Bakewell Blondies

Gooey blondies flavoured like a classic Bakewell, laced with jam and topped with flaked almonds. This are such an easy recipe to bake. The most difficult part of baking these blondies is judging when to take them out of the oven. Remember with blondies or brownies, it’s better to be a bit underdone than overcooked. […]

If anyone ever asks me what my favourite cake is I always answer with carrot cake. I can’t say for definite if it’s actually my absolute favourite, I have many favourites, but […]

How to Brown Butter

I have been hooked on brown butter since discovering it at the start of lockdown 2020. It’s the ultimate one ingredient shortcut, adding nutty deliciousness and toasted flavours to baking, as well as savoury dishes, such as pasta. What do you need? There’s really nothing to it. All you need is butter, a light coloured […]

OREO BROOKIES

What a recipe for my first post. SLUTTY BROWNIES. These bars have a layer of chewy chocolate chip cookie, followed by an Oreo centre and topped with white chocolate chip brownies. What’s not to like?! For the cookie layer, I used a hybrid of Ravneet Gill’s cookie recipe and the viral New York Times Chocolate […]
