Double Chocolate and Cherry Brownies Posted on February 16, 2020 By Becky I am SO happy to be writing this blog post on double chocolate and cherry brownies. Firstly, because it’s been lovely to have a fairly chilled out weekend in which to potter, bake and play with my camera (thanks, Storm Dennis!), and secondly, because I am overjoyed to have taken… Read more
Baking Banana Loaf bites with Banana icing Posted on September 12, 2018 By Becky As I mentioned in a previous blog post, we are big on baking in our household, particularly Adam and Freddie, who are starting to give Paul Hollywood a run for his money (without the perma-tan and ridiculously young girlfriend, arf arf). At the weekend they got their bake-on again, and… Read more
Baking Our family baking hobby and WIN a KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer Posted on April 11, 2018 By Becky I have to say that since starting my blog nearly 5 years ago, this has to be one of my favourite giveaways EVER, and I’m hoping that the prize helps someone with their passion for baking, or ignites a new one. With spring now here (I think….) I’m all for… Read more
Baking Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake with Cranberry Coulis Posted on December 13, 2017January 25, 2023 By Becky December for us tends to be one big social whirl, and whilst we are often out-and-about a fair bit, we also like to host gatherings at ours, and of course, the majority of these are based around delicious food and drink.

Baking This Year’s Christmas Cake Posted on December 5, 2014 By Becky Every year I make a Christmas cake, using my family’s traditional recipe. Once the cake has had a few weeks to be soaked in booze, it’s retrieved from its tin, and decorating it completes this much-loved culinary ritual! I’d decided to decorate it earlier than usual this year, as we’d… Read more
Baking World’s Best Sausage Rolls! Posted on December 2, 2014 By Becky I have to admit that I’m a bit of a pastry fiend. Sweet or savoury, I could eat the stuff all day, but I refrain as I would be the size of a house! However, once the festive season is upon us, I allow myself to indulge as much as… Read more
Baking Dairy-free hazelnut, chocolate and banana loaf Posted on July 22, 2014May 2, 2025 By Becky A few weeks ago, Freddie and Sasha were diagnosed as being cow-dairy intolerant (more on this to follow). Obviously as a family who like their food, and with children who are (thankfully) good eaters, this foray into a dairy-free zone has been a little challenging (wot, no cheese guv?!), although… Read more
Baking Easy 4 Ingredient Flapjacks Posted on April 8, 2014May 2, 2025 By Becky Last week we made these super-easy ‘4 Ingredient’ flapjacks, as I was getting a bit fed up of spending a fair bit of of money most weeks on pre-packaged toddler cereal bars.
