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 […]

Strawberry Cake
I had a full punnet of strawberries in the fridge that were about to turn and was looking for something to do with them. Also, it was Great British Bake off evening so I needed to have cake!
