shamefully I…
A few favourite recipes to celebrate my 2nd Anniversary!
A few favourite recipes to celebrate my 2nd Anniversary! So Fab Food 4 All is 2 years old today. It’s been a real rollercoaster of a journey. I’ve gone from someone who’d never used social media, not even Facebook, to embracing a whole brace of it. Being a food writer and blogger I’m constantly learning,…
Slow Cooker Double Chocolate Speculoos Puddle Pudding
Slow Cooker Double Chocolate Speculoos Puddle Pudding Well there’s a name that trips off the tongue easily! I could also have mentioned that this pudding is eggless, but I think that would have been a step too far! I used dark and white chocolate but if you wanted to make this pud suitable for a…
Lemon & Raisin Scotch Pancakes
Lemon & Raisin Scotch Pancakes My favourite shop bought pancakes are fluffy Lemon & Raisin Scotch Pancakes so I thought I’d set about making my own for Pancake Day aka Shrove Tuesday. It’s the day before Ash Wednesday which is the 1st day of lent – traditionally a time for fasting and penance in the…
Plum Crumble
Plum Crumble Faced with a punnet of plums that needed using up and not having made a plum crumble for an absolute age I set about making this Plum Crumble taking elements from here and there. I think the reason I don’t make crumble all the time is the thought of the rubbing in the…
Instant Orange Cheesecakes
Instant Orange Cheesecakes Instant Orange Cheesecakes came about the other night when I was yet again posed with the question “what’s for pudding?”. I hadn’t made it to the shops, so after a rummage around the kitchen I concocted this pudding which is one step better than just having a digestive smothered in cream cheese…
Walnut Mocha Torte
I was listening to a lovely radio interview with my favourite food writer, Nigel Slater the other day where he said his favourite cake was Coffee & Walnut. On telling my daughter she said she loved this cake too – I don’t where she’s had it as I have never made it not being a…
Quick Spelt Butternut Squash Cake
Quick Spelt Butternut Squash Cake I often make Butternut Squash Soup and don’t like to tamper with the quantity of ingredients in it, so I found myself with a hunk of spare Butternut the other day and my husband suggested I made a cake with it. I had actually been toying with this idea myself…
Danish Apple Cake (Æblekage)
Danish Apple Cake (Æblekage) So it’s officially Autumn and my mind automatically turns to apples. I was recently lucky enough to be given a couple of carrier bags of Bramleys from a neighbour and also managed to forage some dessert apples from a recent trip out kayaking! So what to make? Well for some time…
