I like my traybakes seriously pimped up and I’ve done just that with my rocky road brownies. What’s wrong with either rocky road or a brownie? I hear you cry. Well, nothing really.

Creme Egg Madeleines
Most definitely late to the party with this recipe and with Easter pretty much over, I had some creme eggs knocking about and wanted to make something with them that wasn’t a cupcake or a brownie.

Apricot Couronne – The GBBO Technical Bake
This week I have tried to tackle the Great British Bake Off technical challenge – the apricot couronne, but create individual not-so-mini versions! Continue reading
A Smoky, Spicy Ceviche
