Chocolate and stem ginger macarons

October 14, 2014 by Ashley Leave a Comment
Chocolate and stem ginger macarons

I can’t resist macarons. They’re so tasty and they’re really fun to make! These mix two of my favourite flavours – chocolate and stem ginger. They’re very moreish. My all time favourite are hazelnut praline macarons – a recipe I got from my friend Clare of the Little Bear Cakery. She taught me everything I know about macarons, and I … [Read more…]

Sticky cinnamon buns

Sticky cinnamon buns

Hellooooo, sexy. I don’t think you can beat a fresh cinnamon roll – they’re so ridiculously scrumptious. They’re made using an enriched dough but it’s pretty simple. Best of all, you can cheat and use a dough hook, so there’s no faff with getting dough all over your kitchen! These are fun to make with … [Read more…]

Chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting

Chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting

These are pretty easy and very tasty. It’s a recipe I adapted from one of the Hummingbird Bakery books – their recipe is brilliant but I find it can be a tiny bit dry. I’ve tried a few variations and I think this version is a little bit more moist and light. I piped the … [Read more…]

Raspberry and chocolate macarons

Raspberry and chocolate macarons in the middle, between two rows of hazelnut praline!

I’m going through a real macaron phase at the moment! I just can’t stop making them. I have such a moment of joy every time I pull them out of the oven and can see they’ve actually worked. My all time favourite are hazelnut praline macarons – a recipe I got from my friend Clare … [Read more…]

Summer berry pavlova

July 29, 2014 by Ashley Leave a Comment
Summer berry pavlova

Pavlova is one of my fail-proof summer desserts. It’s perfect with all the lovely seasonal berries and it’s nice and light, making it ideal for long summer evenings and barbecues. I used a mix of mascarpone and Greek yoghurt to make my topping and the results were fab – really creamy but without that occasional claggy … [Read more…]

Honey soy chicken

July 15, 2014 by Ashley Leave a Comment
Barbecue season is upon us!

This is one of my mum’s recipes – a real family classic! It’s perfect for the barbecue, as the honey caramelises and really complements the soy. It takes a couple of minutes to make and is best done the day before so the chicken can marinade overnight. For four chicken breasts or six thighs, you … [Read more…]

Tomato, basil, and goats cheese tartlets

Tomato, goats cheese, and basil tartlets

  Let me start by saying these might be the easiest things in the world to make. They take about 20 mins to prepare and 20 mins in the oven – leaving you the rest of the hour to put your feet up and scoff them. I made them for my boyfriend and his two … [Read more…]

Pineapple rum fruit cake

Everyone loves a good fruit cake – they last ages and they’re brilliant to have on standby in the cupboard. This one is lovely and moist – and best of all, it’s easy peasy to make! You can make it in a loaf tin, or if you fancy cutting it into small squares, you can … [Read more…]

Cranberry and white chocolate flapjacks

Phwoar.

Alright, alright, I know it’s another flapjack recipe so soon after I posted my cherry flapjacks, but I couldn’t help it. These are the most amazing flapjacks and I NEED to share the recipe with you. Cranberry and white chocolate have long been bedfellows – everyone loves the tang of cranberries mixed with the mellow … [Read more…]

Strawberry pavlova

May 27, 2014 by Ashley Leave a Comment
Strawberry pavlova

Pavlova the perfect summer pudding – it’s not too heavy but it’s just rich enough to make a delightfully indulgent dessert. It’s best with British strawberries freshly whipped cream (none of your canned nonsense). Egg whites whip best at room temperature, so if you’re going to use a carton of egg whites, take them out of … [Read more…]
