Thanks to Lyle’s Golden Syrup for sponsoring this post Every year I look forward to pancake day – it’s usually in close proximity to my birthday and they’re also one of my all-time favourite things to make! I love to change up the flavours…
Apricot Hazelnut Streusel Bars (+ Vegan Option)
Apricots are one of those fruits, like plums, that I never like to eat just on their own. I’d much rather cook them down into a jammy compote and use them like that, these apricot hazelnut streusel bars being the perfect example!…
Choux pastry is one of those things which is just hella delicious but I always forget about it as a fancy dessert option. The main times I’ve made it have been for large family gatherings and for my GCSE food tech project in…
Fig Jam, Apple & Hazelnut Crunch Overnight Oats
Ah exam period. This is probably the most stressed and busy I’ve been since A-levels. Probably something to do with how I have NINETY credits of modules this semester vs 30 credits last semester! My poor brain. I keep telling people to not give me any…
Squash & Crispy Kale Bowls with Pomegranate and Miso-Ginger Dressing
Ah bowl food, the trend of 2016 which, imo, is GREAT (I mean, if you looked at how many pasta bowls I have with me at uni, you’d see I’m not lying). The typical bowl food format is one I automatically turn to for…

Banana, Honey and Toasted Coconut-Hazelnut Butter Crostini with Fleur de sel
Once in a while, I have fancy days. I don’t have a reason, there’s no occasion. I just want fancy. Put on a dress, yeah. Perfume, why not? Wear shoes around the house – woah there, major fancy. English accent alert- it’s useful for…
Toasted Coconut-Hazelnut Butter (+ how to clean your blender in 10 seconds)
If one of my friends orders an ice cream flavour I was considering, even if I wasn’t dead set on getting it, I suddenly become slightly angry that they’ve ordered it because now I have to get something different (I don’t like to have…
