Specunana Chocolate Brownies 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 better of me and I bought some. We’re big fans of Lotus Biscuits in this house. I have many fond…

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 and…
Pear, Chocolate and Ginger Crumble
Pear, Chocolate and Ginger Crumble Before Christmas I was tempted by all the buy 3 for 2 offers in the baking aisle and decided that crystallised ginger and bags of various nuts were an absolute must have. So I have to confess that all the nutty, gingery biscuits I had in my head became pipe…
Blueberry & Banana Pancakes (American Style) + Oxo Good Grips Review
Blueberry & 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 different and inspiration…
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.

Apple Meringue
Apple Meringue Last night I wanted to use up some egg whites I had leftover from my weekend dalliance into ice cream making. I also remembered I had some Bramley apples in the fridge and therefore the obvious solution was Apple Meringue. It’s such a quick and easy pudding that I first made it a…
Strawberry Choux Buns
This recipe is one that I have re-created from a one-off childhood memory of some beautiful, heavenly Strawberry Choux Buns. My mother made them for my grandmother’s coffee morning when we were staying with my grandparents one summer in Denmark. There was no actual recipe, she just put them together from her own inspiration. To…
Treacle Tart – “How to Feed Your Family for £5 a Day” by Bernadine Lawrence

Rhubarb and Strawberry Grunt
Britain is awash with strawberries and rhubarb and there’s no better past time than picking your own strawberries at this time of year. Well in theory at least, if we could find a dry day when we weren’t either being buffeted by wind or being flooded! I thought that these two fruits would be ideal…
