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 butter and…
Dessert
Instant Orange Cheesecakes
Instant Orange Cheesecakes, an emergency dessert that can be made within minutes with just 4 ingredients and no compromise on taste. 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…
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) is not actually a cake but a traditional Danish dessert comprising layers of stewed apples, caramelised toasted oats, and finished off with whipped cream. This is my mum’s version and she always tops it with a delicious grating of dark chocolate! So it’s officially Autumn and my mind automatically turns to…

Specunana Chocolate Brownies (Speculoos, Banana & Chocolate Brownies)
Specunana Chocolate Brownies are made with Speculoos (Lotus Biscoff spread), banana, melted dark chocolate and white chocolate chunks. An utterly yummy teatime treat! A while ago I bought some Biscoff Lotus Biscuit Spread which on the continent is known as Speculoos. I’d seen much hype about this product on twitter so my curiosity got the…
Rhubarb Compote with Vanilla Greek Yogurt & Meringue
It’s rhubarb season and after making the recipes that I posted last year and a failed attempt to make a crumble with cinnamon which got rather drowned in the stuff I decided it was time to strip everything right back. Step up Rhubarb Compote with Vanilla Greek Yogurt & Meringue! Hubby and I love rhubarb…
Blueberry & Banana Pancakes (American Style) + Oxo Good Grips Review
Today I’m sharing Blueberry and Banana Pancakes (American Style). As a blogger for Oxo I am privileged to receive products which often push me to make things that I haven’t ever thought to make before. So when I received a kit for making pancakes (items actually sold separately) I wanted to do something a little…
Yorkshire Puddings with Ice Cream & Golden Syrup
Yorkshire Pudding with Ice Cream & Golden Syrup Since 2008 the first Sunday of every February has been designated British Yorkshire Pudding Day and this year falls on 3 February. I have to admit that I mainly make Yorkshire Pudding batter for my Toad in the Hole recipe and tend to chicken out of making…
