Lemon Tarts

I’ve only very recently started making these lemon tarts and they have already become a staple in my repertoire having tried them out on my parents as a dessert for Sunday dinner, my boyfriend for a romantic meal and having made a large one for a big family barbecue. They’ve been a hit every single…

Spinach & Feta Tarts

Sunday bakes is back!! I apologise for the lack of yummy weekend treats of late. I don’t quite know how but the last few months have been a whirlwind and I’ve been so busy which hasn’t left much time for baking, but don’t panic I am back in the kitchen and back in the game…

Oxford’s Covered Market

 A few weeks ago I had a lovely weekend away in Oxfordshire. There were lots of things I was looking forward to seeing and doing in the historic city of Oxford, but top of my list was The Covered Market. Housed in a building dating back to the 1700s and having been operating for more…

Steak & Mushroom Pie

I’ve always found one of the most satisfying things to bake is a pie. No other meal you cook will be received with quite so much enthusiasm and anticipation as a homemade pie fresh from the oven. I have two favourites that I make quite regularly and since I featured the Chicken Pie recipe on…

The Smart School of Cookery – Three Course Masterclass

Last summer my cousin asked my sister and me if we’d be interested in doing a cookery class with her as she’d seen a Groupon voucher and thought it’d be fun. Along we went to The Smart School of Cookery, not really knowing too much about it as she had booked and organised the whole…

Classic Chicken Pie

I first started making Chicken Pie when I lived at uni… we didn’t exactly eat like ordinary students in my house as we all really loved food and had a few budding amateur chefs in residence… rarely was there a ready meal or a super noodle in sight! We were a proper little family and…
