The sun is shining and my thoughts turn to Afternoon Tea in the garden and of course scrumptious cake ! Recently Olly and I popped into The Cake Shed in Tunbridge Wells and are now totally addicted, the sandwiches and range of tea choices are amazing, but what is really…
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…
Very Healthy Snack Bars
So its January, time for fad diets, memberships to gyms that will be forgotten about by March and just heaps of new years resolutions that are impossible to keep. Now you all know that I have the sweetest tooth in the world, I just love cake, but if you are…
Crab Cakes with Tartar Sauce
I have to admit that I nearly did not post the recipe for these crab cakes with tartar sauce as I wasn’t that keen on them, it was my own fault, I thought that I loved tarragon, I got a bit heavy handed with it and when it came to eat…

Chorizo Pilaf
I am not going to put this Chorizo Pilaf under the mains category of Indian, Italian or Spanish, but in ‘other’, this is because I feel that this dish falls somewhere between a paella and a risotto, slow-cooked basmati rice with deep paprika flavours and even though I feel more Spanish…
Honey and Almond Cake
As you can see by the flowers in the photo, I made this cake a little while ago, the reason for the delay in writing up the post is that the recipe came from the Country Living magazine, May edition and I let a friend borrow it, now I have…
Leek, Potato and Goats Cheese Tarte Tatin
I actually do not know where to begin with this recipe, yes it is a little more complicated than the Chicken cooked in Coconut Milk but trust me, it is so worth it, it is truly heaven on a plate. What could be nicer than old friends like leek and potato…
