Well, did everyone watch the Great British Bake Off final? I won’t give away any spoilers here but I loved this series and was delighted for the winner. I had a day off on Wednesday so I decided I had to make a cake to have while watching the final. I wanted something simple […]

Chocolate Mousse
I have decided that I need to do more chocolate recipes – any excuse! So my new aim is to do one chocolate recipe every month. This is my most recent fix for my chocolate habit. I was hoping to do Tom Kerridge’s mousse from his Proper Pub Food but it required the use of […]
Cheats Chocolate Ganache Tarts
Sometimes life is just too short to make pastry. There are times when you have a crowd for a meal, you want to have a choice of desserts but just don’t have the time to make everything from scratch. This is when these tarts come into their own – easy, inexpensive and still very impressive.
White Chocolate and Passionfruit Mousse
I was a little reluctant to try this dessert from Nigella’s Forever Summer. I’m not a big fan of white chocolate as I find it a bit sweet. However the passionfruit is sharp enough to cut through the chocolate, making this a really pleasant mousse.
Chocolate Silk Pie
In case you have not had enough chocolate over Easter, I’m bringing you another chocolate recipe! If you have leftover Easter eggs and are not sure what to do with them you could make this pie. It is another recipe adapted from Deb Perelman’s Smitten Kitchen. It is a very decadent but so easy, […]

I did read that butter in a recipe can be substituted with margarine (no thanks!) or sunflower or vegetable oil. I wasn’t sure if […]
