I’m a total sucker for anything citrus, so I couldn’t resist leaning into those sunny spring vibes (hello sunshine!) and creating these light, lemony tartlets. They’ve got a buttery shortbread crust that melts in your mouth and a silky lemon curd filling that’s bright, zesty and just the right amount of sharp. It’s a flavour combo that feels fresh, elegant and seriously delicious.
When it comes to comfort food, the warm aroma and sweet taste of stewed apple with cinnamon are among the best, and I’ve made that the star of this easy, no-fuss dessert. This rustic galette offers all the cosy flavours of an apple pie without the hassle. The pastry comes together in a food processor in a matter of minutes, and best of all, you don’t even need a pie dish!

Valentine’s Day is coming up and if there’s one treat that never gets old it’s chocolate! This triple chocolate dessert is perfect for spoiling your loved ones (and yourself) and is sure to sweeten up your celebration. It’s dark and rich (not too sweet, which I love) and has a gooey melted chocolate centre. Creamy vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries complement these warm brownie pots beautifully, it’s pure indulgence.

This beautiful spring dessert is fit for high tea! Apple tart does require a little time and effort, but you’ll be rewarded with a show stopping treat. The base is a sweet shortcrust pastry that can be made in a food processor (love that) which is filled with creamy vanilla bean crème pâtissière. This is topped with slices of apple and an apricot jam glaze – an absolute treat.
Hi foodies! I’ve just arrived back from a fabulous trip to the U.K. – what a treat! I spent most of my time in London getting reacquainted with the city that was my home for a few years after I got married, and I was reminded of how much I loved living there! I’ll share a few photos in my next blog post.
Onto the recipe, and if I had to choose my top three desserts this would absolutely be one of them!! I have always loved lemon meringue pie. It’s such a crowd pleaser too – whether we’re entertaining or I’ve made one as a treat for the family it’s always a hit. This is a bog standard recipe and the one I’ve been making for years and years. I never thought to post it here, but when I shared some pics of one I’d made on Instagram recently I had a few people asking me to share my recipe… here you go everyone! 😉
One of the things I’ve missed most during this pandemic is the simple hug. Fortunately I have been in lockdown at home with my husband and the kids so it’s not as though I’ve missed out completely, but I don’t think I’ll ever take for granted a warm hug from a friend, a hello hug from a colleague or a quick passing hug that says “you’ve got this” from another mom also rushing around during the busy morning school run. Sometimes it feels as though we’ll never get to that point again! But I know that we will.
Your week is about to get better, thanks to this showstopper dessert! As I mentioned in my last post I will be sharing a few recipes from some of the newest additions to my cookbook collection over the coming weeks. Today’s drool-worthy recipe for spiced apple crumble cheesecake with salted caramel sauce is by my friend Astrid Field of The Sweet Rebellion and comes from her first recipe book “High Tea at Home”.

Earlier this week on the Expresso Show Culinary Hotline we were chatting all about winter puddings (one of my favourite topics!) and it reminded me of this delicious recipe which I put together a few months ago. Saucy winter puddings are my favourite and today’s recipe definitely falls into that category!
