Have you ever heard anything so disgustingly delicious? Don’t talk to be about a cheesecake recipe if at any point you mention an oven. I can’t bare it. No cheese in any cake should be subjected to the confines of oven. I don’t want to know about leaving it ajar or in a roasting tray … Continue reading ESPRESSO OREO CHEESECAKE
‘That’s my life and I don’t have to justify it…’ I made a smoothie. Yes indeed. I made an actual, whole entire smoothie. I want to share it with you, but please know that I am sharing it with you because it tastes delicious and is basically a milkshake. That’s why I’m calling this recipe … Continue reading PEANUT BUTTER & BANANA SHAKE
It’s Christmas time. Look on the top of your mother’s fridge. Or at the back of her cupboard. Or in the depths of her drawer of gifts given to her by people that she will then give to somebody else. I can almost guarantee you that you will find a cardboard box containing one of … Continue reading RUM PANETTONE BREAD & BUTTER PUDDING
‘This the season and whatnot…’ So it’s that time of year again and I have hit the point of the season where I don’t feel safe unless I have some form of baked item on my windowsill. I’m talking about festive baking. No it’s not a recipe for the Festive Bake from Greggs, it is … Continue reading BRANDY BANANA & DATE BREAD
Cherry Brandy Soaked Carrot Cake with Lime Cheese Frosting. I call this one of my Redemption Recipes. What I mean by Redemption Recipe, is that I try and salvage what is left of my culinary dignity by cooking something in the present that I once failed to do in the past. My redemption for this … Continue reading CHERRY BRANDY SOAKED CARROT CAKE WITH LIME CHEESE FROSTING (BUZZ MAGAZINE)
Simple White Loaf. I’m making a conscious effort from now on to stop referring to myself as ‘not a baker’. I bake and I bake often. There was a dark time however where the concept of mixing flour with anything and placing it in an oven would bring me out in hives, however I think … Continue reading SIMPLE WHITE LOAF
Sticky Toffee Pudding with Salted Butterscotch Sauce. Nursery food, to me, is something I often rely on when I’m feeling fragile. Trying to recreate something that is familiar to me from my childhood is an easy and familiar way of reminding myself how far I have come but still allowing me to remember the past … Continue reading STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING WITH SALTED BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE
Chocolate Chip & Salted Crisp Cookies. As the food contributor to Buzz Magazine, I am tasked monthly to come up with recipes that befit the feel of the times. There has been an extraordinary upscale in our weather offering lately – however I have no doubt that by the time this post is published, we’ll … Continue reading CHOCOLATE CHIP & SALTED CRISP COOKIE (BUZZ MAGAZINE)
Lemon & Thyme Mug Cake. I always thought the concept of ‘cutesie’ version of normal recipes were pointless. You see them all the time online where an everyday recipe is condensed down and done in a way that looks extremely tempting but you would never want to dedicate the time to accomplish. They’re good for … Continue reading LEMON & THYME MUG CAKE
Chocolate Orange & Rum Cake. In time for Easter, I want to present to you my lazy boy’s answer to chocolate cake. Seldom do I bake. I’m a very, very lazy baker. For as much as I love cooking, baking is something I sparsely have time for purely because of its precision. I won’t go … Continue reading CHOCOLATE ORANGE & RUM CAKE
