NERGI® kiwi berries are a new berry fruit I have never seen before, how about you? They may look like baby kiwis but they are actually an unrelated kind of berry that has been grown in Asia for several hundred years. Since 2013 they have been […]
I would not normally attempt such a complicated recipe but since they made Charlotte russe on GBBO last week I decided to give it a try. Having seen the way it was assembled, and that clear defined layers of bavarois and jelly were the aim, […]
Recipe for a magnificent layered meringue cake, inspired by the Great British Bake Off. This indulgent dessert is perfect for entertaining in the summertime.
I wasn’t planning on blogging this recipe but it turned out to be very tasty so I thought it would be good to keep a record of it here, and share it with you, my readers, of course! Yet again I took my children to […]
Delicious brioche and strawberry pudding made in the slow cooker! Why not treat yourself to a summery dessert that is so easy to make. Although it seems to be summer now (at last, hasn’t it been a long time coming), I think there are still […]

Last week on British Bakeoff was Patisserie week and also the semi-finals, so I was rather worried about what to make this week for #GreatBloggersBakeOff and GBBO Bake-along! I am not that keen on Baklava, have a ridiculous grill which ruled out the Schichttorte, and […]
I have just come back from a week’s holiday in France, near La Rochelle, but I just had to get baking for Desserts week on Great British Bake-Off! I had some lovely blueberries and thought I’d make one of these self-saucing puddings as I have […]
I love the refreshing taste of lemon curd but during the summer I like to try all the different summer fruits. I’ve baked with redcurrants, cherries, blackcurrants (in this lovely blackcurrant focaccia), mango and blueberries, as well as the usual strawberries and raspberries already this […]
