Zero baking required! Brand new blog event!
Inspired by my current kitchen chaos and recent White Chocolate Rocky Road Recipe I thought it might be quite fun to collect some posts where there’s zero baking required. I don’t mind if you send me refrigerator cakes, jellies, truffles, candy – my only stipulation is that there must be zero baking required. Any item that doesn’t […]
White Chocolate Rocky Road with Ginger Nuts
Rocky road bars made from white chocolate, ginger nut biscuits and white Maltesers – I called this “Moon Rocky Road” children’s space themed birthday tea party as it looks like the lunar surface! Updated 2026 · Originally featured on Babycentre Blog but now published in full here. May I reassure you? Despite what the media […]
Mini Sausage Pies
Tasty mini sausage pies you might eat in one bite! Ever since I made my steak and kidney mini pies in a 12 hole cupcake tin, I’ve been wondering if I could go smaller. A home made bite size snack pie. We see mini pies in supermarket party canape ranges often but rarely would we […]

Accessible only by an expensive toll bridge, the island is a popular place for holiday makers as well as for Parisians, French celebrities and politicians to buy second homes. Ré vie (translation: Ré life) is very close to rêvie, […]
Strawberry Meringue Pudding
It was the last thing I would ever bake. Similar to pavlova but even easier. Egg whites and sugar whipped up into meringue, popped into a blisteringly hot oven which is then promptly turned off. Never to be turned on again.
My Pop Up Tea Shop Book Launch
Things have been quiet on here for a couple of weeks… I’ve been battling illness, spoken at Britmums, been on holiday and now it’s time to get baking again! On Sunday July 8th I will be holding a book signing and pop up tea shop event in Walthamstow Village. It’s a public event so […]
