Carina’s 6th Birthday

When asked of a soon to be 6 year old little girl what they want for a birthday cake you probably wouldn't expect 'Rock and Roll'. Well that's exactly what my niece asked for. Last year it was Disney's Frozen this year it was rock'n'roll! Rock on girl!!! I knew I wanted to make a …

Spelt and Quinoa Scones

I was in London with a friend for a long weekend recently. We caught up with a few pals over a light bite at Le Quotidenne Pain in St. Pancras before our train journey home. I'm not a massive fan of quinoa but their spelt and quinoa scones with strawberry and rhubarb jam plus ricotta …
