Did someone say Easter’s on the way? Pancake day is done and dusted, and I’m sure you’ve seen those chocolate eggs filling up the seasonal aisle in your local supermarket (Katie, I want the Mint Chocolate Lindor one please, if you hadn’t already guessed). Plus I’m basically living off those incredible Mini Egg yogurts that […]

This week marks the arrival of the Bath Christmas Market to town. It’s one of the highlights of the festive season for anyone who lives here, and it means that my evenings will be spent meandering between the cute little wooden huts, eating mince pies and drinking hot chocolate. This might be the last Christmas we spend living in

I’ve got serious granola goals for you today. Totally overbaked salted caramel granola goals. BUT it still tastes good. Easy all-in-one salted caramel, roasted almonds, hazelnuts, and seeds. Oh yeah, and chocolate chips, as always. You can’t have a good breakfast without chocolate. I will live and die by that motto. Well, probably die. If

Times of Wool, Chocolates, and Biscuits It’s official – autumn starts right here. I’ve started wearing woolly jumpers, the Christmas shopping has begun. Heck, I’ve even gone and bought a new winter coat. There’s something special about this time of year that just gets me so excited about the next few months of cold crisp

These cookies and cream doughnuts are so good, that Kate’s colleagues loved them even when they had gone a bit stale. And if that’s not the sign of a good bake, then I don’t know what is. I’ve never made actual proper fried doughnuts before, so this recipe was either going to be amazing, or hideous.

I managed to drag myself away from this weekend’s Shadowhunters Netflix binge for long enough to bake something special to celebrate my all-time favourite fictional series – Harry Potter. Today is Harry’s (37th?) birthday, so I’m going to be munching one of these Butterbeer Cupcakes later on in his honour. If you’ve been to the

Actually, although this past year has had some hideous moments globally, it’s been a pretty fantastic year for this blog. I’ve posted pretty much consistently throughout 2017, with only a small wobble in December (you can read all about that here). And I’ve had so many more views, comments, tweets, and emails than I could have

Today’s recipe is served with a side order of sadness. Cue X-Factor style sob-story music. Three Christmases ago something magical happened. I walked into my neighbourhood Starbucks, ready to get myself into the festive spirit and drink something seasonal from one of those gorgeous red cups, and noticed something magical on the menu – the

February’s pretty much here, and with it brings a whole host of pink things. Yep, it’s going to be all hearts and chocolate around here for the next couple of weeks. You may say that all this pink is just me trying to hide from the fact that I’m turning 30 in 5 days. You’d

Super soft Nutella flavoured gelato, filled with crushed Ferrero Rocher pieces and swirls of chocolate hazelnut deliciousness. Inspired by my recent trip to Italy. We’ve enjoyed France, and we’ve had a massive sugar-rush in Spain, so it’s about time we explored the heart of the Mediterranean, Italy. This gorgeous country was where the majority of
