Happy Pancake Day! One of my favourite days of the year. Pancakes are something I only ever have on special occassions so they're a welcome treat. When I saw this recipe from Tesco for chocolate pancakes, I just had to give them a go. I thought they were a nice twist on the original pancake … Continue reading Chocolate Pancakes with Mixed Berries and Ice Cream
A few weeks ago I went to visit my parents in their new home. I wanted to take them a treat that you could just pick up and eat as I knew all their kitchen bits would be in boxes. I came across this recipe for Millionaire's Flapjacks by Jane's Patisserie and thought it was perfect … Continue reading Millionaire’s Flapjack
January is, for many, a time of detox and healthy eating. I decided to jump on the bandwagon using this fantastic Gefu Spirelli Spiral Slicer supplied to me by the wonderful Steamer Trading Cookshop. In the past I've only ever used spiralizers with a frame or base, never a hand held. This is probably why I've … Continue reading Review: Gefu Spirelli Spiral Slicer
This week I've been working on something exciting. I've added a new section to my blog where you'll be able to find some savoury bakes. We're half way through January and that's pretty much the time that most of us seem to slip on our New Year's healthy eating resolutions. But don't worry, I've got … Continue reading Cheesy Chicken with Tomato Courgetti
With only a few weeks to go until Christmas (how has this year gone so quickly?!), it seemed like the perfect time to bake some gingerbread. What I love about gingerbread, aside from the delicious taste, is just how well the end product seems to last. It’s perfect for a long lasting stash that you … Continue reading Christmas Gingerbread
Sorry for the silence on my blog lately! I've been laking inspiration recently and needed a good reason to crop up for me to make something exciting. So when I was invited over to meet some of my boyfriends extended family, it seemed like the perfect excuse. I decided to make a tart as it's … Continue reading Chocolate and Caramel Tart
I'm a little behind on my GBBO baking, but I've managed to come up with these chocolate and pecan palmiers. I know they made savoury ones on the show, but I'm all about sweet fillings. I actually borrowed this filling from my chocolate babka in week 3. I enjoyed it so much that I thought … Continue reading Chocolate and Pecan Palmiers #GBBO9
So... Tudor Week. Time to make pastry again! This weeks episode of The Great British Bake Off took on a bit of a savoury theme. However, I have a bit of a sweet tooth (as you may have noticed!) so decided to throw in my own twist and make a sweet apple pie. I used … Continue reading Apple Pie #GBBO8
So was rolling a swiss roll as terrifying as it looked on Bake Off? YES! And to be honest, maybe I should have listened when lots of them rolled their sponge while it was still warm. I left mine to cool and it cracked a little while I was rolling it, hence the nutella buttercream … Continue reading Coffee, Nutella & Hazelnut Swiss Roll #GBBO7
Pastry making take 2. It's true what they say... practice really does make perfect! Close to perfect anyway! I know people say that making pastry is meant to be really difficult, but so far I've had no soggy bottoms. It's actually been quite a good experience! Although, I have only made shortcrust pastry, so maybe I'm … Continue reading Lemon Meringue Pie #GBBO6
