This is the recipe my Nanna used to make, it reminds me of summer holidays and Christmases. It is slightly alcoholic and very fizzy so take care when opening the bottles. I always do it over the sink.

Potato Scones
This is one of those recipes that I’ve kept thinking I should do and have never got round to before.

Incredible Chocolate Cake
It’s another Mary Berry one and it is everything I’ve ever wanted in a chocolate cake. This was the first of hopefully many holiday baking days with my daughter and while our presentation may not be professional the cakes taste amazing

Elderflower Cordial
I love elderflowers. I love the creamy white floatiness of the flowers, their incredible scent and most of all I love the flavour. I’ve made a few batches of cordial this year so it was time to try this one.

My Favourite Chocolate Brownies
I’m not bad at baking, sometimes things might not look as nice as they could but they usually taste good. These brownies however are amazing.

Cheesy soft rolls
I saw this recipe in a sourdough bread group on FB. It’s great to prepare one day ready for breakfast the next morning. Also nice with a bit of balsamic vinegar although my husband prefers a dash of Henderson’s Relish. I keep threatening to add a touch of marmite but as I’m the only one who likes it I’d have to eat all the rolls….

Sourdough Pita
I’ve been doing quite well with my bakers yeast based pita (making a batch every other week) but the sourdough way of life tends to take over and so it’s time to try out a new recipe.

Cornflake Tart
This is one of my husband’s favourites, and whereas I wasn’t keen on shop bought versions I must admit I really like my own, possibly because I do the pastry thinner.

Sourdough Muffins
Well it had to happen, my daughter’s love of muffins and my search on how to use sourdough has combined. I found this great recipe here

Grandma’s Citrus Cordial
I can’t remember when my mum started making this. I must have drunk barrels worth of the stuff over the years. She used to make ice lollies out of the orange juice in the summer and it’s the best hot honey and lemon when I was poorly. I’ve added lime and clementine versions, seriously we at the stage if the fruit is hanging around it’s gets turned into cordial.
