Melt and Mix Chocolate Coconut Slice
I rarely use a recipe that relies on cocoa, because you’ll never achieve that rich chocolate flavour that comes from melting down a block of Cadbury’s. But this recipe gets a thumbs-up in the flavour department, in spite of the lack of real chocolate. It’s […]
The Only Chocolate Brownie Recipe You’ll Ever Need
I stand by my outrageous claim that this is the best brownie recipe. Ever. It’s moist, rich and fudgy and delicious hot or cold and satisfyingly chocolatey. It’s easy to make too. There’s no double-baking and not even a pinch of cocoa or coffee granules […]
Golden Syrup Cake
This is hot off the press this one. I made this cake last week and it’s already gone down in the family annals as legendary. I had bought a huge tin of Tate & Lyle’s Golden Syrup for one reason or another, probably just because […]
Mac n’ Cheese n’ Crab
There are certain meals that don’t belong on a Sunday night. They can’t be too trashy or too healthy, and they have to have a certain excitement; one last hurrah for the weekend that was. AT has taken up dinner duty on Sundays and it’s […]
Crumbly Christmas Shortbread
There’s lots of recipes for shortbread out there and I reckon I’ve probably tried them all. But after many failures, including tasteless, over-cooked, over-worked, dry biscuits, I have finally found the perfect recipe for shortbread. The sort of shortbread that tastes buttery, but isn’t too […]
Christmas Crumble
You can make this mince pie crumble as an alternative to the stalwart pies if you haven’t got your pastry funk on or maybe if you didn’t have any in the fridge and simply must use up the jar of mince meat that you bought […]
La Belle Assiette; Reading
When it comes to research, my curiosity knows no bounds especially when it comes to food. So, when private chef agency La Belle Assiette asked if I’d like to review their services of course, I said yes. But I was a bit anxious about it […]
Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Frosting
It felt like autumn suddenly happened last weekend; the weather, the light, the leaves and that certain something in the air… This is one of my favourite times of year to be sure. I’m guessing pumpkins ripen around this time, which is why they became […]
Satay Chicken Pizza
Pizza has the potential to be incredibly divisive. There’s the pineapple situation. There’s the question of whether you put your cheese underneath or over the toppings. And of course there’s fusion pizza. It seems I’m a bit of a bandit for messing about with my […]
Apple Cinnamon Loaf
I’ve had this recipe pinned to my kitchen cork board for weeks, waiting for appropriate weather for a cinnamon apple loaf. I got sick of waiting. So I grabbed a couple of apples from the fruit bowl and got busy. Seeing as the ingredients are […]
