I love my cookbooks, my many, many cookbooks, but let’s be honest, they are neglected. So neglected that I tried to make myself look at them and sort of review them last year but it didn’t really work (read the results HERE, in fact I don’t think I ever go…
It’s coming up to Easter which means that every recipe will now be adorned with mini eggs, chocolate bunnies and chicks. And this one is no different. The boys wanted to do Easter baking. I agreed but wanted to keep it simple. They consulted their “Children’s Cookbook” and Cathal (4)…
Last September I received the Happy Pear Cookbook to review and having loved the their healthy Caramel Slices and seeing Jill from Properfud raving about their healthy version of Twix bars I had to check them out. Jill was right, these are magnificent. And all they contain is fruit…
It was Cathal’s 4th birthday last week. He’s my middle child and every year he likes to test my birthday party planning by throwing a spanner in the works. Last year he insisted on a shop-bought Peppa Pig Cake from Tesco rather than one of the homemade delights that…

The title lies and the lawyer and perfectionist in me feels bound to come clean. Despite being called a traybake there is absolutely no baking involved in this recipe, it’s a melt and mix job. Better still it’s a “melt it all together recipe” with no precariously positioned bowls on…
Toblerone Cheesecake I’ve always been a Toblerone fan. When I was a child Toblerone was a luxury, the reserve of Easter Eggs and Duty Free. I have happy memories of eating Toblerone on another continent, jet lagged, with no food available thanks to a late flight and the only edible…
