This is your no-fuss, all-fun baking blog, grab a whisk, crank the tunes, and let’s bake up some joy.
No Bake Panettone Strawberry Gelato Cake
An easy no bake ice cream cake, perfect for summer and Christmas parties!
Zucchini Lime Cake with Lime Cream Cheese Frosting
Zucchini in a cake might sound like a stretch, but stay with me. It keeps the crumb incredibly moist, it completely disappears into the batter, and paired with a generous amount of lime it makes for one of the most refreshing cakes I’ve made in a long time.
Elliot's Tarte Tropézienne
A pillowy soft brioche filled with rich pastry cream, it is the kind of thing that stops you in your tracks at a patisserie window and then refuses to leave your mind until you've worked out how to make it at home.
Spaghetti Vongole
This Spaghetti Vongole comes together in minutes, we are talking about 5 minutes of actual cooking, which means more time with your guests and less time in the kitchen. That is the kind of hosting I am here for.
Asparagus & Ricotta Puff Pastry Tart
This Asparagus and Ricotta Puff Pastry Tart is one of the first things I make, a bright, herby, beautiful tart that feels like spring on a plate. Perfect for lunch at home, brilliant if you're hosting, and genuinely one of the best things you can pack up and take to work.
Chocolate Orange Mousse with Olive Oil & Sea Salt
This Chocolate Orange Mousse takes me straight back to my favourite chocolate as a kid, if you grew up breaking apart a Terry's Chocolate Orange, you already know exactly where this is going.
Loaded Sourdough Focaccia
This started as a way to use up a focaccia and turned into one of my favourite things to serve at a table. The base is my Lazy Sourdough Focaccia, chewy, golden and full of flavour, loaded with a vibrant avo and pea dip, generous layers of ham, a drizzle of really good olive oil and enough parmesan to make you smile. It's relaxed, it's generous and it disappears fast.
Lazy Sourdough Focaccia
This is sourdough for people who want great bread without the fuss. Mix it, leave it, bake it. The long overnight rest does all the work for you.
Pork, Fennel & Date Sausage Rolls
Easy pork, fennel and date sausage rolls made in the oven or air fryer, flaky, flavourful and perfect for batch cooking and freezing.
Party Lamingtons
Who doesn't love a party, and these Party Lamingtons are a great way to get it started. One layer, no stacking, just a quick easy sponge with jam piped in and cream piped on top, fun, festive, and looking like you put in far more effort than you actually did.
Mini Sticky Date Puddings
Winter dessert just had an upgrade. A cannelle pan makes the most beautiful shape here but a standard muffin tin works perfectly well — don't let the tin stop you making these.
The Yorkshire Pudding Plate
This is the showstopper. The same Yorkshire pudding batter poured into a low-sided cake tin creates one giant Yorkshire pudding that acts as the plate itself, then you fill it with a full roast dinner.
Mini Yorkshire Pudding Canapés
There's a Delia Smith recipe that has been doing the rounds at Christmas parties for decades, and these Mini Yorkshire Pudding Canapés are very much in that same spirit, unpretentious, crowd-pleasing, and the first thing to disappear from the table every single time. They've become a firm fixture at Christmas in my world, but honestly any gathering that deserves a proper canapé moment is a good excuse to make them.
Classic Yorkshire Puddings
Yorkshire Puddings are one of life's great joys, cheap to make, impossible not to love, and absolutely guaranteed a love for kids. They've been a childhood favourite for generations and honestly, I don't see that changing anytime soon. Simple ingredients, maximum impact.
Moccamaster Tiramisu
Tiramisu is one of those desserts I will never get tired of making, or eating. Traditionally you'd reach for espresso, but filter coffee brewed through a Moccamaster brings something a little different to the party. The lighter body and those beautiful, clean coffee notes work perfectly here in a way that might surprise you.
Sourdough Pullman Loaf
It's been years since I bought a loaf of bread. Once you know what goes into a supermarket loaf, the gums, the additives, the preservatives, it's pretty hard to go back. This recipe needs time, but is oh so worth it!
Poached Pear & Macadamia Brownies
Brownies are brilliant on their own, but poached pears and macadamias? Now we're talking. This is one of my favourite ways to take something already delicious and just nudge it into something a little bit special. A simple pimped brownie that looks and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did.
Puff Pastry Almond Tarts with Poached Pear
A proper Frangipane Pear Tart will always have my heart, but sometimes you want all of that flavour without the pastry work, and that's exactly where these come in. Quick, easy, and just as delicious, these are the kind of thing you can pull together without a second thought.
Poached Pears
This is my go-to recipe and it couldn't be simpler, the pears do most of the work. I hope you love them as much as I do.
Air Fryer Apple Pies
These Air Fryer Apple Pies were born from my Lattice Apple Pie scaled down, sped up, and made for kitchens that don't always have all the gear.
