Bank Holiday Baking: Cheese and Spring Onion Cake recipe
It’s 25 degrees outside, it’s beautifully sunny and what do I think of when I wake up? Cake. Not just any old cake mind; this is a posh French savoury cake known as cake salé. I first tried a version … Continue reading
Breakfast in Holland: the uitsmijter
I’m on the train to The Hague via Brussels and I’m looking forward, as I always do when travelling, to the food. Especially breakfast. I’m always more excited by eating breakfast abroad than any other meal (okay a drink and … Continue reading

Banana, Nut and Chocolate Muffins
I should call this post ‘why this blog was invented’ but it doesn’t sound as appetising as its current title. Muffins were one of the first things I ever baked and, as the photo below shows, I’ve used this recipe … Continue reading
G is for Granola
I love waking up on a Saturday. It’s a day fat with possibilities and the first possibility I think of is breakfast. Whereas in the week breakfast is a hurried and standing affair, at the weekend I can sit down … Continue reading
