Chocolate Beetroot Cake

My friend Omaira is a great writer and journalist, and you can read her work here on her blog. She has written extensively about her son, Hermes, who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Hermes is on a strict regimen of meds and diet, and I have decided to bake a cake that doesn’t use any…

Simple Chocolate Brownies

  I have posted about brownies before on this blog – they were a very rich, gooey and super-chocolatey Double Fudge Chocolate Oreo Brownies. But my recent trip to Lidl (where I bought waffle moulds to make this Waffles recipe) had me buying these silicone brownie moulds. I cannot make the super gooey oreo brownies in…

Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

Pancake Day/Shrove Tuesday is in 9 days time, and since I have made quite a few pancake recipes, I thought maybe I’d try making fillings that can be eaten with pancakes and crepes.

Double Chocolate Fudge and Oreo Brownies

Halloween Anniversary Trilobite Chocolate Cake

Last week it was Halloween. A few days before that it was also our Wedding Anniversary. 8 years! The idea to combine George’s love for weird creepy crawly looking fossils and my love of chocolate just came naturally. This was my first attempt at making a decorative cake, and I have to say, George and…

Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

Pardon the kinda-blurry picture. I only managed to take 2 photos of these cookies before they were devoured. Here is another better looking photo for you to enjoy. I will update this post in the future with more pictures. As with my earlier post, it is Christmas and I enjoy making cookies during the holiday…
