Rich and beautifully spiced, these blondies evoke the flavour of classic gingerbread without being overpowering. Just right as a late winter treat to enjoy with a hot cuppa.

As August rolls on and we inch closer to the end of winter I’m still reaching for comfort meals that are nourishing and warming. This rich and satisfying mushroom and miso soup is like an umami-packed hug in a bowl. Earthy mixed mushrooms, chewy pearl barley and savoury miso paste come together in this easy soup elevated with flavour boosters like fresh ginger and soy sauce. It’s a hearty vegetarian dish that you’ll enjoy on cold days.
I had to play around with this recipe a few times to get it just right, and I’m so glad I persevered because these ginger and dark chocolate bars are absolutely delicious! They’re chewy and oaty with a tasty hint of ginger. The dark chocolate layer at the bottom finishes them off perfectly. I would definitely classify these as a treat snack, and they are rather lovely as an afternoon pick-me-up.
What do you do when you find a jar of molasses at the back of the pantry? You grab your apron and whip up some ginger cookies! I love the depth of flavour that molasses adds to ginger flavoured bakes. I’ve also used muscovado sugar and crystallised ginger in this recipe and the resulting flavour is incredible.
Here’s a small nod to the festive season without me getting too Christmassy on you…for now. *wink* No Christmas is complete without a gingerbread flavoured bake, and (me being me) I decided to try and make a chocolate version of my favourite gingerbread cake. It worked so well that I had to share the recipe here.
Homemade veggie soups are so comforting and warming, and really very easy to prepare. Roasted carrots and butternut, along with the hint of ginger, give this soup it’s delicious flavour. This is a thick and creamy soup which makes it feel quite indulgent. It will definitely satisfy and warm you on a cold winters day!
The holiday season is just about in full swing and what better way to celebrate than with some festive treats! Waffles are a firm foodie favourite and this gingerbread version is inspired by the flavours of Christmas.
It’s almost December and after trying my best over the last two months to ignore the Christmas jingles on the radio and festive paraphernalia lurking at every turn in the supermarket I have decided to embrace the season. Yes folks, I am officially “feeling Christmassy”. Over the next few weeks I will be sharing some divine Christmas treats, so let’s kick things off today with a bit of festive baking shall we?
