Recipes & tips for filling bottomless pits
I’ve never been one to skip breakfast, and now i’m a 5:2 dieter it’s become even more important. Not only do I need to make sure I fill up enough on a fast day to get me through the day, I will then spend the rest of that day obsessing about what I shall eat [...]
Arlo is obsessed with zombies. I think it comes from a combination of Scooby Doo and the Plants Vs Zombies game on the iPad. So when I asked him what kind of cake he’d like for his fourth birthday party, it had to be a depiction of the living dead. Naturally. We didn’t want to [...]

I don’t have a super sweet tooth, so really enjoy the sourness of rhubarb in desserts. Sara Buenfield’s recipe for rhubarb and orange cake in May’s Good Food Magazine has been on my to-bake list [...]

I just wanted to share the results of the photoshoot I worked on last week for UKTV’s Good Food Channel website with my good friend and very talented photographer Sharron Gibson. Part one of the assignment was to make and photograph a series of cupcake recipes by Crumbs Couture - so I spent two days [...]
I spotted these gorgeous fellas in this month’s Good Food Magazine and immediately thought they’d be perfect for Sam’s lunchbox and also for post-school munchies. They’ve got mashed cooked carrot in, along with pineapple chunks and juice and a healthy scattering of sunflower seeds so you can feel quite virtous eating them despite the fact [...]

This simple brownie recipe is ideal if you need to come up with the goods for a school cake stall but don’t have a lot of time to spare. You can’t beat a slab of chocolate brownie after a long week at school – especially one drizzled with melted chocolate and topped with white chocolate [...]
