Baked Brie with Cranberry Jam recipe Ok, so you have my permission to start panicking a little about Christmas now. We’re on a 2 week countdown and, as is the same every year, I promise I won’t fill my diary, then every year I fill it right up. That and the endless lists; lists of…
Pecan Pie Bars Recipe Lucy Loves is turning into a blog mainly featuring tray bakes. And I don’t even care. A tray bake is everyone’s friend when it come to feeding a crowd or just satisfying hungry family members. These Pecan Pie Bars are making an appearance this week to coincide with all things Thanksgiving….
Marzipan Cookie Bar Recipe Cookie bars are my kryptonite. I love making them, I love eating them and I love finding new ones to make and eat. They rock in so many ways and here comes a list a) they are usually one bowl affairs, although for this recipe you’ll have to wash it up…
Simple Pork Dumplings Recipe I love a dumpling. I have spent years ordering them from takeaways or buying them frozen from the oriental supermarket, safe in the knowledge they were far too much of a kerfuffle to make myself.

This Cod with Chorizo and Chimichurri is the sort of dish I dream about. When I get recipe ideas in my head I get slightly obsessed and start to bore myself thinking about how it will work. I knew what I wanted to be included in this delicious one pot dish, but felt it was…
Challah Bread Recipe I’ve always loved Challah bread never really knowing it was a such an iconic Jewish loaf. When Clyde and I first moved in together, before such times when carbs were deemed unfashionable, we pretty much lived on bread, and I would always treat us to a loaf of Challah which was randomly…
Apple and Blackberry Snow Recipe I am in the minority of people who loved their school meals. I have hugely fond memories of chicken in white sauce, an odd goulash with macaroni and rice pudding. I had a particular penchant for stewed apple and custard, so when the nights draw in I get quite the…
And just like that, the summer holidays are over and my house is quieter. Ben’s gone back to uni, George is, so far, throwing himself into sixth form life and my fridge is taking slightly less of a daily battering. I’m feeling a little flat, as I always do when normality resumes, so I thought…
Peach Cobbler Recipe When it comes to summer fruits, I am a bit fussy. I don’t like furry fruits unless they’re cooked. Raspberries, gooseberries, blackberries, peaches, they’re all just a bit too fuzzy for my liking. But cook them, now that’s a different story. The fur disappears and the fruit is suddenly right up my…
