You know when you fancy a simple light and airy sponge this is a great easy sponge recipe but by macerating the blueberries and adding a little elderflower cordial to the cream it just takes it to the next level.

Chicken Tikka Masala
I love pretty much most foods but Indian food I definitely have a soft spot for. Being a bit on the predictable side (when it comes to ordering food 🙂 when we go to a restaurant or get take away I usually go for 1 of 2 options – Tikka Masala or chicken Mahkanwala. At…
Garlic Naan Bread
I was thinking about making curry the other day but really it’s not complete unless you’ve got a wedge of garlic naan bread to scoop all the juices in. But of course there was no naan bread in the cupboard. I love when you improvise and try to make it yourself and it turns out…

Pizza Base Recipe
There are only 4 ingredients in this pizza base – flour, salt, warm water and yeast. 2 things I always have in my store cupboard are yeast and strong white flour. Only takes a few minutes to throw together initially and then leave it for 1-1.5 hours to work its magic and then the fun…
