I love strawberries and they are at their best during the British summer. I do sometimes get a little carried away and buy more then we can eat in a day. Unfortunately strawberries really need to be eaten within a day or two of picking before they go a little soft. This is the time I make strawberry crumbles. I make this as a tray bake and are so moreish it’s difficult to only eat one square! Continue reading “Strawberry Crumbles”
I love the zing of a lemon drizzle cake that combined with the sweetness of the blueberries makes this cake extremely popular.
I have substituted some of the sugar for honey in this recipe, it just adds another dimension to the cake.

You can use them whole, or use chopped dates or sultanas, all will be good. Continue reading “Sticky Toffee Cake”

Once you have mastered a classic brownie recipe that you like and enjoy the most then you can add all sorts of things to ‘liven’ your brownies up. Continue reading “Chocolate Fudge Brownies”
This lemon cake has such a lovely refreshing taste, with the addition of poppy seeds to this cake gives a great crunch to it. I have made a lemon curd to fill this cake which gives an added zing along with the lemon icing. ‘Total lemon over load’ you may think, however it really works and we all love the texture the poppy seeds give.
