Maison Larnicol Saint Malo Brittany
Today we go to chocolate heaven and back. Maison Larnicol is truly wonderful. I discovered it on holiday this summer in St Malo, Brittany.
Waitrose Christmas Range
Get set for twelve fabulous days of present giving lined up between now and December 17. There will be books, hampers, cookware, chocolate, you name it, it’s being given away here over the next twelve days.
Postcard from Herceg Novi, Montenegro
Herceg Novi is an easy 30 minute drive from Dubrovnik airport just over the Croatian border. You can fly there with Easy Jet in summer and British Airways throughout the year.
Pumpkin Scones
Scones are best on the day they are made but if kept in an airtight tin, a quick 15 seconds in the microwave will send them back to that just out of the oven softness.

Mini Blackberry Crumbles with Apple (Gluten Free)

Daim Cupcakes with Dulce de Leche Buttercream
These cupcakes are studded with dime bar pieces although you could just as easily use the more widely available whole Dime bars smashed into shards.
Winter Wonderland Cupcakes
My son has a favourite game on in the Christmas section of the Cbeebies website, we call it the ice skating game. It’s on the site all year through so he actually discovered it in July but I’ve been suggesting it to him to play now. The background music echoes like in an ice rink, […]
Cherry Chelsea Buns
I recently received a bag of very strong Canadian bread making flour from Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference range and prepared to get kneading. Not being an experienced bread maker, I don’t know enough to compare this flour with other brands but soon I hope to change all that.
