Hi!

That's me in the corner

A word on measurements.

I grew up with good old fashioned ounces and to be honest cannot get my head around grams, they will forever be a mystery to me.  Having spent 15 years in America I can see the attraction of cups. Certain recipes just work in their original system of measurement, I would not dream of making scones in anything but cups, the beauty being that being a recipe based totally on cups it works with any cup.  A basic cake on the other hand should be made with imperial measures.  The Victoria sandwich is based on the measurement of an egg, which just happens to be around 2 ounces, and for every egg you add the same amount of butter, sugar and self raising flour.  Any self respecting eight year old can remember that recipe! As grams and ounces are both weight measurements they can be interchanged, up to a point. Cups are a volume measurement and are less consistent.  My advice to any bakers would be to invest in a set of scales which converts from ounces to grams and have a set of cups handy as well. I will star* the original measurements but try and give conversions where possible. Remember only use one set of measurements for each recipe. For further info click here

  • So, a bit of a change. Some afternoon treats to celebrate interns last day! A cross between Denmark and open sandwiches and British Afternoon Tea. With vegan options! Clockwise #peanutbutterballs #sconesjamandcream #tomatotoast #chickencoronation #cruditieswithhummus #veganshortbreadcookies #cupcakes #darkchocolatecoveredstrawberries #grazingtray #afternoonsnack
  • Working on some treats for some mates at @hayvncoworking. Today’s challenge is adapting recipes to make them vegan friendly. Just make these shortbreads with @miyokoscreamery cultured vegan butter, a cashew based spread which is also lactose and GMO free. Slightly heavier texture than with regular butter but rather delicious. Will post finished tray later! #vegan #afternoon-treats #baking #cookies #shortbreadcookies #iamsomartha #ontrendbaking
  • Feel a little like one of the three bears, who has been eating my cupcakes? #cupcakes
  • Shoutout to @gm_cupcake for the idea of putting strawberries into cupcakes. Today’s offerings are strawberry, almond and yogurt cupcakes. So gorgeous, they might not need to be frosted! But the real joy was using my new scoop. Consistent sizes and so much easier than my old two teaspoon method. #cupcakes #strawberrycupcakes #lovewhatyoudo
  • Love morning routines. Mine? Feed the dog, have a cup of tea, make my husband breakfast to go. Today’s offering is overnight oats ( ahh, more like two hours) with chia seeds, cacao nibs, almond milk, strawberries, bananas, topped with plain Greek yogurt and dehydrated strawberries 🍓 What’s your morning routine? Oh and driving my husband to the station! #overnightoats #overnightoatsrecipe #breakfast #breakfasttogo #1950shousewife #lovemylife #family #summertime
  • Rocking chicken with tarragon and cream sauce, spring vegetables with lemon and peppers and smashed roasted potatoes. I know, it’s only MONDAY! Pan fry chicken and then deglaze with a little wine. Reduce and add heavy cream to finish and picked tarragon leaves. Blanche vegetables and stir fry adding lemon and pepper at the end. Par boil potatoes, smash with a tattie masher, drizzle with olive oil and then roast in a high oven. Delish! #favourite #bestmeal #monday #mondaymotivation
  • Reposting this on its own as I am Obsessed with this photo! #beach #boats #capecod #provincetown #ptown #lifeisgood
  • Fabulous day out in Provincetown yesterday. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Took so many photos, reminded me of being in that impossibly photogenic city Copenhagen #capecod #lovecapecod #lovecopenhagen
