After the success of our last batch we decided to try out a new flavour combination! When you take a batch of vegan buns into an office of hot cross fiends and no one can tell the difference (in fact they were even amazed to be told after tucking in) we knew we were onto […]
You either hate it or you love it, and we LOVE it. Especially when you combine it with cheese… Look if you’re a Marmite hater, we respectfully disagree but also, this recipe clearly isn’t one for you… if you’re a lover, then please enjoy! Cheese and Marmite, are a truly classic combo! We often find […]
With Easter coming up we had to do a Hot Cross bun recipe and these ones are so easy there’s no reason not to whip up a batch!! So yes, yes, we did a traditional hot cross bun recipe last year. But when we got our hands on this Panasonic bread maker from ao.com and discovered […]

Tis the season… and who doesn’t love a mince pie? This year we decided to do something a little different to the traditional pastry and mincemeat and turned it into a gooey iced bun. We already posted a mince pie recipe last year with our own homemade mincemeat with added cranberries for extra flavour. Making […]
So I’m sure you can guess that we are going through an Easter theme with our baking at the moment, because Easter is coming up and why not celebrate with baking and having fun. So this week we had a go at the classic Hot Cross Bun We wanted to make our Hot Cross Buns […]
New year new me? Lets start with some carbs. Who doesn’t love sourdough bread? We’ve been wanting to make sourdough since before we started this blog, we just wanted to make sure we did it properly.

Who doesn’t love a bun? Iced buns, chelsea buns, buns of steel… So we decided to make some christmas ones because everything should be a better, christmassy version at this time of year.These are a festive take on the traditional chelsea bun, we’ve swapped the currants for dried cranberries and added some more spices and […]
We love pizza and we love mac & cheese… so why not combine the two? So here’s the logic… pizza has cheese on it, and mac & cheese has cheese in it therefore it can go on top of pizza…. because cheese and cheese. It goes without saying that this recipe isn’t exactly diet friendly… […]
So, WE LOVE CHEESE. And we find no cheese board is complete without bread and some good chutneys. Today we have decided to make a batch of onion chutney with a bit of a kick ready for all the Christmas activities (and cheese eating). Rather than your everyday red onion chutney we have decided to […]
So halloween is coming up, and there are pumpkins everywhere! We love to carve them but hate how wasteful it is to just through away all the pumpkin you scoop out, so this year we used our pumpkin to make some soup. And you can’t have soup without bread. So after meticulously scouring the internet […]
It’s happened, its all over for another year, the winner has been crowned and massive amounts of cake baked and eaten.

Yesterday was our friend Naomi’s birthday and as a little surprise for her we put on an afternoon tea party with a selection of baked goods. Although this may have caused our stress levels to rise somewhat, it was a success and we all had a delightful (and food filled) evening. We made a whole […]
So it’s week 3 of the bake off already and we’ve discovered our favourites (and our not-so-favourites…). In honour of bread week, we’ve taken up the challenge of the signature and are making a quick bread, going for a fairly traditional cheddar, garlic and rosemary soda bread. We knew we’d be in for a treat with bread […]
As cheese is a very important part of our lives, we thought it was about time we posted a cheesy bake. or more specifically, a rosemary and stilton knot recipe. We’d seen loads of garlic and parmesan knot recipes which look delicious but we wanted to take it one step further by rolling some crumbled […]
