It’s lockdown in November and I think we’re all in need of a little bit of comfort. Throwback to sunny days when we could visit coffee shops and eat cake- this picture of a raspberry and cream cake I tried in September has definitely brightened up my day. The Loft, Shefford, Bedfordshire
Eating My Way Through London: Figo, Stratford
This pizza from Figo in Stratford deserves a lot of love. I tried it way back before lockdown 1, so it was a bit of time ago, but it’s stuck in my memory since. Figo is a great little Italian place in East London, with a vibrant atmosphere. The pizza was excellent, so flavoursome and… Continue reading Eating My Way Through London: Figo, Stratford
Sushi-making and Sake*
Happy October! The trees are changing colour and there’s a definite chill in the air. I love Autumn- it makes me want to stack up on carbs and chai. I’ve also been thinking back to a sushi-making class I went to in London this time last year. I’ve been a bit lax in adding this… Continue reading Sushi-making and Sake*
Eggs Benedict at Okka
Brunch is back on the menu…at 3pm! Visiting Okka, a cafe which specialises in Turkish and Mediterranean cusine, was a relaxing way to spend a Friday off work. Fuss- free and home-cooked (apparently). Okka Cafe and Restaurant, Harpenden
Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the ideal dessert- the Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake! Perfect for finishing off a meal (or starting one tbh), the Lotus biscuits have a crunchy, caramelised taste which goes well with a creamy cheesecake. And I love cheesecake! The Three Windmills, Newbury
Soft-baked Pretzels
Okay not going to lie, I’ve never really given much thought to pretzels. I predominantly thought they were a savoury snack. So when I received my latest baking box from BakedIn, I was intrigued to find that this month’s bake was going to be soft-baked pretzels. Not only that, but these were sweet, covered in… Continue reading Soft-baked Pretzels
A Most Perfect Rocky Road
I haven’t had a baked treat from outside the home in so long. I loved this- crunchy, rich and ever so chocolatey! Frosts Garden Centre, Woburn Sands
Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies
Have you ever tried Whoopie Pies? I hadn’t either, before yesterday. And now I wonder where they’ve been all my life! As part of a bank holiday weekend project, I made these carrot cake whoopie pies to enjoy. They were so much fun to make- essentially, they’re two biscuits sandwiched together and filled with buttercream… Continue reading Carrot Cake Whoopie Pies
Simply scrumptious scones
I absolutely love afternoon tea (as anyone who follows this blog will know). And what is no afternoon tea complete without? Scones! Now, I feel that scones are one of those foods that everyone has their own recipe for- however there seems to be a huge amount of variations online. Therefore, you need to try… Continue reading Simply scrumptious scones
Breakfast time!
My friend sent me these pics of her lockdown breakfast- loving the mid- week breakfast inspo!
