Recipe – Classic Treacle Sponge
I’ve been thinking a lot about comfort food. I think it’s all the rainy weekends we’ve been having. My Nan was a master of traditional puddings like jam roly poly and treacle sponge so I thought I’d have a go at the latter. It’s really easy to throw together but you do need the right…
Recipe – Spanish Omelette with Smoked Bacon
We all know Stacey’s mum makes a mean omelette (and very little else) in Gavin and Stacey. A really easy meal centre for a midweek meal but a Spanish Omelette is a simple meal centre for the whole family. It only takes half an hour and can be thrown together. You can chop and change…
Recipe – Strawberry Jelly
I searched high and low on the internet for a recipe for a bog-standard strawberry jelly, as I was making a trifle for Christmas. Could I find one without something silly like elderflower or Prosecco in it? No! So I made up a recipe myself and it worked a treat. The flavour is like nothing…
Recipe – Cinnamon Roll Ice Cream
I love cinnamon rolls – the Starbucks cinnamon swirl is a total addiction and the fact I work for the company that bakes it makes it worse! In my view, the guys at Fabrique Bakery do the best cinnamon rolls in London and I recently purchased a load there. With a couple left over, couldn’t…
Recipe – Squash, Ginger and Chilli Soup (Vegan and good with Pumpkin too!)
Autumn is a double whammy, the weather closes in and soup becomes more appealing, and we get a glut of squash and pumpkin.

Recipe – Battenberg Cake
Iconic! There is no better word. Developed for when Queen Victoria’s daughter married a prince from Battenberg, it’s a classic British cake. For best results you need this specialist tin from Lakeland, however you can use two normal 20x15cm straight sided cake tins but you need to make two cakes, doubling the quantities below and…

Recipe – Chocolate and Beetroot Cake
Yes, that’s correct! A chocolate and beetroot cake. It’s far better than it sounds, the beetroot gives you a fabulous colour and moistness with only a hint of beetroot flavour. There are a few recipes online that don’t really work but this is my version, which uses chocolate chips in the batter, you could melt…
Recipe – Chunky Apple and Cinnamon Cake
The start of autumn brings us lots of windfall fruit, especially apples and pears. There are some wonderful British apple varieties and many of them make a lovely apple cake. This cake can be frozen so if you have a lot of apples, make a lot of cake! You will need: 225g self raising flour…
