I’m not the biggest fan of cheesecake, so I won’t be waxing lyrical about this recipe. As cheesecakes go though, it’s a real good’un. The addition of mint and balsamic stop it from being one-dimensional creaminess, and turn it into something a bit more sophisticated and interesting. It’s a Fiona Cairns (of royal wedding cake-maker [...]

It’s round this time of year that my mother is in the midst of a fruit-induced madness. It starts with raspberries, then strawberries, then redcurrants…then just as it’s beginning to wane, it’s the blackcurrants, blackberries, then apples… She gets up at odd hours in the morning to pick fruit, she can’t go on a summer [...]

If I could only eat one thing forever, pavlova would definitely rank in my top three (along with cheese and ice cream – I couldn’t possibly choose my favourite among them – it wouldn’t be fair.) It’s easy to make, it always looks spectacular, and I am yet to meet anybody who doesn’t like a [...]

Ice cream is my guilty pleasure. The thing about Frae is that I don’t even have to feel any guilt. The organic, frozen yogurt only contains 100 calories and can be served with anything from crushed up oreos (naughty) to one of your ‘five a day’ fruit portions (good). The other great thing is the [...]
Using my last tub of beetroot: Beetroot Ice Cream

Okay – so I know that I’ve gone a bit over the top with beetroot recently, but as I mentioned in an earlier post, there’s a 3 for 2 offer on tubs of beetroot at the Tesco’s down the road, so I had my ‘get one free’ pot to use up. A friend mentioned earlier [...]
The lemoniest of lemony tarts: aka “A Leggy Tart”

I’ve got a thing about eating off big plates. Weird. My plates are so hopelessly big they don’t fit in the dishwasher or the cupboard. I came up with a cunning plan though, and bought an enormous plate rack off ebay, which would have all been very well if I’d been competent enough to attach [...]
