Lemon Cheesecake

I was making desserts for an Easter get together and could not make up my mind what to make. Normally I would make something with chocolate because, well, chocolate. But given the fact that everyone was probably going to be gorging on chocolate eggs all day I thought something zingy would do the trick. So […]

Strawberries Cookies and Cream Fridge Cake

Strawberry season is in full swing here and I can’t get enough. I have them for breakfast, as a snack, even in salads, but where they really shine is in a good dessert with cream. At this time of year you don’t want to spend all day in the kitchen baking so a quick make […]

Orange Panna Cotta with Blackberry Sauce and Mini Meringues

Burrata Strawberry and Watermelon Salad

Burrata. I thought I’d never get my hands on it! The lovely people in Iago got some in and kindly let me know. I love my cheese but my level of excitement was bordering on pathetic. I was dying to experiment and this Burrata Strawberry and Watermelon Salad was born.
