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 Christian calendar. So the idea…
Dessert
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 butter and…
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
Walnut Mocha Torte is for lovers of walnuts, chocolate and coffee. Two walnut cake layers with a texture similar to macaroons (crispy on the outside and gooey in the middle) are sandwiched with freshly whipped cream and topped with a mocha frosting! It’s the perfect gluten-free dessert for entertaining! I was listening to a lovely…
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)

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…
