Paul A. Young's Sea Salted Caramel Class

Surprise!

When Kat's fiancé Dan asked for Christmas present advice and he mentioned a Paul A. Young class I knew he was on to a winner.

Sea Salted Caramel Class

Kat and I have met Paul and watched many of his demonstrations at shows. This was us at the Taste of Christmas last year with our signed aprons at Paul's truffle making workshop.

Double Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies

Now who doesn't love a good chocolate chip cookie and even more when they are on the healthy side right?

I had planned to make chocolate chip cookies this week but after reading Amanda Bootes Banana and Oat Cookie post she inspired me to try something a little more healthy. After several batches and recipe tweaks later these were the end result; with only a few ingredients and no special equipment needed this is a very simple all in one recipe.

Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea at the Sanderson

My friends and I have been meaning to try the Mad Hatter's Afternoon Tea at the Sanderson Hotel for a while now. We always like to go for a meal or afternoon tea for birthdays and Kat's was no different - so off to the Sanderson Hotel it was.

They invite you to "tumble down the rabbit hole"
and you absolutely get that Alice and Wonderland feeling.

Chocolate and Almond Biscotti

I loved making the biscotti pictured in my DIY tea bags post and I have since made several batches so I thought I would share with you my recipe for a crisp and crunchy chocolate and almond biscotti.

Biscotti means twice baked and that is exactly what these are. Originally made during war time as they can be stored for long periods so perfect for making in advance.

Happy 1 Year Blogiversary!

I can't believe it has been one year since I wrote my first post - wow how time flies!
I started this blog mainly to record my recipes because there is nothing worse than not being able to recreate a great dish or a yummy cake because you can't remember how you did it.
But it has also become a great place to log, kind of like a diary to look back on, some of the great places I've visited and things I've done whilst in London and further afield.
