My new landlady/housemate Kim asked me if I could make her some earl grey hot cross buns for Easter and as if by magic the March edition of Waitrose Kitchen magazine had these beauties by Izy Hossack of Top with Cinnamon fame so I gave them a whirl. Travelling down to Cornwall for Easter IContinue reading “Earl Grey & Orange Hot Cross Buns”

Lemon Drizzle Cake
Spring is finally in the air despite the recent cold snap and lemon drizzle cake seems awfully springlike to me. I’m not really sure why but there is something about its zesty punch that just makes me think of spring. This lemon cake packs an extra lemony tang so if you prefer yours less punchyContinue reading “Lemon Drizzle Cake”
Rocky Road
I’m sure a psychologist would have a lot to say about Rocky Road being the recipe of choice post move. I had high hopes of stock piling recipe posts so that I could seamlessly blog away this past month despite the near breakdowns, running out of bubble wrap, learning to disconnect fridge freezers from junctionContinue reading “Rocky Road”
Baked Churros with Chocolate Sauce
I recently found this recipe for baked churros on a blog I follow What Jessica Baked Next and thought it wouldn’t hurt to try a healthier baked rather than fried version of the Spanish classic doughnuts. Although they were quite nice they were not entirely churros like and being hollow, reminded me a lot ofContinue reading “Baked Churros with Chocolate Sauce”
Cinnamon Buns
Posting has become sporadic way before I thought it might and despite my best laid plans to stock pile some new entries ahead of my impending move it’s all gone awry. I don’t move well and am even less of a fan of packing/unpacking. This last weekend I could have got a gold medal forContinue reading “Cinnamon Buns”
Apple & Mincemeat Crumble
Yesterday I did a big roast chicken dinner and what better to follow a roast on a cold January evening than apple crumble with a hint of Christmas. To my usual apple crumble I added around 200g of mincemeat that I had languishing in the fridge and it made a very nice addition.
Parmesan, Chilli and Rosemary Biscuits
Due to poor planning on my part these Parmesan, chilli and rosemary biscuits from Jo Wheatley’s fabulous book Home Baking don’t look like a show stopping Christmas post to end 2014 on but they are certainly very moorish and would make an excellent addition to the Christmas buffet table or as part of a hamper.Continue reading “Parmesan, Chilli and Rosemary Biscuits”
Chocolate & Clementine Mini Christmas Pud Cakes
These Chocolate & Clementine Mini Pud cakes were a big hit on the market stall at this time of year mainly because they look so cute but the also taste great too. Clementine puree makes these chocolate cakes moist and not too sweet.
Vegan Christmas Cake
I always bake my friends Jo and Teppo a Christmas cake each year but last year they adopted a vegan diet so my challenge was to find a good vegan Christmas cake recipe so that they could still enjoy a festive treat. I came across this blog post by The Hungry Veggie and the recipeContinue reading “Vegan Christmas Cake”
Lemon Curd Slices
After a busy few weeks which included swapping my usual food subjects for rock legends after getting my first press pit photo pass, I gladly accepted this baking request from my workmates. Although I never tried one, Eat used to sell a similar lemon curd slice and my workmates were missing them so asked meContinue reading “Lemon Curd Slices”
