Updated 1st August 2024 I first learnt how to make lemon curd in a home economics class at school (a long time ago, although it REALLY doesn’t feel like it). Much to my delight, when I took it home, it was a huge hit with my mum and grandparents. And because of their glee, my […]

Updated 21st October 2021 Popped together this gorgeous, gluten free chocolate cake last weekend. The recipe I used, and ever so slightly adapted to make it gluten free, was listed as a ‘Birthday cake’ in Nigella Lawson’s book How To Eat. I love this book so much. Nigella’s writing style is awesome and since writing […]

I’m so chuffed to be sharing this gluten free chocolate marble Easter cake with you. As not only does it look rather cute and tastes great, it was also lovely to have an opportunity to use a savarin tin which had belonged to my mum, to make the cake. And the meaningful tin, with its […]

I love pancakes and love that they are so quick and easy to rustle up! And as they also only require basic ingredients, more often than not, you will probably have all you need to make them already at home.
