From a foodie point of view, Easter is definitely my favourite holiday. Who wouldn't love a holiday that involves large amounts of chocolate and spicy hot cross buns! For someone who loves to bake like me, I never have a shortage of ideas around this time of year. Rocky road may not be the most sophisticated of these ideas, however, I can guarantee you it will bring a smile to even the grumpiest of faces! The variety of textures is what makes rocky road so delicious - a bit of crunch, a bit of marshmallowy softness, crisp sugary shells and lots...

Crème Caramel was hugely popular in the 80's but has sadly disappeared from restaurant menu's in recent times (Flamby is also no longer around). As a throwback to those happy days, I decided to try my hand at making my own version and could not quite believe just...

Biscuits & Cookies, Recipes / 31.01.2020

With a rich buttery flavour and crisp texture, vanilla butter cookies are just perfect in their simplicity! They're absolutely delicious as is, but can also be iced or dipped in chocolate. I’m still rather obsessed with caramelised white chocolate so I chose to use it to sandwich two cookies together for an extra indulgent treat. As simple as these cookies are, a few little tips can really help you perfect them. Splurge a little and use real vanilla paste or extract - not only will you be able to see the little vanilla seeds in the cookies, but the authentic...
