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”

Pink Lady Food Photography Awards 2015 Public Exhibition

What better way to celebrate two years of Fork and Pixel than to announce that I am a finalist in this years Pink Lady Food Photography Awards and my image will be on show at the Mall Galleries London next month. 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….”

Steak and Ale Pies

I didn’t get chance to enjoy the dish that inspired this steak and ale pie recipe while I was in Edinburgh this summer so upon my return set about making the next best thing. A few years back I ordered a steak and ale pie made with Edinburgh’s Innis and Gunn beer and it wasContinue reading “Steak and Ale Pies”

Summers Harvest

I shot this over a month ago as I thought the beans were too beautiful to just eat and then didn’t know what to do with the image. These last few weeks have been very busy and stressful with the Olympus photography comp and my birthday celebrations so I’m having a lazy weekend in blogContinue reading “Summers Harvest”

Fig Frangipane Tarts

My favourite bakery in my hometown does an excellent line in fruit frangipane tarts and vary their filing from raspberries, blackberries, peach and pear so thought I would try a variation using fresh figs seeing as they are so beautiful and in abundance right now. Please excuse my use of ready-rolled pastry, you can ofContinue reading “Fig Frangipane Tarts”

Chocolate Macarons

My workmate Selwyn recently wowed everyone in the office with her amazing chocolate macarons; a surprise raspberry hidden in the centre amongst the chocolate ganache. I immediately demanded her recipe and have spent a good few weeks tearing my hair out every time I removed batch upon batch of wrinkly chocolate biscuits from the oven but finallyContinue reading “Chocolate Macarons”
