I can’t remember where I found this Donal Skehan recipe for sea salted caramels but glad I took a screen shot of it on my phone as I can’t find it online now. Donal being Irish, the original recipe calls for Irish sea salt but I love the Cornish sea salt so I used thatContinue reading “Cornish Sea Salted Caramels”

Sugar & Spice Candied Nuts
I saw this Sugar & Spice Candied Nuts recipe on the Smitten Kitchen site last Christmas but I had already made all my gifts/run out of time so I made sure to fit these in this year. They are very quick and easy to make but are very difficult not to keep snacking on. IContinue reading “Sugar & Spice Candied Nuts”
Salted Butterscotch Popcorn Cheesecake
This salted butterscotch popcorn cheesecake from Rosie Birkett’s book A Lot On Her Plate must be the showstopper dessert of 2015. I have long wanted to try the recipe and last week whilst recovering from surgery finally gave it a whirl in a pre Christmas trial run. I will definitely be making this for the Christmas nightContinue reading “Salted Butterscotch Popcorn Cheesecake”
Nectarine & Almond Friands
I feel bad posting these nectarine and almond friands as we have a dairy intolerant houseguest at the moment and she is really struggling to have the willpower to resist. These friands are so light and buttery and looked amazing as I was flicking through an old issue of Waitrose Weekend before relegating it toContinue reading “Nectarine & Almond Friands”
What a week!
Last Wednesday I went along to the private view and awards ceremony for the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year Awards 2015 and just being on the walls of the Mall Galleries in London alongside many of the great food photographers was amazing. I was very pleased to be highly commended for my imageContinue reading “What a week!”
Cheese Straws
I have found it really frustrating being off work and not being able to do much baking but I was really craving cheese straws and had some dried up cheddar in the fridge so thought I would put it to good use by grating it and drying it out a bit further as who likesContinue reading “Cheese Straws”
Pink Lady Food Photography Awards 2015 Public Exhibition

I have a nail biting wait until 6th May to find out where I have been placedContinue reading “Pink Lady Food Photography Awards 2015 Public Exhibition”
Whisky & Ginger Truffles
These whisky and ginger truffles make an excellent homemade Christmas gift and are pretty easy to make, save from covering yourself in melted chocolate as you roll them into balls! I sadly also found out last week that they are extremely comforting after I had to say goodbye to my faithful feline friend Erin. HerContinue reading “Whisky & Ginger Truffles”
It’s starting to smell a lot like Christmas……….. cake….
So yes it’s that time of year again. My fruit had been soaking in booze for a good few days so I took my cue from the wet and grey Sunday afternoon to get baking the first of 6 Christmas cakes. I’m not sure what the blog etiquette is for annual posts but here areContinue reading “It’s starting to smell a lot like Christmas……….. cake….”
Beef Rendang
I’m not going to lie, this curry takes time but is well worth the investment. This was my second curry from scratch and I am very proud of my first foray into Malaysian curries. Rendang is a dry curry, the rich spiced coconut sauce caramelising and getting darker as it cooks so be careful toContinue reading “Beef Rendang”
