I would like to claim this salad as my own creation however many moons ago when I first moved to London my German housemate Sandra used to make this salad a lot. I would come along and pick at the left overs with glee and right before I moved out, managed to get her toContinue reading “Halloumi, Carrot and Rocket Salad with Sticky Honey Mustard Glaze”

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Creme Cupcakes
This last week Fork and Pixel turned one so to celebrate, I thought I would share my ‘signature bake’ chocolate and peanut butter creme cupcakes which I usually bake as a big 8″ cake for friends birthdays. The recipe is an amalgamation of a Reece’s chocolate cake recipe that is my favourite chocolate sponge asContinue reading “Chocolate & Peanut Butter Creme Cupcakes”
Carrot and Caraway Dog Biscuits
In a desperate attempt to do some baking without having something irresistible in the house afterwards to scupper my pre holiday healthy eating, I have turned to canine baking! This recipe for carrot and caraway dog biscuits is from River Cottage: Cakes and the biscuits have been well received by my friends dogs. My workmatesContinue reading “Carrot and Caraway Dog Biscuits”
Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies
These are my go to store cupboard cookies and I found the recipe for these Peanut Butter Cookies in Jo Wheatley’s A Passion for Baking. The trick to getting the perfect texture seems to be a swift bang on the worktop half way through the cooking time. These cookies are fabulously crisp and chewy…the holyContinue reading “Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies”
Malteser Blondies
Hoorah! Cake! I hear you cry…..I’ve been missing baking and couldn’t resist these Maltesers Blondies by Jo Wheatley when I saw them in the March edition of Sainsbury’s Magazine. All but two were quickly dispatched to my housemates office and out of temptation. They were definitely better the day after baking as they became moreContinue reading “Malteser Blondies”
Roasted Roots Frittata
I’m still not feeling 100% and the surprise cold spell this week prompted me to cook something comforting and decidedly autumnal so apologies, it’s not entirely in keeping with the season but it’s what I needed this week. I found this oven roasted roots frittata recipe whilst thumbing through my colleagues copy of River CottageContinue reading “Roasted Roots Frittata”
Chunky Bacon, Butterbean and Tomato Soup
Not entirely in keeping with the wonderful weather we had at the weekend but I made this bacon, butterbean and tomato soup last week as part of my money saving/pre wedding/pre holiday regime of not buying lunch out, thus saving cash and knowing what’s actually in my lunch. It was extracted from an ancient issueContinue reading “Chunky Bacon, Butterbean and Tomato Soup”
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Having recently invested in a slow cooker I have been trying out this new way of cooking with various recipes but so far the tastiest and most photogenic thing to come out of it is this amazing slow cooker pulled pork which I found on the Chow website. Its so easy as you just coatContinue reading “Slow Cooker Pulled Pork”
Plaited Spelt Milk Loaf
Regular followers will know bread is not my baking strong point. I decided to give a milk loaf a go as I have consistently failed at spelt sourdough. I found this plaited spelt milk loaf recipe on the Doves Farm website and the reviews were favourable so thought it was worth giving a try. AllContinue reading “Plaited Spelt Milk Loaf”
