Last week was Desserts week on Great British Bake Off, did you catch it? I remember making a self-saucing pudding when I was baking along with the Desserts episode of the show last year. The puddings this year were all rather daunting – crème brûlée […]
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 […]
When Baking Mad got in touch and asked if I would like to try out one of their vanilla-based recipes using Nielsen-Massey vanilla extract, I was very keen to do so. The scent of vanilla has to be one of my favourites in baking, and […]
Read on for my easy recipe for Slow Cooker Apple and Raspberry Oaty Crumble! Although the summer term at school has now started, there was still a little chill in the air this morning when I took my eldest daughter to school. So, as I […]
Slow Cooker Chocolate Dumplings are very naughty but could be ideal for a sweet chocolate treat for your Valentine! Or if not sophisticated enough for that, it would be the perfect comfort food for a cold winter’s day. Chocolate dumplings, cooked in a rich 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 […]
A berry sponge pudding is a great, quick and easy dessert to make when you are short on time but want to enjoy a pudding with your meal. Tip frozen berries into a dish, make a quick sponge cake mixture, then bake in the oven. […]
I had some lovely fresh limes, and some desiccated coconut left over from my recent coconut and lime and chocolate and coconut cakes (here and here) so thought I would try a self saucing pudding with lime sauce. I had recently seen a couple of […]
