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…
Dessert
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…
Specunana Chocolate Brownies (Speculoos, Banana & Chocolate Brownies)
Specunana Chocolate Brownies A while ago I bought some Biscoff Lotus Biscuit Spread which on the continent is known as Speculoos.

Apple & Blueberry Tarte Tatin
Apple & Blueberry Tarte Tatin Today I’m bringing you my Apple & Blueberry Tarte Tatin! The first time I made a Tarte Tatin was a rather laughable affair. I’d seen recipe for a French Onion one in a magazine and decided I had to make it. I forgot that I didn’t really have a suitable…
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…
