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
Black Forest & Banana Smoothie My first recipe of the year is for a Black Forest & Banana Smoothie. I finally unpacked my birthday present from last month which was one of those bullet style smoothie makers which I found in a Black Friday sale. So after a forage into the freezer and finding a…
Old Fashioned Lemonade – refreshingly simple!
Well it was the hottest day of the year yesterday and so I thought it was high time that I made this Old Fashioned Lemonade that I first made at school. The recipe has been in my Home Economics index box along with all my other school recipes for decades and I had never revisited…
5-a-Day Fruit Smoothie
5-a-Day Fruit Smoothie Today I’m bringing you a 5-a-Day Fruit Smoothie which came about after a great start to the day!

Non Alcoholic Mojito

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…
Pineapple & Coconut Smoothie
Today I’m bringing you my Pineapple & Coconut Smoothie! Once Christmas is over we all tend to think about getting back to healthier eating and exercise. So it was very timely that JD Sports asked me to come up with a healthy Smoothie recipe to celebrate the launch of their new Pink Soda Sport brand for…
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 to Starbucks in the summer where she had a Caramel Macchiato…
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 Cacao Powder I’d been sent. I have…
