Do you fancy something a bit different? I often get stuck in a rut with my baking so it is always a real treat to try something new. These lemon and cranberry muffins are delightfully refreshing and make for a change to our usual fare. I used spelt flour too to give them a bit more texture and flavour.

With the arrival of soy sauce on tap in the shop I am discovering lots of new recipes and this sesame noodle bowl is a real stunner. Quick, tasty and satisfying it is everything I want in a meal and perfect for summer evenings.. The flavours go really well together (yes, even the desiccated coconut) and the whole thing took me less than half an hour to prepare. It’s true! Give it a try.
Plus all the ingredients are available in Crickhowell and the local area, so no need to go to a supermarket. We got the chard, spring onions and peas from Moor Park Garden, fresh herbs from the garden, a few bits and pieces from Cashells and the rest from Natural Weigh…of course.

I always think it’s the simplest recipes which benefit most from really good quality ingredients to become something truly special. We picked up some of our new stoneground plain flour and, to put it to the test, I made this Victoria sponge. The unbleached flour gives the sponge a delicious golden hue. It rose beautifully and has a gorgeous flavour. Simple, but also infinitely special.

Veggie burgers have been a bit hit and miss in my experience but these went down well in our house. In fact, I think Rob mentioned how much he was enjoying them three times during the meal! Definitely a winner. And they go wonderfully well with some sweet potato chips, mixed summer salad and gorgeous wall to wall sunshine. Enjoy! Continue reading Carrot & lentil burgers
I know my recipes recently have been dominated by chocolate but seriously, chocolate is delicious so why not? :P. These chocolate muffins are lovely and quick to make and we ALWAYS have all the ingredients sat in the cupboard. You can customise easily with adding different nuts, dried fruit or even chocolate chunks. Continue reading Chocolate muffins
