Homemade doughnuts! I know what you’re thinking: ‘It sounds really complicated… and I’ll need loads of equipment… and a deep fryer… and it’ll take ages.’
Nope!

Lemon Drizzle Cake
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.
Cheat Macaroni Cheese
Here’s something to work up a lot of enthusiasm for (although I’m almost embarrassed to call this a recipe, as it’s simply a ‘meeting and heating’ of basic ingredients already in your cupboard and fridge that, when cooked together, creates a very quick and ridiculously easy meal in 10 minutes): no call for weighing scales and you make it in one saucepan. Perfect for a fast lunch that doesn’t compromise on taste!

The outer edge is a little crispy and the middle remains a perfectly moist, plump dough.

Pear Upside-Down Cake
This luxurious pear upside-down cake is a cracking teatime bake (its top cracks so pleasingly) for friends coming over at ‘Twixtmas’ – the fun festive time between Christmas and New Year. The juiciness of the pears with the richness of the sponge make it cake perfection. Your tastebuds are pulled all over the place. Light / indulgent.
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.
