‘Eton Mess’ Naked Cake
I don’tend to do much baking on a Monday. Monday’s for me are a day to catch up; I’ve normally spent the weekend working hard at events with my pizza company so household duties tend to take second place. Cleaning, washing, ironing, general admin and emails usually fill the whole day (I know, the excitement 😉 ) however…
Salmon, Crayfish & Avocado Salad with Mango & Basil Dressing
So it appears we may finally be having a summer here in the UK, although it’s probably clouding over as I type. Not only is this new tropical climate helping to boost peoples moods but it also means we can all plan BBQ’s, picnics and trips to the beach. Sunshine and fresh air have numerous…
Red Velvet & Vanilla Baked Cheesecake Wedding Cake
Lots of people told me I was crazy for making my own wedding cake…but then again lots of people say lots of things, so I ignored them and did it anyway! The reason it was so important to me was not because I am a control freak who wanted to take over everything (although I…

Sweet Potato Fish Pie
I love fish pie; to me it’s the ultimate in comfort food. Creamy mashed potatoes and delicate flaking fish scented with fresh dill and just a hint of lemon, all baked until golden, crunchy and molten hot. My tongue has had its fair share of fish pie induced burns, I can never wait until it’s…
Strawberry & Vanilla Pop-Tarts
Food can make us feel nostalgic for certain periods in our life, a smell or taste can bring back vivid memories or evoke feelings from days gone by.

Secondly the gratification that comes from seeing how happy you’ve made someone else. It would take the…
