Earl Grey Fruit Loaf
I’m calling this an Earl Grey Fruit Loaf because it’s got Earl Grey and fruit in it, and its loaf shaped. There’s also no butter or fat, so it doesn’t seem to be a cake as such. You could call it a tea cake though […]

What We’re Eating Week 5
So, I missed a week of what we ate. Actually, I think I might have missed two weeks. Basically, it was two weeks of joyous delight. The week before last started pretty normally. We ate nice normal family meals. Then on Thursday, I got a […]
Chocolate Cupcakes with Blackberry Buttercream
Berry Picking Since moving to a new house in August, we’ve become slightly fruit picking obsessed. We’ve got an apple tree in the garden, so we had a few months of apple madness. There was lots of cooking with apples and new recipes. Then, we’ve […]
Classic Apple and Blackberry Crumble
Crumbles are one of my favourite desserts. To be honest, I love pretty much anything that you can have with lashings of custard. I love summer, but this year I’m really looking forward to comforting food and stodgy puddings like this Classic Apple and Blackberry […]
Leftover Roast Beef Stroganoff
The Sunday Roast I don’t know about you, but I love a Sunday roast. We occasionally have a midweek roast, but it’s rare, and when we do it’s much simpler. But, we have a Sunday roast most weeks. Meat, roast potatoes, roast veggies, mash, stuffing, […]
Roasted Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Soup
There’s very little that grosses me out like the inside of a pumpkin. I don’t mind the seeds, but that weird stringy stuff is horrible. It feels like I don’t even know what. I’m also slightly confused about whether or not I should eat it?! […]
What We’re Eating Week Four
The weather has been so strange this week. When we leave for school in the morning, it’s cold and grey. We’re in big coats and I’ve got the car heater on full. Which also means that traffic is a nightmare and it’s taking us 7 […]
Apple and Caramel Crumble
Stodgy Puddings Apple crumble has got to be one of my favourite puddings. I talk all the time about how much I love big stodgy puddings with lashings of custard. I honestly don’t think there’s much better. I usually happily eat things like this all […]
Halloween Rocky Road
Halloween Humbug I must confess, I’m not really bothered by Halloween. It means we’re a step closer to Christmas, but that’s where my enthusiasm for it ends if I’m honest. When I was a kid, my parents were of the “It’s an American holiday, you’re […]
What We’re Eating Week Three
It’s been such a crazy weather week, hasn’t it? We’ve had crazy windy storms, mad rain, and 20 degrees with sunshine. I love summer, but I must admit, I’d rather proper autumn than this weird mixture. I go out in the morning in a scarf […]
Minty Double Choc Cookies
There are plenty of ways to make things minty. Mint essence and flavourings are fantastically effective, and of course actual mint is always a good call. But, when I’m baking anything chocolatey and want to add some mint, my go-to is Mint Aero Chocolate bubbles. […]
