Strawberry Pie

The facts were these… So I missed posting last week but it actually lands perfectly for Mother’s Day. So it’s S1:E5 of Pushing Daisies and we see the extent of Ned’s magical powers of bringing dead things back to life in the form of pie. Narrator: The Pie Maker stared at the ripe strawberry that had…

Kiwi Pie

The facts were these… First off, a happy St Davids Day to my fellow Welsh folk! It’d be a stretch to say this pie is remotely related to celebration so I’m not even going to try. I took a break from pies last week as I was starting to feel more pastry than person. This…

Pear and Gruyére Pie

The facts were these… Happy Valentine’s Day! Yes, we’re still sticking with the pie theme but I did attempt a plaited heart in the centre for the occasion. I suppose Pushing Daisies is a romance – albeit a wierd one – which still makes it fitting for the day. This week I tackled what is…

Triple Berry Pie

The facts were these… Apologies it’s been a little over a week but university work causes disruptions to the usual programming. I hope you enjoyed last week’s pie and have maybe started watching the show yourself! I’ve really been having fun with this series so far as pies are so straightforward to make it allows…

Pumpkin Pie

Just to say Happy Halloween! Today is Halloween, the pinnacle of pumpkin season. What better way to use up some of the pumpkins you might have lying around than in a pie! A pumpkin pie is very much an American dessert and not something you find very often in the UK. As such getting hold…

Coffee Walnut Blondies

Just a bit of intro This recipe is a modern twist on a coffee walnut sponge. Brownies and blondies are so popular these days and for good reason; They’re easy to make, transport well and their dense texture mean they last better than a light sponge. I went all out on decoration for this one…

Viennese Biscuits

Just a word from me The Great British Bake Off is back on our television sets and if you’re anything like me after watching an episode, you’ll be craving whatever they bake for the rest of the week. This week is biscuit week and i’ve got you covered. these are really easy to make and…

Blissful Biscoff Cheesecake

Just a little message from me Hello! I’ve had quite a few new followers recently so I’ll fully introduce myself soon (very soon). I know I promised you this recipe last week but better late than never hey! I kind of winged the recipe the first time I made this cheesecake, using my trusty vanilla…

Vanilla Cheesecake

Just to get back to basics A friend recently asked me for a recipe for a vanilla cheesecake and it occurred to me that I’ve never actually made one before. Whenever I make cheesecake its always something like chocolate or caramel; which are by no means exotic flavours but can sometimes be quite sickly and…

Balsamic Peaches

Just a quick one This recipe is probably one of the most simple, yet delicious things you can make in hardly any time at all. It sounds incredibly fancy but really it only takes four ingredients thrown together. I’m saying to use peaches but any fruit of that variety will work e.g. nectarines or plums….
