Bananas! Over the festive season, I stumbled upon a fabulous looking dessert and I just had to try my own version. This is quick, easy, and perfect for everyone – whether you’re a dessert pro or just starting out. With only three main ingredients – banana, a sweet spread, and puff pastry (light or gluten-free options work too!), it’s a…
Comforting soup for chilly days! I hope you’re all settling back into some sort of routine after the festive season. I’ve been experimenting with new winter-friendly recipes and have come up with the perfect seasonal soup! Tonight, we’re apparently in for temperatures of -5°C here, so I definitely need something warming for dinner. This soup actually came about thanks to…
Festive Fun. First of all, I’d like to wish you all a joyful and restful festive season – whatever that may look like for you. Whether you’re celebrating with loved ones, taking time to unwind away from home, or simply enjoying cosy moments in front of the tv, I hope this season brings you plenty of warmth, happiness, and a…
Biscoff! If you’ve ever had a caramelised biscuit alongside your coffee, chances are it was Biscoff. With its warm, spiced flavour and crisp texture, this Belgian classic has become a firm favourite in the U.K., and it’s accidentally vegan. While Lotus Bakeries is the original maker of Biscoff, you can now find similar speculoos biscuits from other brands in most…
Pumpkin! Another busy week for me but finally I am getting somewhere! I’m so organised this week, I managed to create not one but two new pumpkin recipes for you! Both recipes can be created with any type of pumpkin or squash. Choose your favourite colour – yellow, red, green, orange, white or something in between! I used a green…
This week, as the weather has turned decidedly autumnal and the days grow noticeably shorter, there’s been a lot of tea drinking! Of course, if you’re in the UK, you’ll know there’s nothing quite like curling up with a hot cup of tea and a plate of biscuits. With The Great British Bake Off diving into Biscuit Week, it’s the…
End of Summer! This week has brought a definite shift in the weather. My garden is covered with leaves, and no sooner do I rake them up, more take their place. The rain has been hammering it down, and the air feels noticeably different. Have you sensed it too? That sudden change in the air? It’s cooler now, not just…
Chickpeas! This week we’re going back to one of my favourite foods – the chickpea! Also known as garbanzo, gram, or chana, depending on where you’re from. Chickpeas come in two main colours – white (kabuli) and brown (desi) varieties. To make things confusing, the word ‘hummus’ in Arabic literally translates to ‘chickpeas’! If you’re asking for hummus in some…
