I like baking. Scroll down to see what I've made!
So in another blog post I wrote where I cooked from a cook book from 1975, I mentioned two very vintage recipes in it that I said I would tackle.
As I travel back to the 70’s, join me as I open the Be-Ro book once more and tackle Tuna and Egg Turnovers, and Pineapple Upside Down Cake…

I go for afternoon quite a lot. It’s probably one of my favourite things to do.
I think it’s only fair that when I go for afternoon tea, I review it on my blog.
This will also be an excellent excuse to go and have afternoon tea more often, as obviously I need to review as many places as I can! I know all four of my readers are keen to know where I think the best places for afternoon tea are.
And by ‘everyone’, I mean three people because there are only three jars of it.
I made strawberry jam!
One of my colleagues is pregnant and someone came up with the idea of revealing whether it was a boy or a girl to the office via a cake.
I also got bitten by many, many mosquitoes and ate a lot of bread and cheese, but that’s a different blog post.
I went on holiday to Nice in France, and my friend found a leaflet for a sweet factory tour in our hotel lobby. From reading this blog, even though we’re only about six posts in, hopefully you’ve gathered that I have a bit of a sweet tooth. So obviously I had to go!

Weeks that are full of cake are the best weeks, I think.
I kicked off the week with a banoffee pie, made a pear and honey cake as my next bake, and then made even more over the weekend.
I love summer!! It’s my favourite time of year until the end of November when I start getting excited about Christmas.
Who am I kidding? I start getting excited about Christmas in July.
I digress.

Let me tell you, if there’s one person with as many cookbooks as me, it’s my mum.
I went home one weekend to dog sit and the dog was a bit clingy as my mum and dad were away and she didn’t really want to do anything.
For my birthday, one of my best friends bought me a three month subscription to Bakes Box, which is very exciting.
Basically, a box turns up every month with a load of ingredients and a recipe in it, and you make what’s inside. It’s definitely more fun than bills and pizza menus, which is usually the kind of post I get. Continue reading “Bakes Box: Whipped Chocolate Ganache Doughnuts”
At the end of last year my dad was diagnosed with cancer. After an operation to remove it, he’s been going to hospital every other week for chemo, which hasn’t been all that fun for him at all.
Anyway, he’s now finished his chemo and went back in to get the results of his CT scan to make sure he’s cancer free.
