Happy Christmas Eve everyone! I hope you’ve got a wonderfully festive day planned and that you don’t have too much boring organising to do! We’re planning a day of puppy walks, Christmas wrapping, baking, board games and Christmas films, well once Lau finishes work anyway. Just perfect! One of the things we’re going to ‘bake’… Read more »

In the Kitchen: Festive Bakes #4 – Melted Snowmen Biscuits
This time next week it’ll be Christmas Eve and I won’t be at work and it’ll be properly Christmas and oh my goodness I CAN’T wait! This week has been particularly hellish, so the thought of Christmas being just a week away is amazing. And to be honest, the only thing getting me through. Well… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Festive Bakes #3 – Gingerbread
I’m sure I’ve mentioned many times before just how much I love gingerbread at Christmas time, it’s definitely no secret! Anyway, it’s becoming something of a tradition for me to make a batch for my work colleagues in the run up to Christmas. This year is no exception and I’ve once again donned the oven… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Festive Bakes #2 – Mince Pies
So for week two of our festive bakes series, we’re talking mince pies! For as long as I can remember my Mum’s been in charge of the mince pie baking each Christmas. I’d often lend a hand by cutting out the stars for the tops, but generally I was always focused on decorating the Christmas… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Festive Bakes #1 – Chocolate Penguins
This is the first of a set of seasonal bakes that Fi and I are planning to share on the blog between now and December 25th. Give us a reason to do some sort of themed baking and we’ll be completely on it. Food is such a big part of our Christmas, from sitting down to… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Brilliant Banana Bread with added everything!
Does anyone else buy slightly browning bananas just so they can make banana bread the next day? Tell me I’m not the only one, please? Basically banana bread is my favourite thing ever, the perfect mix of healthy as it’s a bread and packed with fruit, but with enough sugar that it feels like a… Read more »
In The Kitchen: Halloween Bark
Today’s recipe is a quick and easy way to use up any leftover Halloween chocolate. We had two problems this year; one, we over catered on the goodies for trick or treaters and two, we both went away for the evening at the last-minute. Meaning we weren’t actually in to give any sweets out to any dressed… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Chocolate Macarons
I’ve been wanting to macarons for ages and ages and have just never found the time. I’ve always assumed they’d be complicated and take ages so it seemed more sensible to pick up one of those handy little packs from M&S whenever I fancied a morsel of deliciousness. And then the Great British Bake… Read more »
In the Kitchen: Spanish Risotto
It’s been a while since we shared a recipe on the blog, which seems crazy after all the bake off bake along posts, but I suppose life has been busy and there’s been no time at all to get in the kitchen and cook, let alone to write it all up. But thankfully heading off… Read more »
In the Kitchen: The Bake Off Bake Along – A Sugar-Free Cake
For me cinnamon flavoured food just screams autumn days full of long walks through the woods, a countryside filled with green and brown hues, and the comfort of woolly jumpers, boots and scarves. Oh and mittens. Gosh I love autumn, how can you not? As Autumn has most certainly arrived I wanted to properly embrace my… Read more »
