Boozy Cherry & Chocolate Roulade

October 24, 2011

I’ve been making Mary Berry’s chocolate roulade for years and after seeing roulades being made on the Great British Bake Off wet my appetite once again.  I also saw a tin of mouthwatering morello cherries and immediately thought they would be a perfect addition to this rich but light, mouthwatering dessert.

Friday Club Carnival- Poo!

April 7, 2011

This week’s Friday Club carnival theme from Ella at Notes from Home is on the delightful subject of ‘poo’.

Curried Parsnip Soup

February 16, 2011

A few weeks ago a friend gave me a delicious spicy parsnip soup for lunch, so being me I had to try and recreate it. I think I managed it. It really is moreish and very filling. Remember that with soups it is easy to play around with the quantities so if there is something [...]
