You’ll have to excuse me. The past few weeks have been rather frenetic due to this and this and it has taken me longer than promised to share this Cybermummy flapjack recipe in FIVE flavours and host a giveaway for my Cybermummy sponsor, Flahavan’s. I’ve also been doing my first ever edited movie, a 3 minute […]
Masterchef Cook Off at Miele Kitchen
It comes with much hilarity to me that I might be perceived as any kind of baking “expert” yet in my first year of food blogging I’ve had approaches related to three television shows to “come in and cook something.” When the team behind Miele kitchen appliances asked me to come into their London show […]
Cybermummy 2010 pt1
A holding post before you all think I’ve disappeared. This weekend, I went to the incredible Cybermummy conference in London, a massive get together for around 180 mummy bloggers. I will give a more detailed rundown on my thoughts about the day and how mummy bloggers compare to food bloggers in the next few days […]
Maltesers Cupcakes
Today is the first of two posts sharing further recipes for cakes I made for Martyn Cox’s open garden day featured in my previous post. Several of you have been pleading for the marzipan cake recipe but I’m going to taunt you a little while longer for that and today it is Maltesers Cupcakes. Lily […]
Mini Chocolate Meringues Dessert
As a slack Daring Baker of late, I’m surprised I’ve not been kicked out. I keep having other cakes due on the 27th when we post our challenges and have not been organised enough to get DB finished and written up first. The March and April challenges didn’t inspire me and I was away […]

Skipper Restaurant St Martin de Ré, France
Dinner with Crayons is my regular weekend kid friendly restaurant review. This week though is a rarity. We escaped during our recent holiday on Île de Ré. Today there are no sippy cups, no budgie’s cage mess on the floor and nooooo crayons! Oysters are alive aren’t they? Just to check I kept pricking these […]
Mackerel Salad with Beetroot, Apple, Walnut
Whether using canned fish or vacuum packs, healthy mackerel salad recipes are an essential store cupboard standby.
An easy Mackerel salad recipe paired with walnuts, beetroot and fresh apple slices.
Peppa Pig Rocket Cake
Organising birthday parties was probably my main incentive to have a child! Daydreaming over Nigella Lawson books about having a little helper to stir the batter and plead whether they can lick the bowl out yet. Studying complicated animals made out of food in Australian Women’s Weeklies. Imagining a table laid out with a […]
Coconut Granola with Cherry
Winding back to the Rhubarb Muffins, I made this Coconut Granola with Cherry on that same productive muffin morning. Describing cereal as life changing sounds lunacy to me but home made granola was an unexpected revelation. Gathering the ingredients, the scale of how much I was making made me think, “I’m going to have this […]
Strawberry Chocolate Cake with Rose Ganache
> If you like Turkish delight you’ll love this Strawberry Chocolate Cake smothered in thick milk chocolate ganache and fragrant rose flavour! Pairing traditional English flavours with something more exotic: tea, strawberries, milk chocolate, English rose and a Turkish Delight twist! Although I originally infused the ganache with rose tea bags, I have amended the […]
Wahaca Canary Wharf
“Dinner with Crayons” is my occasional series of weekend kid friendly restaurant and cafe posts. Today we are at Wahaca Canary Wharf. My 3 year old accompanies me to the main UK chains, some independent places and who knows, somewhere more glamorous if we don’t get kicked out. Second time around taking Ted to Mexican […]
