Giant Peanut Butter Cup recipe This year I fear Hallowe’en may be a bit of a damp squib. Even though my boys are now men, I still like to carve a pumpkin and hand out all the sweets. To keep things Covid safe, I will still leave a cauldron of sweets out for the little…
Father’s Day is on the horizon again and for me, it means buying 3 bloody cards, even though I only actually have one Father of my own. The boys are perfectly capable of getting a card for Clyde, as is Clyde for own Father, but left to their own devices, no cards would be purchased….
I spend quite a good deal of time researching chocolate mousse. ‘Get out more’ I hear you cry, but it’s quite the labour of love and not really a hardship. Mousse is such a great dinner party or family dessert, I love finding new recipes and perfecting old ones. When my Mother handed me a…

If you would like to bake this coming Father’s Day, then this weeks recipe for you. This year, I am giving you plenty of warning to be ready for Father’s Day on Sunday. I am not going to go to the shop to buy your card for you, but I am going to share a…
This week, Lucy is helping us to get ready for Mother’s Day with a huge tray of fudgy chocolate cake. Ever since I started baking, I have been slightly obsessed by cakes made using vinegar. My obsession came with this particular Chocolate Cake recipe and has gone on ever since. I am always slightly puzzled…
This week, Lucy is thinking ahead and getting some Christmas baking done and dusted before all the fun starts. I am starting to obsess over Christmas food and it’s only the first week of December. I don’t have a single mince pie or sausage roll in the freezer and this may start to keep me…
