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 […]

It’s that time of year when I begin to make some edible presents and these GingerBread Cookie Dough Truffles are just perfect. I wanted something simple, cheap and tasty to make and take to my various agents (acting and voice) and I really didn’t have a lot of time. So these are quick and cheap […]

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. […]

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 […]

“Half Term HobNobs” were created because I imagine some of you might like something to bake with the children while it’s half term? These are wholemeal too, so they’re not only a fun little thing to spend an afternoon making, you also don’t have to feel quite so bad when devouring them too. Although these […]

The Christmas baking has begun. I’ve delved in and decided it’s time to get ready, practice, prepare and list all the Christmas Baking that’s to be done over the festive period. I won’t lie, I’ve been thinking up Christmas Baking ideas since the summer, but I’m only just making them, and I couldn’t be happier. […]

Dark chocolate and mint. My absolute favourite flavour combination, so much so that I reckon that’s the bulk of my birthday and Christmas presents right there. No one can go wrong. I’ve been wanting to post something with this combination since day one, but usually the choc mint I keep in my fridge never lasts […]

Wow. What a week I’ve had. Stress city over here! As I was feeling a bit sorry for myself I wanted to bake something that would comfort me, a bake that would be the equivalent of a “nice cuppa tea”. So what else could I make but the simple, humble and near perfect digestive biscuit. […]

I had a challenge. My brother’s girlfriend (Mari) was turning 30, so I obviously offered to bake a cake. If you make it to 30, I am willing to TRY and bake anything that your heart desires. I may live to regret saying that. So Mari said she didn’t mind what it was, just something […]

I had two cravings. Firstly, a honey roasted nut craving. Unusual? Maybe. Pregnant? Definitely not. Secondly, a baking withdrawal ‘craving’. (Ok, not strictly a ‘craving’ but you see where I’m going here….) Unusual? No. Fixable? Most definitely. So these cookies were the outcome. A little cookie note, the longer you leave these babies in the […]

Easter is done and there’s a ton of goodies to eat. So, this is something I’m making from my pile of bank holiday weekend leftovers (can I also just take this moment to say, how is it already nearing the end of April?!!) Anyway, I’m a massive fan of a mixed salt and sweet treat […]

Peanut butter and peanuts. My mums favourite. When I go to get fed and loved by her, usually on a Sunday, I can often see a look in her eye – a look searching for a peanut inspired bake. Preferably something healthy (ish) that she won’t feel too guilty about. So this is my most […]
