It’s still pumpkin season, so let’s make pumpkin pie tarts. Just as good as a big pumpkin pie, but a little more pastry to filling ratio! These sweet little tarts are a big dessert for one person (or maybe not!) or nice to share with a special someone after a big dinner. Easy to handle pastry The pastry for these […]
Working with pumpkin ‘goop’ I’m always happy for pumpkin season. Yes, there’s probably too much pumpkin flavoured stuff out there, but so much of it tastes so very nice. I didn’t have a good start to my pumpkin experience though. As a teenager, my first exposure was to pumpkin pie that was slimy and over-spiced, as well as being encased […]

I love doughnuts! All of them really … but chocolate doughnuts are my favourite. I have made many different types, both baked and deep fried. A really nice thing about this recipe, no need for a mixer. Two bowls only, so minimal washing up! Easy baked chocolate doughnuts are worth your time! Soft, chocolatey and easy to make doughnuts This […]
So, you want to bake sourdough bread that looks and tastes like it came from an Artisanal bakery? Well, you basically can. Planning and a cast iron pot are the two things you need.
