Mostly healthy eating!
It’s pastry week on The Great British Bake Off and the contestants have really been put through their paces baking samosas, tackling a particularly challenging technical bake and topping it all off with a show-stopping hand crafted pie. So have we all got our aprons […]
Everyone loves a cheesey scone and these have been taken to a whole new level with the addition of chorizo. They are best eaten warm from the oven and it’s hard to resist going in for second helpings. Enjoy x Chorizo and Manchego Cheese […]
Bake Off has returned to our screens and this recipe is our contribution to cake week, which saw the contestants creating their own signature tray bakes. This is based on a Mary Berry recipe and although not as elaborate as those in the Bake Off […]

Everyone should have a good muffin recipe in their baking repertoire and this one will give you light, fluffy muffins every time. I’ve used oil instead of butter which makes it a slightly healthier option. Another speedy recipe with muffins ready in around 30 minutes. […]
