It’s National Chocolate Week and these brownies are the perfect way to celebrate. Gluten free flours work very well in brownies, so I make them a lot!

Ok, so summer never really happened but you can still reminisce about childhood summers and indulge in an ice cream sundae. You can easily turn this sundae into a more ‘adult’ version too.

The best way to finish off a tiring day of packing and cleaning, is with a well deserved treat! Mum made some delicious chocolate brownies and I couldn’t help but crumble a couple over some vanilla ice cream. Naughty but so nice!

Rain, rain, rain, you’d never guess it was August! This weather needs a cuppa and some tasty biscuits…

Have you seen the new white chocolate with strawberries bar from Divine!

Bean sprouts are a far cry from caramel and nougat, but whilst traditional snack bars might rely on these sugar rich ingredients, there’s a new organic snack bar that prefers to use a slightly more unusual approach…

It was my first foray into the filming of a television programme and my day at the ‘Cooking the Books‘ studio was interesting, and fun. I learnt a lot about how these sorts of programmes are made, for example – what’s fake and what’s not – the food was real and delicious!
