recipes for food lovers
During school holidays I like to make and bake things with my children. That is how these honey bites came to fruition. They are inspired by my love of crunchy nut cornflakes but don’t tell my children. I never buy them. Nor Frosties, sugar puffs or coco pops. I prefer to make them instead and… read more »
After the success I had making my first ever gingerbread house last Christmas (HERE) I thought I should have another try. So, here is my Easter Gingerbread House. Or rather village.

I have since made a new batch but feel that I may be persuaded into making Choclette’s latest creation too. A chocolate and chilli combination that is just calling me. I am sure there must be some… read more »

It almost December, so I don’t feel too bad about sharing with you a bake that involves mincemeat. You see, I want to make a fresh batch. But to do that, I needed to use up my last two jars of last years Delia mincemeat. It’s too early, even for me to be making mince… read more »
