This is what happen when you are clocking over one year of staying at home ( Covid-19 to be blamed) and want to please all the family members! I bought a delicious Challah bread from the amazing Karma Bread in London and wanted to make French toast, my sister was fancying croquet-monsieur and Ryan just…

Banana and Apple Bread
Banana bread is such a versatile and delicious snack. I love it plain, with the addition of nuts and chocolate chips or, as for this recipe, with the addition of apple and plenty of cinnamon!! This recipe is very quick, you can use an electric mixer or just a bowl and whisk to bring all…
Sourdough Pancakes
It is tradition in our family to have a special breakfast on birthdays. When we were children our special breakfast consisted of hot chocolate and cookies, growing up it become pancakes!

There was a time in my life when I had a sort of addiction to Starbucks blueberry muffins. The addiction shifted to the rise and shine…
Marble Cake
From memory the first cake I baked ever. I remember trying various recipes but never getting the right sweetness and rise until I found this recipe. I have no recollection where I found it, whether I got it from a relative of mine or found it on a magazine or recipe book but I recall…
