Seasonally Inspired Recipes & Writing
Baking disasters happen to everyone. That’s what I told myself as the double layer chocolate orange cake I was planning to make stuck to the tin in a magnificent fashion. The only way to get it out was to hack it up into bits – and so it became a Chocolate Orange Easter Tiramisu. Lesson 1 [...]
Easter is usually all about roast lamb, but in case you are looking for an alternative – or you have an extra large crowd to feed - you might have time to try this recipe for Pollo al Limone – or Lemon Chicken Thighs. It is one of my favourite recipes from a book I received recently called The [...]
Easter weekend is almost here, which means it’s time to start thinking about feeding, baking, decorating eggs, making Easter baskets and hopefully, to finally welcoming some Spring sunshine! Easter can be a very special time, rich in symbolism; new life, re-birth, new activity, perhaps taking a break, a step back to breathe, taking the opportunity to spring clean, to [...]
I’m re-visiting this post from last Easter. It’s time to get baking again! Not that there really are ever any ‘leftover’ mini eggs…but just in case you have a bag or two around this Easter, I hope you find time to make these.

This week I came across a lovely shoulder of lamb at my local [...]
Easter is such a lovely time of year and it is made even better by this glorious weather. Not that you really want to be stuck in your kitchen, but if the urge takes you, here are some easy ideas for decorating Easter cupcakes. These are white chocolate chip cupcakes filled with seedless raspberry jam, [...]

These little chickens are really easy to prepare and make ahead if you are cooking for a crowd and would make a lovely alternative to roast lamb on Easter Sunday, especially if you don’t like lamb! I have been making this recipe for a number of years now, the original came from an American cookbook [...]
