Lemon Cream Gingernut Pie

Lemon Cream Gingernut Pie

Sweet pies are pretty darn American. They make me think of a southern belle popping round to a neighbours house clutching a fresh bake. There’s something warming and comforting about them, even if this particular pie is served cold! My lemon cream gingernut pie is Read More

Lemon Curd and Swiss Meringue Tart

Lemon Curd and Swiss Meringue Tart

Lemon Meringue, is there a better combination? The tangy lemon curd coupled with the pillowy sweet swiss meringue is so so delicious. I love how fresh it tastes compared to a traditional lemon meringue pie which would be baked. And how the swiss meringue just Read More

Treacle Tart

Treacle Tart

Treacle tart has never interested me. I’ve always thought it was sickly, cloying and designed for children. Until I spent a week at Ashburton Cookery School. We made an insane amount of cakes, bread and patisserie. Its funny how much you can make when someone Read More

No-Bake Creme Egg Cheesecake

Raspberry and Frangipane Tart with Lemon Drizzle

Raspberry and Frangipane Tart with Lemon Drizzle

Sometimes you just need to bake a tart right? And this weekend was one of those times. The crisp buttery pastry, sharp tang of raspberries and comforting frangipane makes this a favourite in my book. The rectangular tart tin also makes it look far fancier than it Read More

Cherry Pie

Cherry Pie

My Myyy Miss American Pie… Baking pie makes me feel like a Southern housewife, taking a finished pie round to a friendly neighbour. Alas, I live in rainy London and talking to our neighbours isn’t really the done thing. It does mean however that I Read More

Pear and Frangipane Tart

Pear and Frangipane Tart

This Pear and Frangipane tart, dare I say it, may be the best tart I’ve ever made. Bold statement I know, but pastry has never been my strong point and this tart is rectangular! RECTANGULAR!! And I still managed to make it look appealing! So Read More
