This is a recipe from One Day One Dish book by SeaShore publishers which I bought when we were in Singapore. In the book, the recipe is called Chocolate Rice Sprinkle but instead I replaced the chocolate rice with Hundreds and Thousands.
Cat’s Tongue Cookies
Cat’s Tongue Cookies is another recipe from The Secret of Cookies by Gu Huixue. I totally love this book my friend bought for me in Singapore! One of the ingredients is cake flour which I replaced with plain flour.
Simply Granola Bread
Making your own bread? Why not try adding granola, dates and walnuts or olives? Making bread can be so much fun! We have received a packet of Jordans Simply Granola crunchy baked oats with a hint of honey to try which is available to buy in Waitrose and Tesco at RRP £2.69 for 750g.
Almond & Sunflower Seed Tuiles
This is another recipe from The Secret of Cookies by Gu Huixue. In her book she has a recipe to bake almond tuiles. Instead of using all almond flakes, I am using a mix of sunflower seeds and almond flakes. Also one of the ingredients is cake flour which I replaced with plain flour.

Sundried Tomatoes Italian Bread
I love making my own bread as they always smell so nice. So today, Mr K and I decided to make Sundried Tomatoes Italian bread using Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Almond & Fruit Tarts
Yesterday, I was looking at fruit tarts from the supermarket and was inspired to try to make some for myself. I have always wanted to bake bite-size fruit tarts but know that getting the pastry right would be quite challenging. So I bought ready-made short crust for this first attempt and a tin of fruit salad.
Ice Cream Banana Crumble
My husband’s friend had given him a bunch of home-grown rhubarb and I decided to bake him rhubarb crumble using this recipe. But I had made too much of the crumble part and decided to make ice cream crumble for myself. So I mixed in almond flakes, sunflower seeds and chocolate chips into the crumble. I then laid it flat on to the Pyrex cooking sheet and baked for 10 minutes.
Cherry & Chocolate Chip Muffins
Today is National Cherry Day. I am so pleased to team up with OXO Good Grips to celebrate the day and bring you this simple recipe.
Lavender Shortbread
Three years ago, we had a landscape gardener design our front and back garden which included rows of lavender. The small patch of grass we had in our front garden was filled with yellow, golden stones. This year, the lavender has really bloomed and fills the front garden with a nice sweet smell. I’m really pleased with it this year – they’re absolutely gorgeous!

Shortbread Biscuits
Sweetheart sugar shortbread is a recipe I used from Cathryn Dresser’s book called Let’s Bake. I didn’t use a heart cookie cutter nor put sugar on the shortbread, hence it is named plain and simply Shortbread Biscuits.
