Christmas might be well and truly over for another year, but if you’re anything like me the you’ve still got a metric tonne of chocolate lying around the house. Every cupboard and spare surface is stocked with Matchmakers, Lindor balls, and selection boxes. But I’ve found a much better use for two of the Terry’s…

Chocolate Orange French Madeleines (Mediterranean Week #1)
Bonjour, and welcome to the first in my very special week-long celebration of everything French, Spanish, and Italian. As I may have mentioned a few times, Katie and I recently spent two gorgeous weeks cruising around the Mediterranean with my family, so forgive me if I’m just not ready to let go of the sunshine,…
Clementine & Prosecco Jam
The inspiration for today’s recipe came from some bubble bath. I bet that’s not a phrase that’s often bandied about on baking blogs, but it’s 100% true. I loved the smell of my Clementine and Prosecco bath soak so much that I knew I needed to make some jam based on it. And so my…
Pimm’s Cupcakes
I absolutely love tennis. I can’t play it for toffee, but the two weeks of the year when Wimbledon is on TV is one of the best times of the year – second only to Christmas, obvs. I’ve been lucky enough to go to Wimbledon three times (maybe four?) and there are a few things…

Orange Carrot Cupcakes
Orange carrot cupcakes – made using both actual oranges, and orange carrots. This recipe name works on so many levels. Or maybe it’s just the two. Before we begin with today’s recipe, I’ve got to let you know that things might be a little more sparse around here for a month or two. We…
Cherry Chocolate Hot Cross Buns
There’s only four sleeps until the most chocolatey day of the year is upon us, and so I thought I’d turn the one remaining non-chocolatey Easter treat into something a lot more… well… chocolatey. Introducing Cherry Chocolate Hot Cross Buns. Or maybe Choc Cross Buns? I don’t even know if Hot Cross Buns are a…
Flapjacks with Apricot, Cranberry & Orange
These flapjacks are perfect if you want to pretend that your New Year’s resolution to eat more healthily is still going strong, when actually these beauties include a tonne of sugar and syrup. But there’s oats and fruit, so that makes it all okay. Right? These are the type of flapjacks that are soft and…
