As a kid I was obsessed with cinnamon swirl bread. It’s like a less intense version of a cinnamon bun and makes THE BEST french toast ever. What’s not to like? This is a slightly modernised variation made with sourdough and dates instead of…
I’ve been making different versions of hot cross buns each year – last year it was bagels, the year before that a HCB loaf. I also made Earl Grey & Orange ones for Waitrose a few years ago! This year I went with another…
Gingerbread is one of those cookies that I’m always ‘meh’ about when I think of it. Each year I inevitably end up making some to turn into a gingerbread house (or this year, a Christmas tree made of stacked gingerbread stars!). Every time I…
Simple Cinnamon Rolls (vegan option)
Our third year house in Leeds is finally starting to feel a bit more like ‘home’. I ordered some plants to liven up my room a bit – btw eBay seems to be the best place to buy some cool house plants if you…

No-Bake, Oaty Apple Crumble
Doing the giveaway post with E.ON a few day ago (which you should totally go enter if you haven’t already!) got me thinking about no-bake recipes. Sometimes it’s just so much more convenient and economical to not have to turn on the oven. The…
Small-Batch Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls {Vegan}
I really think there’s some kind of biological cinnamon-roll clock in my body. I’ve been thinking about these rolls non-stop for the past 3 weeks.…
