Recipe: Pistachio, Raspberry and Rose Cakes (Vegan and Gluten-Free)
Today was the VegMel Vegan Pot-Luck Picnic, to which I was invited by the lovely Steph from VeganAboutTown (who made some of my recipes! How cool is it when people actually make your recipes? And change them? And then you…
Recipe: Mildly Courageous Potatoes
(NB: still no idea what’s happening with shifting web-hosting, which is making me reluctant to post much here just now, in case I hit exactly the wrong window and it all gets deleted. Sorry. I had no idea it would…
Recipe: Roast Potatoes with No Photos (Because we ATE THEM ALL)

Recipe: Strawberry, Lemon and Walnut Balls
Just a quick post today – I have a whole bunch of things in the works to write about, but I somehow wound up spending a lot of the afternoon making the aforementioned elaborate pasta bake for friends who are…
Recipe: Perfumed Blood Orange and Cardamom Cake
Tonight was our regular fortnightly dinner party with friends who live down the road, and really should have been an excellent excuse to practice wedding cakes. The trouble is, I am currently fighting a psychological battle on the subject of…
