Easy Brown Bread

This is a very easy brown bread that can be whipped up in minutes with no need for proving or rising.

Easy Breakfast Burritos

Red Onion and Goats Cheese Tart

This is one of my go-to starters. It is very simple to make, tasty and the red onion marmalade can be made in advance. You can make it vegetarian once you are sure the pastry you are using is suitable. I use shop bought puff pastry. I tried making it once with homemade shortcrust pastry […]
