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…
Strawberry & Vanilla Ice Milk
You’re probably scratching your head thinking Strawberry & Vanilla Ice Milk, what’s this? Well it’s a kind of cross between ice cream and sorbet. It has a harder consistency than sorbet and is a bit flakier than ice cream but the wonderful thing about this dessert is that it’s incredibly low in fat as there…
