If Tim Tams were unavailable to you as a child (or even as an adult), this recipe name might confuse you. Tim Tams are a chocolate covered chocolate biscuit, with a cream filling in the middle. And they are delicious. As part of episode two of The Great British Bake Off, the bakers had to…

Lemon Angel Cake Slice
Season 10 of The Great British Bake Off has begun, and I’d like to try and bake something inspired by each episode, if possible. I’m not much of a decorator, so I’m never going to decorate them quite like the bakers on GBBO do, but we’ll see how we go. If you’ve never watched Bake…
Gluten-Free White Chocolate, Cardamom and Raspberry Tart
My dad emails me recipes almost on a weekly basis. Things he sees that he likes the look of, recipes he thinks I would like to make, recipes he’s tried and thinks I would like, you get the idea. I tend to save all of these recipes as bookmarks on my computer, something I can…
Chocolate-Dipped Pistachio Shortbread
After making the Orange Almond Cake, there was an abundance of pistachios left over that needed using up. So what else was I to do but make pistachio shortbread? This does require an oven, but it is for such a short time that you’ll be forgiven for using your oven while it’s still humid and…
Frozen Berry Pie
I made this pie as a break from the oven, as the temperatures in the UK had been soaring. Funnily enough, on the day I made it, there were torrential down pours, and so it wasn’t quite the hot summer’s day I’d planned for. Luckily, it still tasted delicious and was a refreshing dessert regardless…
Orange Almond Cake
This summer has been all about catching up with friends and family. If you read my previous two posts, you’ll know that I was staying with my godmother for a few days. From hers I drove up to Sheffield for a Zoo Crew Reunion. Having done Zoology at University, my fellow zoologists and I named…
Lemon Lime Yoghurt Cake
It’s been a hectic first week of holidays, with seeing friends and family, while also being a bridesmaid for one of my best friends. I have eaten a lot of delicious food, and had lots of amazing meals made for me. I haven’t done much cooking, except for the occasional stir-frying of vegetables. Now that…
Walnut & Chocolate Chip Brownies
Yep. You better believe that the last recipe of the school year is a brownie recipe. I warned you that this blog could turn into a brownie blog over time. It’s already started! But these are the best, fudgy-on-the-inside, crispy-on-the-outside brownies ever. I apologise for being so quiet the past couple of weeks. We’ve been…
Vanilla Coconut Protein Balls
I’ve recently started going to Strongman sessions, which I am still in love with. It starts at an awkward time for me, at 11am, because I’m usually the type of person to get up early and have an early breakfast, then have lunch by 12. But I’ve had to mix my schedule up a bit…
Carrot Cake Cheesecake
Sometimes the thought of combining two amazing meals horrifies me. Why would we want to risk creating Frankenstein’s monster when the original is so damn good. But, if people never tried something new, we’d be stuck without the wheel or electricity, so I understand the excitement. Back in March a friend sent me a video…
Cranberry Skillet Brownie
I feel like by the time I decide to stop adding to this blog, I’ll have 2 dozen brownie recipes on here for you to bake. I’m still a staunch believer in the basic, fudgy brownie, but I also feel that sometimes you need to shake things up a bit. Especially when you’ve got frozen…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes
Chocolate and peanut butter is such a classic combination. The sweet and the salty, it makes for great desserts (and sandwich fillings when you’re a broke University student). It’s funny though, the rest of my family are not peanut butter fans. Just another thing that makes me the odd one out in my family. Not…
