I couldn’t share my recipe for blueberry crumble slices and not follow it up with a rhubarb one. These slices are buttery and tart, sweet and crumbly, with a crunchy top. Made with freshly picked rhubarb they are comforting, homely bars, perfect as a warm dessert....
Who loves the crumble on a crumble more than the fruit underneath? Well these are the slices for you! Buttery crumb with a juicy layer of blueberry, dished up warm with a dollop of crème fraîche, delish! Very easy to make too, and any slices you have...
Blueberry and Lime Macarons I took up the reigns again this week to try to master this most bothersome of bakes. Over the past couple of years I have tried, mostly rather unsuccessfully to make French macarons. Every so often I become inspired, bake a...
Triple Chocolate Marshmallow Sandwich Cookies, ok so the name is a bit of a mouthful but then so are these unbelievable cookies. The cookies alone are perfection itself, cocoa-y and chewy with hunks of milk and white chocolate. I just couldn’t leave it there though....
A soft peanut butter base topped with thick chocolate, bite-sized bliss. These are just so easy yet so moorish and satisfying. The more elaborate peanut butter cups have the filling completely encased in chocolate. I took the quick and easy route, just two layers, they’re...
If you have a surplus of chocolate or a chocolate cookie desire, these are the cookies for you. They are my favourite type of cookie, crispy around the edges and wonderfully soft and chewy inside. The chunky chocolate stays oozy for a good while after...
I wish these photographs truly showed off these divine little morsels better. Alas, very overcast, snow filled skies and a lack of lovely quirky props means the pictures aren’t exactly glamorous. These tasty madeleines are really something special, soft almond sponges filled with home-made blueberry...
Oat and Sultana Cookies I have to start this post by declaring that these are the most delicious cookies I have ever baked. Phew, that’s it out there! No, seriously, it has taken rather a few batches to perfect but I’m so happy with this...
Shortbread, the king of biscuits as far as I’m concerned. Just four simple ingredients: butter, sugar, flour, salt, its beauty is in its simplicity. Shortbread is a celebration of butter and a most Scottish of bakes, I’m pretty sure its Scotland’s biggest food export. I...
Bite into these moist almond madeleines and they will burst with sharp lemon curd, hidden within. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. It has been a while since I made madeleines, well since Paris in July really! I wanted to take some cakey...
I thought I’d follow one of my most lusted after posts, {gluten-free} Black Forest Brownies, with a sister recipe! A Blondie, made with crunchy peanut butter and white chocolate for an incredibly moist and fudgy bar. This baby is also deliciously gluten-free as it uses ground...
Here is something a bit decadent for a cold January day! It was entirely inspired from a visit to a farmers market in Knaresborough at the weekend. We were visiting friends and took a Sunday morning stroll, through the snow, into town to hunt for...
Caramel Shortbread, or Millionaires Shortbread as it is also known, is one of the tastiest, moreish and naughtiest of bars. It never fails to be popular with it’s buttery shortbread base, thick caramel layer and chocolate coating. I mean, you can just see the calories!...
All this wandering around winter wonderland makes one peckish! I wanted to bake something that would nourish, satisfy and be, most importantly, portable and easy to eat with gloves on. I raided the cupboard and found oats, first thought was flapjack. A couple of bananas...
Raspberry Coconut Ice I’ve been meaning to create this recipe for a while, it’s very easy and very tasty! There is no baking or heating involved and the recipe only contains four ingredients yet these are sure to impress and would make a wonderful homemade...
These delicious coconut macaroons are terrifically easy to make, a bit of a one bowl wonder! It took a few batches to get it right but I’m thrilled with these. Normally this type of macaroon is made with egg whites but I wanted an equally...
