Toffee & Dark Chocolate Chunk Bacon Fat Cookies
A cookie for my fellow savoury sweet lovers. These cookies are made using brown butter and rendered bacon fat. I’m big on no food waste so for any households that go through a fair bit of bacon, this could be the answer for all that leftover bacon fat. I’ve packed the cookie dough full of toffee shards, dark chocolate chunks and finely diced crispy bacon. The result is a chewy cookie with a crispy edge and pools of rich chocolate and butterscotch toffee.
Citrus Curd & Pistachio Meringue Tarts
Biting into these, you hit that mallowy meringue first before the citrus curd, compote and frangipane all incased in crumbly pastry. Sometimes a punchy zing from a fresh grapefruit segment chiming in. Its reminiscent of fancy marmalade on toast and it was an absolute joy to make.
Vanilla Panna Cotta with Rhubarb Compote
This creamy, soft panna cotta speckled with vanilla bean pairs perfectly with a tangy sweet rhubarb compote. A simple and easy dessert to put together but one that you won’t forget. Forced rhubarb in it’s beautiful pink hues, needs to be used at every opportunity while it’s in season. A delight to serve at the dinner table.
Forced Rhubarb & Ginger Gingham Swiss Roll
This pink gingham swiss roll is whimsical and it adds a pop of colour to your afternoon coffee and cake. I am a true rhubarb lover and, like many other foodies, await the arrival of forced Rhubarb as if its Christmas morning. Pair it with fluffy ginger cream and it's absolute heaven.
Raspberry & Elderflower Cheesecake Love Heart Doughnuts
These romantic little treats are filled with an elderflower cheesecake cream and tangy raspberry compote. The base of the cream is an elderflower cream cheese whipped ganache with crushed digestives folded through. The punchy raspberry compote just brings the whole thing to life.
Pear, Almond & Chocolate Baked Oats
My current breakfast fixation; pear, almond & chocolate baked oats its gooey, nutty, and rich with little pockets of sweet soft pear scattered on top. I've made it 3 times in a row already.
