I take toasties VERY seriously. A cheese toastie is probably one of my favourite things to eat – you cannot go wrong with bread and cheese. When I was a kid I would eat about 3 things (nightmare to feed, sorry mum) just a toastie was one of them. So this is a very nostalgic … Continue reading DAY 8🎄 Camembert and Cranberry Toastie
Now, Hot Chocolate is taken very seriously in this house. So while this may not sound like a “recipe” or something worth sharing, I can assure you that it is. I’m not really a tea (and certainly not a coffee, love the taste, hate the heart palpitations) drinker, but I do love a warm brew … Continue reading DAY 7🎄 Best Ever Festive Hot Chocolate
Cinnamon Buns are probably one of my favourite things on earth. What I love a little bit more than Cinnamon Buns is Christmas. So, Christmas inspired Cinnamon Buns are what my dreams are made of. Fluffy dough and buttery sweet cinnamon sugar are always good and we all know this. But, ginger and eggnog make … Continue reading DAY 6 🎄 Gingerbread & Eggnog Cinnamon Buns
This is a festive recipe that honestly everyone will enjoy, and anyone can bake! Who doesn’t like a classic lemon drizzle? Soft fluffy sponge topped with a crunchy sugar topping, what’s not too love? Citrus fruits always go so well in cakes as they cut through the sweetness so well and add a lovely light, … Continue reading DAY 4 🎄 Clementine Drizzle
NO SPROUT HATE HERE. Now I know they’re not everyone’s favourite, and to be honest I think that’s because of that way we’ve been cooking them, but I love sprouts, especially cooked this way. A big hunk of chunky green sprout isn’t likely to please anyone, so sometimes you just gotta be a little inventive … Continue reading DAY 3 🎄 Sexy Sprouts
Think gingerbread... but a lot better. And not the crunchy dry kind, but the soft chewy kind (the way it should be). Another traditional Christmas recipe but pimped up a little. I love gingerbread and it is one of the greats that makes you feel super festive, but it can get a little Samey. I … Continue reading DAY 2 🎄 Gingerbread & White Chocolate Cookies
Welcome to 24 days of Christmas!! To start things off I’ve gone for a Christmas classic but with a little twist. There is no baked good more festive than a mince pie, amiright? And this is basically just a giant mince pie which I am here for. I think the ratio of pastry to mince … Continue reading DAY 1 🎄 Mince Pie Tart
Yes, I am still obsessed with cookies. And butterscotch apparently? There isn’t a huge amount I can say about these, which is rare because as you may have figured out by now, I can really ramble on. But they are just simple and delicious. They are the perfect chewy cookie texture with a little bit … Continue reading Giant Butterscotch Cookies
Brioche is the perfect Sunday recipe. It does take a little extra time and effort to make, so if you’re not working and having a cosy Sunday at home it’s perfect. It’s delicious, obviously. And it’s a bit of a treat, which Sundays are made for. Brioche dough is a pretty beautiful thing. It’s light … Continue reading Chocolate Orange & Thyme Brioche Buns
These. Are. Good. Really good. Think soft, sweet cinnamon bun dough but filled with savoury cheesy onions. WHAT a divine combo. The sweet, balsamic caramelised onions go perfectly with sharp cheddar, especially when they’re mixed together and rolled into a pillowy light dough. DELICIOUS. The dough is fairly simple to make, it’s a standard enriched … Continue reading Caramelised Balsamic Onion & Cheddar Pull Apart Swirl Buns
