I’m officially on a bit of a health kick at the moment, but let’s be honest, I can’t go a day without dessert. It’s just not who I am.

So instead of cutting it out completely, I’ve been getting creative. Finding ways to still enjoy those little end-of-day moments, just built a bit smarter. And today, this Cinnamon Chai Protein Crème Brûlée absolutely hit the spot.

This is one of those recipes that quietly does a lot of heavy lifting during the week. Quick to make, affordable, and built from pantry staples, but still chocolatey enough to feel like a treat.

They’re nut-free, oil-free, no-bake, and built around simple, affordable ingredients. A whole banana for sweetness, prunes for natural binding, carrot for texture, and protein powder to keep you full. No waste, no fancy extras, just smart, functional food that still tastes like a treat.

This is weekday fuel at Elliot’s Table, food that gets you through the week, saves you money, and still feels good to eat.

These Santa Hat Caramel Cookie Cups are one of those Christmas bakes that stop people in their tracks. A soft chocolate chip cookie cup, filled with silky caramel, topped with a fresh strawberry “Santa hat”, and finished with fluffy white chocolate ganache

For World Cake Day, I’m celebrating with the most timeless bake of all:
a Classic Victoria Sponge soft, light, airy, filled with clouds of vanilla cream and fresh berries.
Simple. Elegant. Iconic.

If there’s one bake that brings instant Christmas cheer, it’s this Black Forest Chocolate Cupcake Wreath.

There’s nothing I love more than a festive centrepiece that looks magical, feeds a crowd, and is ridiculously easy to put together. This Christmas Fruit Wreath ticks every single box.

This festive showstopper starts as a rich chocolate slab cake, then transforms into a layered Christmas tree filled with whipped ganache and cherry jam, and finished with luxurious Swiss meringue buttercream.

Delicate, buttery, and irresistibly light, Madeleines are the epitome of French baking elegance. With their golden edges, soft crumb, and signature little hump, these shell-shaped cakes are as beautiful as they are delicious.

Rich, chocolatey, and wickedly fun this Chocolate Orange Bat Cake is the ultimate showstopper for Halloween!

This is the perfect make-ahead dessert for kids’ parties, spooky movie nights, or a fun twist at your Halloween get-together.

It’s soft, fudgy, and deeply chocolatey thanks to a few tricks: blooming the cocoa, melting butter into the mix, and a little hit of coffee for that real café-style richness.

No fancy cake tins, no sticks, no stress - just a store-bought cake, some melted chocolate, and a whole lot of messy Halloween fun!

These cookies are a serious crowd-pleaser, soft, chewy chocolate-chip bases topped with a swirl of whipped dark chocolate ganache, then dipped into a mountain of white chocolate chips for the ultimate triple-chocolate bite.

Red Velvet is one of those cakes that always makes a statement on the table. Tall, dramatic, and with that signature soft crumb, it’s perfect for Christmas, birthdays, or any celebration where you want to impress.

A focaccia that celebrates patience, and the simplicity of good ingredients. The sourdough base delivers deep flavor and a light, open crumb.

Sometimes, all you want is a really good cookie, crisp at the edges, soft in the centre, and loaded with chocolate. These Milk Chocolate Cookies are big, indulgent, and exactly what you’d expect to find in a bakery display.

It’s marmalade season, and if you can get your hands on Seville oranges, I highly recommend making your own. Homemade marmalade has a depth of flavour that shop-bought simply can’t match — bitter, sweet, and bright all at once.

There’s nothing better than filling the kitchen with the smell of bubbling fruit. Pies, puddings, crumbles — if it’s fruity and warm, I’m baking it.
