I hadn’t intended to blog this but Nigella’s no-churn salted caramel and bourbon ice cream got such a rapturous reception at my bbq last week my guests made me promise to post it. This now gives away what little effort went into the dessert but we could all do with more simple recipes that impressContinue reading “No-Churn Salted Caramel & Bourbon Ice Cream”

Lemon & Mint Iced Tea
Both of my holidays this year have heavily featured iced tea and the current UK heatwave has inspired me to make my own as the shop bought ones are so sugar laden. This is a cold brew method which just needs steeping in the fridge overnight or during the day while you are at work.Continue reading “Lemon & Mint Iced Tea”
Mojito Ice Cream
Inspired by Nigella’s No Churn Margarita Ice Cream I set about making a rum based alternative as tequila seems to affect me much as I imagine drinking drain cleaner would. For this mojito ice cream, I reduced the amount of cream to 300ml and made it up to 500ml with 200ml whole milk to makeContinue reading “Mojito Ice Cream”
Grilled Peaches with Greek Yogurt and Honey
Thanks to the wonders of scheduled posts, I am currently hopefully sunning myself in Galician Spain. So I thought I would leave you with something I knocked up after raiding the fridge and cupboards to make the most of the delicious Spanish doughnut peaches I bought shortly before my trip with a little influence fromContinue reading “Grilled Peaches with Greek Yogurt and Honey”
Hazelnut Shortbread with Nectarines
Long time followers will know I am in my element at the moment as it’s nectarine season. I also love nutty shortbread…. and cream….. and although I have been making this hazelnut shortbread for years, I had never followed the recipe suggestion of serving them sandwiched with cream and sliced nectarine. This recipe was tornContinue reading “Hazelnut Shortbread with Nectarines”
Quick & Dirty No Rise Pizza Base
Sometimes you just need pizza. I was craving home made pizza on my return from Cyprus and my housemate has had a few pizza dinners during the World Cup, the smell of which have only stoked that fire. One evening I just couldn’t wait an hour for the dough to prove so googled a noContinue reading “Quick & Dirty No Rise Pizza Base”
Cinnamon Pancakes with Nut Butter and Summer Fruits
I love the fruits of summer and always try to eat as many as possible during their short season. I had grown bored of my usual breakfast of Greek yogurt, berries and granola so this recipe really caught my eye in this months BBC Good Food magazine. The original recipe suggested banana and raspberry toContinue reading “Cinnamon Pancakes with Nut Butter and Summer Fruits”
Mini Coffee & Walnut Cakes
Lakeland recently had a sale on their bakeware and after what feels like years of lusting after their mini sandwich tin I could finally justify the purchase with 40% off its usual price. As my workmate was leaving last week I had to christen the tins with her favourite coffee and walnut cake! As itContinue reading “Mini Coffee & Walnut Cakes”
Rosemary Spatchcock Chicken
Apologies for my tardiness recently. Since my holiday I have come back to real life with a bump and I’m finding it hard getting back into the groove of things. I seem to be having a crisis of confidence in blogland, my brain doesn’t seem to be able to think ahead or think creatively at theContinue reading “Rosemary Spatchcock Chicken”
Mini Lime Meringue Pies
This post was born out of the need to use up a lot of eggs before I go away so you may curse my frivolous use of whole eggs in the lime curd and the subsequent redundant yolks from the meringue. You could of course use another curd recipe that used yolks only but theseContinue reading “Mini Lime Meringue Pies”
