This recipe is for banana bread. It is an old recipe I have adapted. I made it on a regular basis for my niece and nephew when they were younger as a way of getting some fruit into them to give them a bit of a treat but with a healthy twist. I make it now for my toddler who I can only mange to get fruit with the exceptions of bananas. ...  Read the complete review

You can leave out the spice to make chocolate biscuits, or leave out the cocoa to make spiced biscuits, but it really is ...  Read the complete review

I'm a bit embarrassed to review such a simple recipe and I'm not sure it even counts as baking... This is my fall back short notice treat and I haven't met anyone who doesn't love it!

I think pineapple upside down cake has to be one of my favourite comfort foods during winter and generally when I need a pick me up. It also takes me back to my childhood watching and learning how to cook and then scoffing the end result. I am not really keen on glace cherries, I tend to squint just trying to eat one, then end up pick them out of ...  Read the complete review

He prefers them to be on the ...  Read the complete review
