GRAPEFRUIT + BLOOD ORANGES WITH HONEY + CORIANDER SEED TOASTED OATS

Fruit salad isn't normally my thing. It's probably a hangover from those tins of fruit salad from the 70's that were served up at school in a pool of evaporated milk.

BLOOD ORANGE + MARMALADE CAKE

As a month, January can get a lot of stick. But I don't really mind it. I like the fresh start it offers after the indulgences of Christmas.

APPLE, PEAR + CARDAMOM COMPOTE

This week I am taking part in the Abel & Cole X Balance Blogger Challenge to inspire people to get their recommended 10 portions of fruit and veg a day. Organic fruit and veg specialists Abel & Cole and wellbeing magazine Balance have invited five food bloggers, of which I am one, to each share 3 recipes created from an Abel & Cole seasonal fruit and veg box.

CHOCOLATE + {GOLDEN} BEETROOT CAKE

I've got out of the habit of posting here on my blog, preferring the easier more instant Instagram as a way to share my thoughts and images. So here by way of a big tick on my 'should do list' is a recipe for Chocolate Beetroot cake.

BLACKBERRY + LIQUORICE LOLLIES / MANGO + PASSION FRUIT LOLLIES

This week the weather is set to hit record high temperatures for June. Coming home from work and school hot and frazzled calls for a bit of cold comfort and these smoothie ice lollies certainly hit the spot.

GLUTEN-FREE ALMOND CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING + SALTED CARAMEL

Twelve Days ago we celebrated Lily's 12th birthday and this is the cake I made her. Each year I try to make a cake different from the last - she remembers them all!

RHUBARB CRUMBLE FLAPJACK SLICES

A couple of weeks ago, when the new season rhubarb first appeared in the shops, I bought a bright pink bunch without much of a plan as to what I was going to do with it.

ORANGE AND CINNAMON BISCUITS

Baking these biscuits will fill your kitchen with the most Christmassy aroma. Later today Arthur and I are going to make a couple of batches as Christmas gifts for his teachers.

COCONUT YOGHURT BARK

This is yoghurt bark. Have you heard of it before? I hadn’t until recently. It is really too simple to class as a ‘recipe’, it’s more just a case of throwing some ingredients together.

LIME & COCONUT YOGHURT CAKE

When Onken set me the challenge to develop four easy recipes using their new coconut yogurt, I had to include a cake.

COCONUT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE

When I was a kid I always thought that a Bounty chocolate bar was the most sophisticated choice of confectionery. After all its adverts which featured tropical beaches and coconut palms promised ‘the taste of paradise’.

COCONUT, BLUEBERRY & PISTACHIO FROZEN YOGHURT

Yogurt is big in our family. Sometimes it’s plain and used to add a creamy finish to our morning porridge along with some berries and toasted nuts. Sometimes it is a fruit yogurt served as a quick weekday pudding.

BUTTERMILK SPONGE CAKE

This blog is always the first casualty when life shifts up a gear or when life turns upside-down as it has during the past couple of months.

LEMON, HAZELNUT & RHUBARB CAKE

I've been looking forward to sharing these images of my Lemon, Hazelnut & Rhubarb cake on the blog. I've had to wait as the cake was part of a shoot I did back in June for The Simple Things magazine.
