Creamed Sweetcorn and Blueberry Loaf Cake with Zingy Lime Icing​

This delicious, moist and flavourful cake is packed with sweetness from the creamed corn, to the addition of tart blueberry conserve to the hit of lip smacking lime icing.  I know what you are thinking – creamed sweetcorn in a cake? But if you think about it cornbread is good and that is really just a cake made from corn! Trust me it works. I had a can of creamed sweetcorn in the cupboard and it had been there for a while. I wondered what could I come up with using this, apart from soup or succotash - whatever that is. Then I thought that a bit like the addition of pumpkin i ..read more

Zombie Cake Banana Bread

A tempting banana loaf infused with the taste of porter – specifically BrewDog Zombie Cake – which gives it an amazing depth of flavour. Well, since everyone has been in lockdown, it seems we have all taken to using up our foosty (great Scottish word there) bananas in the best way we know how – turning them into banana bread. There is something warm and comforting about banana bread and that is why we are possibly turning to this old favourite, in these difficult times. To add flavour to mine, I decided to add my favourite porter to the mix, as I knew the flavours in Zombie Cake from BrewD ..read more

I always wondered what it would take to get me blogging and now I know – a global pandemic! Hello everyone, in case you have missed me, and I hope you that you are all staying safe and well in these crazy, scary times we are now living in. I have had some time on my hands, like most of you out there. I will be at work some of the time, as I am a key worker, but will be at home for periods too. So I have cleaned the house, tidied the garden, caught up with the seasons I haven’t seen of Chicago Fire, but what else could I do? With Disneyboi fiddling away on the PC upstairs, as he can work f ..read more

White Chocolate and Cranberry Blondie Brittle

This white chocolate and cranberry blondie brittle is a doddle to make and equally as easy to scoff. Let me tell you a story…A few years back, I saw an advert in the back of a magazine for a product called brownie brittle. It was brownies in a crisp, biscuit (cookie) like format. I thought this sounded delicious and set about trying to come up with a recipe of my own for this. Well I did and it proved a popular recipe here on the blog. Making a simple brownie batter, spreading it thin onto a baking sheet and baking it, not once, but twice, like you do biscotti. This meant the results were ..read more

Spicy Apple Chutney

We still had a shed load of apples in the garage (that should be garage load really), left from the trees in the garden. We’d already sickened ourselves of crumbles and pies, so I decided to make something savoury with them instead. And I thought that a chutney would be perfect. It’s thick consistency and sweet, savoury and warming taste is ideal for this time of year. It would make great gifts to hand out at Christmas (sorry for using the C word so soon) and also great for Christmas dinners and shindigs that you may have coming up. I used a basic apple chutney recipe but decided to ..read more

I cracked out my Redmond RMC-M4502E Multicooker again at the weekend. This is the one-stop cooking pot which does all manner of things in the kitchen such as baking, cooking, frying, sterilising, warming, proving dough, making soup, making cheese, you name it, it does it. This time I decided to make a cake for Halloween. It’s a basic sponge recipe, flavoured with coffee and orange. A strange combination I know, but it really works well, And with some additions of food colouring made for a perfect spooky looking treat. I made the sponge batter, then divided this into 2. One half of the ..read more

(Gruesome Green) Pandan Blondies

I made these green Pandan Blondies after picking up some pandan flavouring in my local Chinese supermarket. image source Pandan is a plant grown in South Asia and the leaves are used in a variety of culinary ways. One of which is in pandan flavouring. It is commonly sold in small bottles with green food colouring mixed in with it. The flavour of pandan is like a buttery vanilla, if you can imagine that, with wafts of mild coconut in there too. It really is a gorgeous smell and I thought using the flavouring in blondies would be a great way to showcase the taste. As I was making ..read more

Snickerdoodles with Maple Pecan Filling

4y ago
I love the name of snickerdoodles, very quirky and nonsensical for such a lovely cookie. I hadn’t made them before, which I know is quite strange given my love of all things cinnamon. To the uninitiated a snickerdoodle is a cookie flavoured with cinnamon, then rolled in cinnamon sugar before baking. They are classically a soft chewy cookie, which is just how I like them. They contain cream of tartar as a leavener which gives it a slight acidic tang, balanced well with the cinnamon sugar. Classically that have a cracked top, but mines didn't come out of the oven like that sadly. They still ..read more

It’s almost Easter time. I’m loving the start of spring. Since moving into our home, I have become much more aware of the garden and seasons. I love seeing the flowers growing and the beautiful colours that spring up. And as it’s Easter, I decided to make a traditional hot cross bun recipe but with a bit of a twist. I love the sweetly, spiced buns – perfect with a schmear of butter on top. To change things up however, I cracked out my RMC-M4502E Multicooker from Redmond. This is a great device to have in a kitchen. You can bake, cook, steam, fry almost anything in the multicooker. Ta ..read more

I was recently sent a new product to try out in the kitchen. From Australia, the Delicake Master is from a range of no-bake cakeware, now available in the UK. If you want to be make a no bake cake, such as a cheesecake, or a mousse cake, something like that, then the Delicake Master ensures an easy way to add your ingredients and display them also. For Mother's Day, mum came up and I made her a coconut and pineapple no bake cheesecake, as she adores pineapple. I made this in the Delicake master and it was so easy. I made the usual biscuit base then pressed this into the base of the De ..read more
