Seasonally Inspired Recipes & Writing
These chocolate brownies really ought to come with a warning on them. They are slightly addictive. I bake regularly and I can rustle up a pretty good brownie myself. But inside this little box lies pure decadence. I reviewed Bluebasil Brownies once before and in fact, it came to be one of my popular posts and giveaways. [...]
My children love chocolate and they’d ask for a sprinkle of cocoa every day if they could. Luckily, we manage to avoid most sugary breakfast cereals and instead we go for a bowl of milky porridge or Weetabix, so they are usually allowed a little pinch of cocoa. Breakfast smoothies are a good option, too, if [...]
I am afraid that this is the extent of my Halloween creativity this year! Here are my simple chocolate Halloween decorations. Once you’ve piped them and left them to cool, you can use them to decorate cakes or tarts. I am not one to spend lots and lots of time on gimmicky food treats. By the time [...]
This week I was invited to take part in a challenge set by Russell Hobbs to try out their new Creations Kitchen Machine.

Yet more baking! This time a lovely chocolate brownie cake that you can make in a flash and easily serve to your guests at short notice minute. This brownie cake was a bit of an experiment.

The February challenge was to come up with something chocolate, savoury and vegetarian. Not many things came to mind. Until, at the very last minute, I spied a packet [...]
Anyone who has a chocolate addiction, as I have, will appreciate a good chocolate book and William Curley’s Couture Chocolate – A Masterclass in Chocolate provides the perfect hit. William Curley is Britain’s top Chocolatier (how I love that word), having won the title of the Academy of Chocolate’s Best British Chocolatier for the last four [...]
Thank you for all your entries to the recent Hotel Chocolat giveaway to win the Open Your Heart to Me selection.
As you may have already realised by now, I am a little bit partial to a nice bit of chocolate. It is the one thing I couldn’t live without and it would certainly be something I’d request if I was stranded on a desert island. Although if I was really lucky, I’d get stranded on the island of [...]
I should have known when I made the Panettone and Nutella Bread Pudding, that the healthy eating plan would go downhill. But I have long had my eye on a very special vegan chocolate cake recipe from Leon Baking and Puddings Book Three, which I loved reviewing and have been cooking from lots. As this month’s We Should [...]
