caramelised onion frittata
I know, I’m not the best food photographer ever, but this frittata tastes so great that I know you will forgive the photography. The original recipe was to make a quiche so if you prefer, line a pie tin with pastry for a quiche. It also included prosciutto, but I’ve always eaten this vegetarian. This [...]
choc oat biscuit slice
I found this recipe at Tammy’s Recipes (who got it from A Mummy’s Blessings) after a reader recommended Tammy’s website. This slice made it to our family favourites list without any discussion, it was immediately loved, and I’ve made it dozens of times in the last few months (Hmm, I think I’ll go and make [...]
berry and sour cream cakes
These little cakes are dense and moist, more of a desert cake than a morning tea cake. I usually make one large cake, but because they are so moist, it can take a long time to cook, so mini cakes cut the cooking time. Any berries will do: raspberries, blue berries or in this case [...]
savoury muffins – ham, cheese and vegetable
Savoury muffins make a good lunchbox filler or a meal on the go and are a healthy fast food, especially if you pack them with plenty of veggies and make them with wholemeal flour.

I made this cake for last year’s Christmas trifle. I’ve never made it before, but it’s super easy and it has a lovely subtle flavour. The recipe has ground almonds, which cost an absolute bomb, so I just grind some skinless almonds in the coffee grinder (that hasn’t seen coffee for a few years now!), [...]
Caramel Peach Upside Down Cake
A variation on the old butter cake and icing: caramel upside down peach cake. An easy cake with impressive results.
Date Loaf
A quick and easy Date loaf recipe using Wheatbix, that is a favourite in our family.
Rock Cakes
Rock cakes are an old fashioned, frugal classic. I’ve been using this recipe to make rock cakes for over twenty years and I still enjoy a nice rock cake with a cuppa for morning tea.
Little Adult Chocolate Cakes
Most of the recipes that I post are healthy. Well, not everything has to be healthy. These little chocolate cakes are a fluffy indulgence and a great way of using up extra sour cream or cream in the fridge before it goes bad.
Quick Apple Crumble
Quick and easy homemade apple crumble. Even cooked from scratch it’s in the oven in less than 15 minutes and on the table in less than 40 minutes. Tastes better than store bought, especially because you can adjust it to exactly how you like it.
