American bakes are my weakness. I’ve been coming up with my own take on a few of them for a long time – some of which have made it on to this blog, including numerous brownies and cookies, Lady Baltimore cake (not vegan but she’s a beaut), Pumpkin Pie, Grasshopper Pie and now Boston Cream Pie, [ ]
I never was the most prolific writer of posts, but the gap between this and the previous one is pretty impressive, even for me. Life does have a habit of whisking time away, and last year I found myself consumed entirely by grief and stress on a scale I have never experienced. Last April, I [ ]
Vegan Custard / Iced Slices Whether you know it as a custard slice, iced slice, or even a vanilla slice this lovely retro bake is well worth revisiting. I have such fond memories of weekend outings with my grandparents. Transported by my Grandad’s green Vauxhall Viva, and armed with flasks of tea and foil-wrapped [ ]
Vegan Frangelico Tiramisu Tiramisu was probably the most sophisticated thing I ever ate as a teen. It was the glamorous choice on any menu, and the phase when it was considered naff alongside Black Forest Gateau passed me by entirely. Despite my soft spot for tiramisu, I’d never once made my own, until [ ]
Long-term readers of this blog will know that I love a Eurovision-inspired bake, and this one is a belter! Researching the host country s traditional recipes and deciding which one to use can take some time but not this year, as Eurovision is beamed live to your tellybox from Turin, Italy. This is very happy-making [ ]
Veganising Nigella: The Chocolate Malteser Cake We did it! We finally left London and swapped our apartment for a house near the sea. We had considered leaving the capital many times over the years but lockdown gave us the final nudge we needed. Despite occasionally forgetting that I no longer have access to the tube [ ]
It s about time I posted a recipe for trifle. The UK s scorching heatwave has eased now, but it s still summer and nothing beats a chilled dessert. If you re bored of Calipos and can muster a little strength in the kitchen, I promise this trifle will be worth the effort! The steps aren t difficult but [ ]
Vegan Jammy Ripple Loaf Cake Moving house is a drag, isn’t it? Especially when the process is hindered, and the inevitable upheaval is delayed; in our case, due to the sale falling through. Back to the drawing board. As anyone who has sold a property will testify, one of the joys of accepting an offer [ ]
There is a tantalising and nerve-wracking sense of change in the air as I write. This recipe might just be my last blog post written in London as we are about to sell up and move to Wales. A bit of a homecoming, if you will, as my husband and I are both from Wales [ ]
These heavenly mouthfuls are incredibly easy to make and as Christmassy as can be! Don t get me wrong, I love a mince pie as much as the next sane person, but these are a much simpler not to mention quicker alternative offering of festive solace. With so many people cooking for a smaller [ ]
