Baking for guests: Gluten-Free Banana (and Chocolate Chip) Cake.
This weekend I had the last of our visitors for a while, two of our awesome friends from Bristol, one of whom I used to work with, and who we had a reciprocal cat-sitting arrangement with. I think they were just as excited (if not more so) to see our cats as they were to […]

This day last year, we had everyone round to our house and whipped up a whole load of pancakes for everyone, in our annual Pancake Day Pancakeathon. This year is slightly different, as we don’t have oodles of people to […]
Banana, Coconut, and Oat Cookies.

Banana, Chocolate and Ginger Softies
After seeing I think the 20th place, we have finally come to a decision on places to live. Hurrah! No more endlessly looking for places, touring around places…… It gets kinda dull after a while. One of our things we were looking for was lots of storage, and a nice big kitchen for me to […]

This week of the Bake Off, week 4, the technical challenge was Creme Caramel, the signature and showstoppers were tortes and layered meringues… They didn’t much […]
Baking with Herman: take 7 – Banoffee Herman.
This post was a bit delayed I’m afraid, this week has been super hectic. It is also going to be the last Herman post for a while, I’ve ran out of inspiration temporarily, and want the freedom to explore making other things. I have enjoyed playing with the Herman recipe, and it has given me […]
Baking with Herman: take 5 – two variations: Coconut and Cardamom, and Banana, Chocolate, and Ginger.
Yey! It’s Herman bake day! I had been dying to make something with Cardamom, ever since I had some Cardamom shortbread at the Better Food Company (it was tasty). I also had picked up some of this: So from that, came this…. —————————————————————————————————- Coconut and Cardamom Herman Recipe Ingredients 250ml coconut cream a good handful […]
Baking with Herman: Take 2 – 3 variations on Herman
Over the past week or so, while I have been stirring and feeding Herman ready for the next split, I have often felt my mind wander to what could I try next? What could work? What would I like? Yesterday was Herman split day…. So today is Herman bake day. I decided on making a […]
