Strawberry, Lemon, White Chocolate Cookies
Summer in a cookie. This gorgeous lemon oat cookie is swirled with fresh strawberry compote, scooped and rolled in a zesty lemon sugar. Once baked, they’re gooey in the middle and crisp on the edges with pockets of creamy melted white chocolate.
A Big Fat Focaccia Sandwich
This focaccia recipe is my favourite and it is so easy to make, there’s hardly any hands on time. No kneading required either. It’s a 90% hydration dough which means it’s light and soft. Apart from the delicious focaccia, the other star of the show is the pistachio pesto. It’s punchy, garlicy and so tasty. Any leftover is perfect for pesto pasta too.
Apricot Croissant French Toast Bake
This croissant french toast bake is my ultimate meal prep for a delicious breakfast with minimal work. You prepare it the night before and bake it in the morning. This is always going to be a win for my busy mum days. It’s a real crowd pleaser if you have friends or family staying and an easy way to feed a bigger crowd. It’s crisp on top while staying soft and custardy in the middle. The apricot conserve sits in little fruity pockets and caramelises on the edges.
Lemon, Thyme & Blood Orange Shortbread Biscuits
The feeling of spring is lingering in the air and the sun is peeking out of the clouds, so I thought it was time to bake a bit of sunshine too.
These are like little parcels of citrus sitting in a thyme shortbread. The shortbread has a little ground almond in it to keep the texture short all while holding its shape. The pretty pink icing on top brings memories of party rings from my childhood. These are such a treat and perfect with a cuppa.
Peanut, Stem Ginger & Miso Cheesecake Swirl Cookies
These are my ode to the sweet and salty lovers. I am one of them so these are also for me! I have been a bit obsessed with making flavoured chocolate barks for my cookies. It has really opened up so many possibilities to add in flavours that you don’t necessarily want in the actual cookie dough.
Chocolate Love Cakes with Roasted Strawberry Buttercream
I don’t know anyone that wouldn’t be happy to receive one of these for Valentines Day. Moist chocolate cake, indulgent chocolate ganache, fresh strawberries and roasted strawberry buttercream. They’re the perfect size to split with your love, but this recipe makes more than enough for you to each have your own. I really think it’s worth putting the extra effort into the finishing touches. Fresh rose petals and gold leaf are my favourites to really make them special.
