So yesterday I mentioned two things in my blog post, one my Hubby’s love of Jamie Oliver and also my new passion for Harris + Hoole, the coffee shop that I have discovered and fallen in love with, so continuing with these subjects I bring to you my version of…
Custard Cream Bars
Now I am not sure how to describe these Custard Cream Bars, they were not what I expected, but you know me, I just love scouring the internet for new recipes, I love something a little different, but I must admit that the downside of finding recipes on Pinterest is…
Chocolate Bundt Cake
I have to tell you a little guilty pleasure of mine…. I just love a bundt tin ! They can be expensive to buy, they are notorious for being hard work to get cakes out of, but they are just so pretty and can make the most simple of cakes look…
Paleo Breakfast Cookies
Please excuse the photo’s on this post, but by the time I got round to writing this they had all gone, a good sign that they were good, but still frustrating when you have a blog to write up ! I will definitely be baking these again and promise to…

Advent Bread with Maple Icing
October is here and Autumn is in full swing, the hedgerows are full of sloes and blackberries, chestnuts are on the trees and all around the colours are changing to those autumnal hues of red, orange and brown. What has been deceptive is the warmth and glorious sunshine, I can…
Christmas Cake with Spelt Flour
Christmas Cake is one of my most favourite things in the world to bake, I absolutely love Christmas, the tradition, the family coming together at the table and all the fabulous nostalgic smells that waft from the kitchen through the house. I also love Christmas cake because it is one…
