Another birthday, another baking present….I am SO predictable! This time for coffee addict, Ian. I wanted to make something that I could easily transport over London and then on trains, so instead of a creamy cake, I thought biscuits were the way to go. I am also a sucker for shortbread ANYTHING, so thought why […]

It’s January and I’m overwhelmed with Veganuary posts on social media. Anyone else trying it? I’m trying a Vegan diet for a few days a week, for reasons I won’t talk about now, so thought it was a great excuse to make a ‘healthy’ Vegan snack, and that’s where these Vegan Dark Chocolate and Orange […]

I couldn’t hold out any longer – it’s time for some Christmas posts! These Stained Glass Sugar Cookies are so cheap and so simple and can be used as tree decorations as well as belly fillers :) (If you are going to hang the on the tree, make a hole for the string before they […]

Every time I see my mum she asks me to make her my peanut cookies. I love that she loves them, but also, it’s a little boring. REALLY?? OUT OF EVERYTHING I EVER MAKE? THOSE AGAIN? Please excuse the shouting. I tentatively decided to mix it up a little, but keep it in the same […]

With the weather turning wintery, the scarves making their first appearance of the year and the radiators getting warmer by the day its not hard to believe I’m starting to feel very snuggly. Tea and biscuits are my happy place, so I thought I’d make a little twist on one of my all time favourite […]

Halloween is just ANOTHER great excuse for me to bake and get a little creative in the kitchen, so here are my Halloween Biscuits – Scrummy Spiders! I thought these were a great little bake for the kids (of any age!) and are so cheap and easy, so a bit of a winner all around. […]

I’m not ashamed to admit that these Vegan Snap Cookies were made completely by accident. I was trying out a different vegan bake (which will be up soon) and realised I had the wrong consistency of ingredients. I desperately didn’t want to waste anything I had used, so turned them into these chocolate dipped moreish […]

This is my extra thick, extra naughty, Chocolate Bar Shortbread recipe. Need I say more? (…I will…) Yesterday went a bit like this: I have an unrequited love for shortbread, a classic that is often overlooked. I also have a jar of chocolate bars that are burning a hole in my cupboard. Time to combine […]

I absolutely LOVE HobNobs. That’s the only reason I really needed to make my very own Homemade Hobnobs. There was one other reason though, I was seeing the boyfriends extended family and wanted to bake something as a little treat. I don’t really know them terribly well, so wanted something that would a) suit all […]

Double Chocolate PROTEIN cookies??? Why the extra protein I hear you ask? I’ve decided to venture out of my comfort zone at the gym – which would have usually consisted of a lot of running – and I have started to lift some weights. Apparently Daisy Ridley (of Star Wars fame) can deadlift 75kg…so that’s […]

Other than a massive craving for Soft & Chewy American Style Cookies, there is no other reason for this post. I had a week off tour, had constantly passed ‘Millie’s Cookies’ stands and resisted temptation and so fancied a treat after some hard work. I have to say, one of my favourite cookie recipes to […]

These are my Valentine Day alternatives. For those who want to celebrate or commiserate this impending commercialised affair. If you want to bake for yourself or for all your single friends or even for those who are completely in love but just can’t stand the standard pink and red vibes. These ‘Black Heart’ Sugar Cookies […]

It would NOT be Christmas without Gingerbread. Fact. As I (..and my family and other half) get through a ton of them, I wanted to make them with a slightly ‘healthier’ twist. So were born my Wholemeal and Spelt Gingerbread Men. If I’m being really honest, I can promise you I don’t think you can […]

I’m on tour with a play at the moment and I am travelling to different parts of the UK every week. It’s quite a gruelling schedule – Poole to Blackpool, Exeter to Liverpool. Living out of a suitcase is definitely not for the faint hearted. I can’t travel much ‘stuff’, including food, as I’m not […]

I’m off to my friend, Will’s, BBQ and I refuse to go empty handed but I also don’t have much time. These rocky road bars are simple, quick and a massive crowd pleaser. Will is a chocolate fiend, if he’s having a chocolate treat he is having a CHOCOLATE treat. There’s no time for nuts […]
