I LOVE a good focaccia (as does at minimum one of my friends…you know who you are!). I usually make a sourdough focaccia because I love the gorgeous bubbly, soft and crispy texture of a sourdough focaccia. But a friend from work recently asked me for a yeasted focaccia recipe so I decided to develop side-by-side, and equivalent sourdough and yeasted focaccia recipe!

It’s good to have a reliable easy pastry recipe in your arsenal. Very little beats a good shortcrust; buttery, short, crisp, delicious…Need I say more?

I’ve often been stuck with leftover bits ‘n bobs. Whether it’s roast chicken, veggies, cheese, brocolli, or smoked salmon, most things can be plonked in a pastry case, have a simple egg custard poured over them, topped with cheese, and baked into a delicious quiche!

Crispy, flaky layers and buttery moreish-ness… If you ever thought you couldn’t make your own puff pastry, I’m here to tell you that you can! (and should)

Good news… This is the most delicious and decadent fondant you’ll have in your life. Bad news… You’ll have to order something different for dessert the next time you eat out!

Don’t let raspberries go to waste with this yummy creation.

Rich, cheesy and delicious lasagne

Crispy, buttery, flaky goodness and nowhere near as complicated as you’d think! Breakfast here we come!

I use Mathews Cotswold flour for this and it is amazing!

You thought hot cross buns were good? Wait ‘til you have one of these straight out the oven.

Brown butter choc chip cookies are unreal and you have not lived until you have tried this. You can freeze the dough and bake some later… if it lasts that long.

Having started my sourdough journey in lockdown, it’s now one of my favourite things to make!

Simple, delicious baked cheesecake.

I’m always happy to share mine but there is something special about creating your own.
