Thanks to OXO for sponsoring this post! This Salted Caramel Apple Cake is a lovely autumn/winter bake, lightly spiced with cinnamon and covered with a brown sugar cream cheese frosting.  I’ve been surprisingly busy since finishing uni, between the Ireland workshop and moving home…

Thanks to Food Network UK for sponsoring this post and to you guys for supporting me! At uni for the past two years I’ve been lucky enough to live with two friends from my course – we all study Food Science & Nutrition. I…

So I was meant to post this recipe about 2 weeks ago, then I ended up getting the flu which turned into LARYNGITIS so I was basically sleeping all week. (Side note: losing my voice for a week made me realise how hard it…

This week has gone by so ridiculously fast! It’s been a good week – a celebration week: – my cookbook announcement (thanks everyone (again!) for all the super nice comments and tweets. You’ve made my face hurt from smiling all week). Oh and a…
