Easy 3-Ingredient Versatile Caramel Sauce

Simple and easy caramel, that I add to all sorts of sweet treats. It's my favourite to use for my millionaire shortbread, as well as cookies and sweet dough. The possibilities are endless! It takes only 5-10 minutes, and you can store it in the fridge. I've also put it in the freezer before, and left it on the counter to defrost, it tasted perfect!

Basic Fish Batter for your Homemade Takeaway

This is your go-to recipe for the easiest tasty deep fried fish batter, using ingredients you probably already have in the cupboard! I've used it on cod, haddock and sea bass fillets, this recipe will be enough for 2 fillets.

What type of potatoes do I need to use for each form of cooking?

Do you ever panic in the potato aisle trying to choose the perfect type of potato for dinner? It can get very confusing trying to remember which type of potatoes are best for mash, roast, chips, or salad. Use this post to find for the potatoes you need for your next dinner. I live in the UK so all of these potato types are British names.

STOP OVERTHINKING YOUR SOURDOUGH AND STARTER

If you're stressing about your sourdough, don't. (Doughn't). The stretching and folding process is fairly forgiving. I've often forgotten about my dough and it's been absolutely FINE. Don't panic, it's just bread.

Coffee & Walnut Cake with Cream Cheese Coffee Icing

Definitely moist & delicious, definitely will keep you awake if you eat it before bed. My version of the British classic coffee and walnut with coffee-flavoured cream cheese icing.

Toad in the Hole - My Version

My (enhanced) version of the classic British dish, with a couple of extras that make me happy. A hot comfort treat meal, especially through the winter months to evoke a bit of nostalgia. Serve with gravy, sauce, mash, vegetables, or just eat the entire dish of toad in the whole on its own! I like it with a bit of my own homemade mayonnaise too. And no, I don't know why it's called "Toad in the Hole", there are no amphibians involved.

Quick & Easy Peanut Cookies

A quick and easy cookie, no need to wait overnight or leave them in the fridge or freezer. Just mix the ingredients, pop them in the oven, and devour! Imagine eating a spoonful of peanut butter, but in cookie form, with more sugar.

Tartare Sauce (better than the local chippy!)

If you've got 5 minutes and a handful of ingredients then you can easily elevate your fish and chip dinner with some homemade tartar sauce for everyone. A classic British treat dinner, with your favourite sauce, better than shop bought, and better than the local chippy.

Peanut Butter Cups (better than Reese's!)

Have you ever got yourself a Reece's Peanut Butter cup and thought, "I need many, many more of these", or "what the heck are these ingredients?!" and "I want this to be twice as thick and ten times as tasty". Well, here I am to show you my recipe. No oven needed! Just a stovetop or hob, or something to melt the ingredients, and the patience to wait for it to set.

5 Ingredient No-Bake Flapjacks

A quick and easy beautifully British snack to make, and lasts about a week without needing to put in the freezer (although you definitely can!). Rich and buttery and sweet, with natural simple ingredients. This recipe is my go-to, and easy to customise. With a layer of chocolate on top, sprinkled with something healthy (or not), or some nuts or raisins mixed into the mixture. No oven needed! Just a stovetop or hob, or something to melt the ingredients, and the patience to

Potato Salad - Czech/European/Slavic/Olivier style

Potato salad is a core dish in Eastern European home cooking, and it's traditional for every family to have their own unique recipe. This particular version is based on my late father's recipe, who always measured from the heart. You might know this potato salad as a Czech or Slovak version, (eastern) European, Slavic, or Oliver style.
