Breakfast & Brunch, Desserts / 06.12.2023

When cherry season rolls around late November, I have so many recipe ideas that I can't wait to try. Whereas my Cherry Chocolate Mousse Tart falls more into the "dessert" category, these Cherry Cream Cheese Danishes are ideal to serve as a tea-time treat or a fancy brunch. The Danishes are best served straight from the oven (while the pastry is still crisp and the filling warm and bubbly) but what I love about this recipe is that you can make all the elements ahead of time, then simply assemble before serving and have them on the table in...

As the mornings get colder and darker, I've got long, lazy brunches on my mind. Since we can't go to our fave restaurant for this luxury, I suggest spoiling yourself at home! These crispy, puffed pancakes topped with fresh banana and boozy rum butterscotch sauce make for a decadent brunch if ever there was one. Even better if you can convince someone to serve you brekkie in bed! Dutch baby pancakes are similar to Yorkshire puddings in that they contain no raising agent, yet puff up beautifully in the oven. Steam is what causes them to rise, so it's important to...

Breakfast & Brunch, Muffins & Buns, Recipes / 29.07.2022

If the thought of oats brings to mind bland, stodgy porridge, then I highly recommend you try these Baked Oat Cups instead! They may look and taste like muffins but they're actually a pretty nutritious snack. Made with oats, yoghurt, eggs, and honey, they're perfect for adding to lunchboxes or enjoying as a breakfast on the go (we all have those hectic mornings where there is just no time for anything else!). Whether you go for the fruity, apple baked oats or slightly more indulgent peanut butter choc-chip version, they're incredibly quick and easy to make - just pop everything...

Muffins are a fabulous quick and easy bake, perfect for when that mid-week craving kicks in but the mid-week energy is flagging! Unlike cake and cupcake batters which generally require some heavy-duty creaming or beating, muffin batters must be mixed very gently to avoid the formation of "tunnels". This means you can whip up a batch of muffins in no time at all, and need little more than a bowl and spatula or wooden spoon!Using fresh strawberry pieces, as well as extra-fruity Lancewood Low Fat Strawberry Yoghurt in this batter results in a super-intense strawberry flavour. The addition of yoghurt...

I absolutely love double cream yoghurt, and enjoy it almost daily for breakfast with fruit and granola. The vanilla flavoured Double Cream yoghurt from Lancewood is sooo thick and creamy, and contains real vanilla seeds -it's my absolute favourite! I planned to use it to make a dessert, but this baked yoghurt with spiced plums could be served as a decadent breakfast or brunch too. The baked yoghurt recipe is just 3 ingredients all whisked together - it couldn't be easier! The only bit of effort required is baking it in a water-bath, which ensures it bakes evenly and doesn't...

Custard Yoghurt Toast went viral on TikTok earlier this year, and although I'm a bit late to the party I'm so glad I tried it out! It's made with a few basic ingredients - bread, double cream yoghurt, egg and honey and takes just 10 minutes to whip up. Whether you enjoy it for breakfast, dessert or an anytime snack, you're going to love the creamy custardy texture combined with the crunchy toast - yum!The traditional version features a vanilla custard topped with berries (usually strawberries) but I've developed a chocolate and almond version too. I'd love to know if...

Breakfast & Brunch, Recipes, Tarts & Pastries / 03.05.2022

You may be surprised to find a somewhat healthier post happening today! However, I can assure you this Granadilla and Granola Breakfast Tart is healthy enough to have for breakfast, but still decadent enough to feel like an absolute treat. I first tested out this recipe for Easter brunch and was not very impressed with the result. The yoghurt filling very quickly made the granola base soggy. I could barely slice it, it was such a mess. Luckily this problem was easy to solve by simply straining the yoghurt before-hand. This very simple process simply removes excess liquid and...

Nothing says "weekend" like a long, lazy brunch. Preferably something indulgent, enjoyed with family and friends at a leisurely pace. And what could be more fun than a customisable brunch where each person can make their own personal favourite waffle stack? I love making waffles for brunch, because a) who doesn't love waffles, and b) they can be made in advance! Yes that's right, you can make your waffles days (or even weeks) in advance and freeze them, then simply pop them in the toaster to heat (no need to defrost first). To create this beautiful DIY waffle platter,...

A Babka is a braided bread that has been around since the 1800's. It originates from the Jewish communities in Eastern Europe and was originally made with excess challah dough which was rolled up with jam or cinnamon. Recently, babka's have gained in popularity in the United States too. This is thanks to an Israeli bakery that opened in New York about 10 years ago, selling all types of babka's including a chocolate variety which has become world-famous! Babka has been on my "to bake" list for ages, but I wanted to try a non-traditional filling. For those who follow...

Let me tell you a little bit about Zola Nene. Not only is she an extremely talented chef, TV show host and cookbook author, she is also one of the friendliest and bubbliest people I have ever met! To add to her incredible achievements, recently Zola featured on Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted where she teaches the multi-Michelin starred chef how to cook authentic Zulu cuisine!A few weeks ago I bought Zola's second book - Simply Zola. It is absolutely packed with a wide range of delicious, approachable recipes. The chapter that really caught my eye (apart from the desserts, of course)...
