One of my Christmas presents was Dan Lepard‘s new book Short and Sweet. I’m a huge fan of his thanks to his column in the Guardian – his recipes never seem to go wrong. I’ve made these toll house yo-yos before and I have mucked around with the recipe a bit – mainly because the [...]

Chocolate Brownies

I’m a keen user of delicious, which is a fantastic electronic way of keeping together all those things that in real life I’d have on bits of paper floating around the house (and driving Andy up the wall).

Here we’re gearing up for the baby’s first birthday which means thinking a LOT about the catering for his afternoon tea party. As the baby will be unaware of the significance of the event, and most likely a bit annoyed that strange people have turned up in numbers to interrupt his afternoon play, the party [...]

Asparagus and Bacon Tart

October 24, 2011 Recipes

This is a quick midweek supper: supplement it with a salad and make sure you don’t eat it all as it’s delicious cold for lunch the next day!

Lemon Polenta Cake

August 9, 2011 Recipes

Last week I was asked about how many of my recipes I make up and I realised it’s been a while since I’ve done any of my own ‘recipe development’. On Sunday I was going to make a lemon and olive oil cake. As Andy headed off to the shops he asked if I needed [...]

Apple Cake

July 28, 2011 Recipes

We have an apple tree. Last year we didn’t see a single apple – not sure if it was the lack of rain or the local wildlife. In fact, we didn’t even KNOW it was an apple tree. This year, the planets lined up and, about a week ago, I picked our small harvest. Some [...]

Naan Bread

June 24, 2011 Recipes

This is my go-to naan bread recipe that I use whenever I need a flatbread.  It doesn’t have to go with a curry and they’re quick enough to put together for any mid-week meal.  This recipe comes from The Big Book of Bread which I won a few years ago through the excellent Baking Mad [...]

Coffee Poppy Seed Cake

June 3, 2011 Recipes

You know how sometimes a coffee cake doesn’t have any coffee in it? It’s actually a cake to eat with coffee and the whole thing turns in to a disappointing experience? Well, this is not that cake.
