Pimm’s No.1 & Lemonade – my take on a classic!
In association with thebar.com I don’t think a summer has gone by without Pimm’s No.1 & Lemonade being enjoyed here. It’s just terribly British and compliments summer gatherings and BBQs perfectly. So when thebar.com asked if I’d like to come up with my own spin on a classic cocktail it simply had to be Pimm’s…
Boozy Decadent Hot Chocolate – pure indulgence!
Boozy Decadent Hot Chocolate Today I’m bringing you Boozy Decadent Hot Chocolate. I know it’s supposed to be spring but right now it feels more like winter in our house and it’s not unusual for there to be the odd flurry of snow in April! So if you’re feeling the chill like me then this…
Black Forest & Banana Smoothie

Old Fashioned Lemonade – refreshingly simple!

Nothing says “I love you” more than making the effort to create something special. So if your loved one is driving over or is teetotal then I…

Cheat’s Iced Salted Caramel Mocha
Today I’m sharing my daughter’s Cheat’s Iced Salted Caramel Mocha! I don’t know how my daughter developed a taste for coffee but it started with her wanting it added to chocolate ganache when we were baking a few years ago. More recently, after a few supermarket purchases of chilled coffee drinks and a trip…
Banana & Cacao Milkshake
Today I’m sharing Banana & Cacao Milkshake. Having felt completely run down with chronic hay fever lately (I think this is the worst year I can remember) my get up and go has been somewhat flagging. So yesterday I looked around the kitchen for something to pick me up and spotted a bag of organic…
