Peanut Butter, Smoked Bacon and Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

It has been said many times on this blog that I am not refined.  I don’t make delicately decorated cookies or fairy cakes. I make Filthy Oreo Pancakes, Buffalo Chicken Wings and Peanut Butter and Nutella Brownies. So we reached an…

Coconut and Dark Chocolate Madeleines Recipe

Normally when it comes to baking, I can be a bit slapdash. I’m not the most gentle or precise baker. I like things like crumbles, that you can get properly stuck into. But some recipes deserve some respect. Last time,…

Nutella and Peanut Butter Brownies Recipe

We all have them. Those days when you think, why didn’t I just pull my duvet over my head and stay there? I’m lucky that it doesn’t happen that often as I try to be a positive person but sometimes…

Pork Potsticker Dumplings Recipe

I love dumplings. They are awesome. I love the rich dense dumpling with Eastern European goulash. I love the dumpling bobbing in a booze Irish stew. But most of all I love Chinese dumplings. I don’t know why but when…

Paul A.Young Brownie Masterclass – Review

From some of my past posts, you’ll know that I’m constantly in London. I don’t live there, I live in Bristol, 118 miles from my favourite chocolate shop of all time. Big claim you may think but so true when…

These last couple of months, I’ve been on a hunt. No not on a manhunt, but yes I am on one of those too. No a hunt for blood oranges. These seasonal temptresses need to be sniffed out and the…

Gypsy Tart Recipe

I’ve renamed this tart. It was first created in Kent by a lady who wanted to help feed up the malnourished gypsy children. Remember this was a dish to feed up malnourished children, it has 3 ingredients. A pastry shell…

Friday was apparently Margarita Day – I personally don’t need a national holiday to have an excuse to drink tequila. I love it and it loves me (sometimes not so much….)  Not only is Margarita Day a reason to celebrate but on…

Clementine Almond Cake Recipe

Christmas may have been and gone, but I’m still clinging on the one of iconic fruits of the season. The clementines. The zesty little creature that is waiting in everyone fruit bowl waiting patiently until you’ve finished off all the meat and chocolate…

I have a love affair with America. Think it started when I was 5 and my parents surprised me and my older brother by taking us to Florida to meet Mickey – the mouse not a weird random… It’s fair to say…

Homemade Bacon and Carbonara Recipe

I’m not a newcomer when it comes to home curing meat. Oh no – let us not forget The Beast of 2011 (my first attempt of homemade pastrami) and the slightly furry pancetta that maybe didn’t get as much attention…
