Apple & Thyme Fat Sausage Rolls
The humble sausage roll in all it’s glory. It’s a staple in our household, especially for my Fiancé. I think he would eat them everyday if he could! I adore a homemade sausage roll, but I mainly made these for him. I like either a mini sausage roll or a massive one, preferably the size of my hand. These are elevated by making a gorgeously buttery rough puff pastry and, although you can use shop-bought puff pastry in a pinch, I think it’s completely worth the extra effort.
Pecan Tarts with Muscovado Cream
It’s officially comfort food season, and I don’t know what’s more comforting than a gooey pecan tart with a little mountain of soft muscovado whipped ganache on top.
Cherry Lemon Meringue Pie
Flaky golden pie crust, smooth and creamy baked lemon filling and a bright purple cherry compote. All finished with a delightfully light torched italian meringue. The perfect seasonal lemon meringue pie.
Strawberry Jam Cornflake Pie
Flaky pastry, fruity strawberry jam, sweet sugary cornflakes and a soft whipped cream. A slice that tastes like a big bowl of fruity cereal and milk. She’s fancy with her frilly piping but still a wholesome and humble pie. I made this in my extra deep 9-inch pie dish because I wanted her to be T-H-I-C-K. She’s exactly what I envisioned. And my big fat slice of pie craving has well and truly been satisfied.
Butternut Squash, Mushroom & Gorgonzola Quiche
I grew up eating quiche. It evokes light summer dinners in the garden and a surprise piece nestled in my lunch box. My mum can whip one up in no time; a talent I'm yet to master.
This is my grown-up take, full of fresh rosemary and mushrooms. You can switch out the rosemary to sage for my favourite butternut squash herb pairing. I always hope it will last us a few meals but it seems to be devoured within a day or two!
