Chocolate Peppermint Creams

December 12, 2017 By Amy Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you but alongside spending time with family, my favourite part of Christmas is the food! From something sweet for breakfast (lets be honest, it’s usually a selection box!) to turkey with all the trimming for dinner, as well as all the Roses, Celebrations & Heroes in between. But by the end of the day when bellies are full, there’s always room for one more thing; after dinner mints! And these Chocolate Peppermint Creams are the perfect home made festive treat that anyone can make.Read More

November 10, 2017 By Amy 9 Comments

I love chocolate. Like more than life itself. I eat it each & every day and definitely consider it to be an essential food group of it’s own. So I’m sure you can understand my excitement in teaming up with Lily O’brien’s to create a desert inspired by their delicious chocolatesRead More

Banana Nutella Loaf

October 30, 2017 By Amy Leave a Comment

Confession time… I’m not a big fan of Nutella. I know, shock-horror – a major chocoholic like myself, it doesn’t make sense. Don’t get me wrong, I will eat it when it’s part of recipe but I’m not a eating-it-from-the-jar kind of girl. That being said, I can appreciate the combo of Nutella and bananas, especially since my youngest, David, has recently taken a loving to “Butella”. Granny had mentioned this combo of Nutella in Banana Loaf and it seemed like the perfect treat for David.Read More

Cheese Bread Sticks

October 18, 2017 By Amy 1 Comment

It used to be a running joke it my family that I could eat my parents out of house & home, something I am now experiencing with my own two kids. At only 3ft tall, the amount of food they can pack away is terrifying. How am I going to afford to keep them as teenagers?! As such we always need a good supply of snacks – preferably things that won’t send our dentist into cardiac arrest. Cheesy Bread Sticks have always been a winner with my two and with the schools in Edinburgh being off this week for half term, we decided to get baking and make some of our own.Read More

So when Maryland’s Cookie Thins were brought to my attention and I was asked to create a recipe which featured this delicious little biscuits, it only seemed right to make an Ice Cream Cake with Maryland Cookie Thins!Read More

Angel Cake

September 18, 2017 By Amy 11 Comments

Growing up with Granny baking at home, people are always shocked to find out that as kids, myself and my sisters weren’t big cake fans. We’d always have beautiful birthday cakes created by Granny but we would never have much interest in actually eating them. However there’s one person who has always been loyal to eating Granny’s cakes – that is Papa. Perhaps that is why the tale of his 40th Birthday Angel Cake is all the more facetious.

I’ve been a not-so-secret mission for a while now. One that has involved some pretty rubbish bakes, and some which are good but not quite good enough. Recipes tweaked and altered to within an inch of their lives… This mission I speak of? The perfect Fruit Scones!Read More
