This is a recipe I have had on my “to-do” list for a while and as the weather was a bit cooler this week I decided to give it a go. Fat Rascals are a cross between a scone and a rock bun and are a great afternoon treat. They originate from Yorkshire and are also popular in the North East of England. In 1983, the famous Bettys Café Tea Rooms reinvented the traditional regional bun into the fruit filled fat rascals we know today. Bettys added the signature face using glacé cher

I think this is one of my favourite desserts as I love the tart lemon topped with the really sweet meringue! I am not sure why it has taken me this long to put this recipe on my blog but I hope it is worth the wait! It has a crisp shortcrust pastry case filled with tart lemon curd and topped with a delicious crispy on the outside but soft in the middle meringue. It can be served as it is or with some fresh cream for an extra bit of decadence. It is a pretty traditional Britis

I first tried Hummingbird cake in Walt Disney World in Florida and had never even heard of it. I was totally sold on it after my first mouthful. I used to make this as a cake nearly every week for a local cafe and it was one of their most popular cakes. It is made with bananas and crushed pineapple and is very moist and tasty! This version is topped with cheese cheese frosting and a sprinkle of coconut and is a really tasty cake. I also have a recipe for Hummingbird Muffins

French apple cake has origins in Normandy and Brittany using locally grown apples evolving from the 14th century. This cake is a delicious but rustic cake, it has simple flavours with a delicate taste of rum to enhance the apple flavour. It has a lot of apples in it and is a simple yet delicious cake. It has a simple sprinkle of icing sugar on the top and can be enjoyed on its own or with a lovely dollop of clotted cream! Jump to recipe Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan)

This is another bake from my trip to Lille, France. I bought a bag of these biscuits at a shop near our hotel and they were delicious. Torchettes (or Torchette) are crunchy Breton biscuits from France, specifically created by Maison Georges Larnicol which is the shop I visited in Lille. These biscuits are packed with almonds and raisins and topped with a hazelnut. They are really delicious and go well with a nice strong cup of coffee. Jump to recipe Pre-heat the oven to 180°C

When my sons were younger they loved going for breakfast with Lilo and Stitch at the Polynesian Hotel at Walt Disney World. As your server walked you to your table they would collect some of this amazing bread from the kitchen and it was the start to a delicious breakfast. My eldest son has been asking me for ages to make him some and I did have a few goes a few years ago but it just wasn’t the same. Recently I was making the dough for my cinnamon rolls and I thought maybe I

We went on holiday and had a delicious coffee in a French cafe. We shared a little basket of lemon madeleines between us and I thought when I got home I must make some.

They do take a bit more effort than regular cakes but it's definitely worth the effort for a little treat with a coffee. They are best eaten on the day b
