“It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas”…. Woohoo my favourite time of the year!! I remember as a little girl, my folks would turn Christmas into the most magical time for us, my brother and I would always decorate the tree together, and then on Christmas Eve we would go to bed early bursting…
I’m still trying to come up with a name for these because Christmas cupcakes sounds really blah (which they are anything BUT)…someone on my Instragram suggested cuppies because they really are a beautiful marriage between an almond cupcake and mince pie. Being fortunate enough to live in the country and down the road from the…
It is officially autumn here in the UK! Not just because of the obvious later sunrises and earlier sunsets but more the blustery winds that swirl orange leaves all over the place. Now, in books and movies this is considered romantic especially if there is a little child running around trying to catch the leaves…
I have to tell you that I LOVE carrot cake, it is my first choice when I order a slice of cake in a shop. There is something just so homely and rustic about it that I guess makes it such a popular choice. For me I think it’s about texture, a chunky crunchy…
Inspired by the popular recipe for Nordic bread which is simply a combination of nuts, seeds, oil and eggs. Me being….well, ME…had to ramp the recipe up slightly as usual!

There are some days when you just want to have a treat like maybe a gummie baby or two… OR the whole bag is usually my case. I have always wanted to make my own but kind of figured they would be way to hard and messy to even attempt, until recently that is. I…
A huge splurge at my local farmers market (mainly because of my inability to walk past amazing produce and just keep my hands in my pockets) resulted in an excess of strawberries this past weekend. When I opened the fridge today I noticed they were looking ever so slightly tired so I set to work…
I’m back….after a few months off the blogging circuit I’m finally back with renewed excitement and rearing to go in the creativity department. Where have I been for the past few months you ask? I have been photographing a recipe book for a great friend/author Dr Karen S Lee who has written a book for…
Although I consider myself “paleo” I have to admit that I’m also human. This means that on occasions I have to cut the proverbial corners when it comes to meal prep and rely on the Free From isle of my local supermarkets. Now, the idea of whipping up a quick pesto sounds very romantic but…
