I can’t claim to have invented Lemon Drizzle Cake. It’s a reassuringly old recipe that hasn’t needed updating because it is so very good. You could say it’s simply the best. Or should that be: Simply The Zest? It will be a real hit on Mother’s Day!

Chocolate Truffle Brownies
That’s right. Chocolate. Truffle. Brownies. At first glance, they may look like your regular brownies.
Easy Chocolate Truffles
Nothing says ‘Je t’aime’ like a melt-in-the-middle chocolate truffle. But a homemade chocolate truffle? Well, you’ve lovingly gone the extra mile! And there’s absolutely no need to disclose that these impressive chocolate truffles are incredibly simple to make…
Crumbly Cookies
I firmly believe cold and dark January evenings are best spent baking indoors. You need something sweet and understanding to lift you. That’s where these cookies come in: virtuously light and fluffy, like a cake in the middle, but with a crunchy exterior that gently crumbles.

Easy Gingerbread Recipe
I don’t know why gingerbread is typically confined to December, as I happily make it all year round. Here is my fool-proof gingerbread recipe.
Lazy Lasagne
Ooooof – lasagne. Lazy because it’s melt in the mouth tender meat and full of vegetables, slow cooked in a dreamy rich tomato sauce and then tucked up under blankets of pasta. Toasted cheese is the top eiderdown.
Apple and Blackberry Crumble
A mouthful of apple and blackberry crumble is Autumn to me. The rich, tangy sweetness of apple and blackberry with a crispy top is absolutely delicious. But of course, you know that already!
