So simple, so delicious. You feel you are being good but cook in butter and top it off maple syrup to make up for that!
Ingredients
2 bananas (not too ripe, in fact under is better than over ripe)
1 free range or organic egg
1/4 cup ground almonds or almond flour
1 heaped tbsp self raising gluten free …
As I write this I am sitting at my desk and looking out of the window at the rain as it pours and the roses struggle to hold on to their petals. So it is a perfect day to bake muffins and write about them before the dogs and I brace the elements (and I …
I bought some strawberries which really had to be eaten last night but in my absence at a book talk in Bath by Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver of St John London, they were not. So by this morning they had to be eaten straight away or be made into something. So this is …
We had this in North Carolina for the wedding brunch of a cousin. This is not exactly it, but my take on what we had. It is comforting, filling and delicious.

1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
4 cups boiling or very hot water
2 cups grated cheddar cheese

These bran muffins have no bran in them. Bran used in bran muffins is wheat bran and not gluten free. My love of bran muffins comes from visiting my Canadian grandparents in their house in Florida during Easter holidays (very lucky me). Granny would drive me to the local shop just so I could buy …
When I wrote Afternoon Tea I included a recipe for Spiced Tea Syrup on page 54 (just in case you have a copy!), fashionable in the Edwardian Era to both sweeten and flavour. Being out of the habit, despite writing this book, a jar has been sitting by the kettle for quite some time and …
We were given this delicious cake/bread in church in Canada 6 hours north of Montreal, off the St Lawrence River, where only during the summer its doors are opened with a visiting vicar. Someone brings in something delicious each week and this is one of them. Whether a churchgoer or not, yummies and ‘cook outs’ …
We returned from Malbaie in Canada a couple of days ago and I woke up miraculously early while the rest of the family jet-lagged their way to 11am! Tired and hungry, I made this which has nothing to do with Canada! The next recipe I post however will. More suited to SE Asia, this a …
Mince pies, brandy butter – my favourite, so much so that I won’t let myself have one until the children break up for the school holidays, so the big day is today. Bran muffins make up just a little and they are like eating cake for breakfast, but on the healthy side with definite digestive …
My book, Afternoon Tea, is almost out and there do not seem to be many left already so if you would like one, please visit the link by clicking on Afternoon Tea. I will post something next week when it is officially released! I will be selling at some fairs which I …
