Buttery chocolate pastry. A creamy chocolate filling infused with orange and rosemary. And lots of cocoa dusted aaalll over this incredible tart which is like a baked chocolate mousse crossed with, um, something divine.

Banana Coconut Granola (Vegan, Gluten-Free)
Granola that tastes like banana bread, is definitely healthier that most banana breads and can easily give banana breads a run for their money. So good. Packed with flavour and all the good stuff in the world. Plus, ridiculously quick to make. I have two giant jars of this sitting on my dining table right now…
Coconut Flour Almond Cake (Gluten Free)
Ok, new plan. We don’t eat an entire batch of cookies in one setting, and instead, make a tiny little cake which is full of the good stuff and eat that in one go. All aboard? Good. I give you a mini loaf cake with coconut flour, ground almonds, honey aaaaand dark chocolate (because I’m…
Rosemary Olive Oil Shortbread (Eggless)
As with the first Smitten Kitchen cookbook, I’m going through the new one, Smitten Kitchen Every Day like it’s going to evaporate from my hands in the next four minutes. So, so hard deciding what to bake first! The recipes are fun, approachable and most important, always delicious. I’ve followed Deb and her amazing writing…
Strawberry Pancakes with Buckwheat & Rye

Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Icebox Cakes
Every year I tell myself that heart-shaped food around Valentine’s Day is the most ridiculous invention in the world. And every year I get out my heart-shaped cookie cutter anyway. For once though, I did this without meaning to. In the quest to make a smaller cake that two people could easily finish, I decided to…
Buckwheat Crepes (Gluten-Free)
Weekend breakfasts for me are usually no different from weekday ones as far as the timing goes. So anything that requires too much prep time is definitely out, because I’m pretty much ready to eat within half an hour of waking up. And then I discovered crepes. Crispy edged crepes that take 5 minutes to make,…
Gooey Chocolate Chunk & Orange Cookies
Ever since I discovered that this epic recipe could be scaled down to create a smaller batch of epic cookies, I’m baking them almost every week. Dangerous but so good. This time, I decided to swap the chips for some ooey gooey chocolate chunks and fresh orange zest. Zippy, melty, incredible.
Orange & Poppy Seed Scones (Eggless)
Why I don’t eat scones for breakfast more often is something I’ve asked myself a hundred times since making these. Because this timeless flavour combination should really feature more often in my life, and in yours! Buttery, tender, super easy scones bursting with fresh orange zest and crunchy poppy seeds. A pat of butter on…
