Cookie season is officially open! We kicked off the festive month with these gummy bear window pane cookies! Impressive to look, super easy to make. If you put a little hole through the cut shape before baking, then you can thread them and showcase them as edible ornaments. My advise when baking these with children……

Vegan Lime and Blueberry Loaf
This sweet little lime and blueberry loaf is Vegan. And has no added fat. It shouldn’t work, but it does and it’s fluffy, soft and “”citrusingly” delicious! My children and husband could not believe it when I told them how very few ingredients went into this batter and they particularly loved the zingy lime flavour…
Vegan “Rudolph” Cupcakes
With Christmas fast approaching I feel I have burrowed myself deep in a rabbit hole of baking! Not that I mind that, let’s be clear here, baking is my happy place. And my actual domestic bunny Hazel loves to steal the fruits of my labour! There goes that metaphor! If you are planning some seasonal…
Lemon and Yoghurt Dunking Biscuits from “Love, Laugh, Bake!”
Nothing fills me with more joy than sharing my love for baking with my children. It’s both the ritual of creating an edible moment together, and the anticipation and excitement waiting for our labour to come into fruition. I am not a very patient baker, let’s be honest, and, with the exception of slow proving…
Easy-ish, almost no-knead Panettone
Almost. Yes, there will be some kneading, but take it from someone who is known for Panettone recipes that will give your upper body an intense workout, this is quite the revolution! Panettone is a traditional Italian Christmas enriched bread, and creating this type of dough, negotiating with eggs, sugar and fats, is never an…
Bussolai, S-shaped Venetian Biscuit
Italian cuisine is well known for its intriguing diversity.

Blood Orange and Buttermilk Ciambella
I have never kept my dislike for winter a secret. I don’t do well in the colder months. It appears that my birthday, at the height of Italian summer (July 23! Yes, LEO!) has really built a need for sunlight and warm weather in the very structure of my DNA. So, in the colder months,…
Gluten free Marmalade Scones
Gluten free flour can be rather tricky to manipulate. I often find it at once sticky and powdery, a combination of texture that baffles me! I have found that the easiest way to work it is to start the dough in a bowl and mix with with a chopstick or a wooden spoon until a…
