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…

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…
Maple Pecan Eclairs
Just a quick word from me If you’ve been following the Great British Bake Off this year you’ll know that last week was pastry week and the technical challenge set by Prue and Paul was eclairs. This inspired me to make my own with an autumnal flavour twist. No, they’re not pumpkin but maple and…
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…

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….
Sunday Sticky Toffee
Just a bit of intro To me, a sticky toffee pudding is a British classic. It reminds me of those Sundays when you’ve eaten a huuugggeee roast and can’t possibly eat another bite, and then you see a sticky toffee pudding and suddenly have room for dessert. This was requested by someone on Instagram so…
