Do you remember that time that I crossed a brownie with a coconut macaroon and some salted caramel? And it was like a new kind of candy bar had been invented? One that would bring tidings of…
This is THE cake for all seasons. There is never a bad time to make this cake. Cold? Well, this cake is bright with lemon (a winter fruit, did you know?) so it will bring a little warmth…
PFEFFERNüSSE!!!! …is easily one of my favourite all times words to say. It’s the funnest! The P is silent, and ü makes a nice ooo sound. It’s a real pleasure, trust me. Put on your best German accent…

Happy Friday, people! Today I’m bringing you the lazy gal’s guide to baking one of the pastry world’s most finicky confections; the macaron. And what’s more, these are Salted Nutella Macarons. So they are basically, the ultimate Holiday cookie….
Afternoon tea-time everybody! Excuse me while I sing ‘jam tarts, jam tarts’ to the tune of that song ‘ bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?’. Because apparently it is no trouble at all for me to make…

PRUNES. I figured that I would just put that right at the top of the post, so that those of you who are really REALLY averse to our friend, the dried plum, can take your leave of this page, and…
