Every day is still Christmas...! 😉🎄🤣 with a homemade cookie box. 😁 Hope you've had a lovely weekend. 🙋‍♀️☀️💕
Favourite cookies, and vegan 😊👍 Deliciously buttery, tender, melt in the mouth flavoursome with a great macadamia crunch. Revamped the illustrated recipe here but will draw up a new improved illustration this year (new year's resolution). Original full recipe on the blog - link in bio then search for vegan macadamia cookies. Made these ones smaller - rounded teaspoon (about 12g) and added 1/4 or 1/2 macadamia nut on top.
First vegan galette des rois! Praliné-citrus...😋 Imperfect pattern but happily surprised at first try at homemade vegan puff pastry - adapted recipe from French book 'A l'école de la pâtisserie vegan' by Linda Vongdara. It works!!! Yum yum 😊👍Next time a bit less lemon and more praliné.
Best of 2021 on IG, according to statistics but also very fond of these 😄👍Wishing everyone a great, better, happy 2022🍾🥂🌟😊🎉💕
Gingerbread train delivery - crackers and sweeties! 😁🚂🍬To go with the cheese. Swipe to see cool train driver.😉 Fun project over a few days, slightly adapting free Tesco Gingerbread train template (online). See previous IG post for how to find gingerbread recipe and make sleigh. Asian shrimp sticks a bit strong, charcoal sourdough crackers delish but scarily black, sourdough cheese cloud crackers nice and airfryer African chin chin crackers very nice. Further experiments needed. 😀 Happy New Year to you...soon! 🙋‍♀️🥂🎊🧡
Reindeer cheese delivery! 😂🦌🧀 With physalis (golden berries) cause they look like mini oranges - also taste lovely and fresh. Made the sleigh and reindeer with the Sweetly Does It cookie cutter set - works well, but next time I'd roll the gingerbread a little thicker so the reindeer's body sits more snugly on its legs (he was a bit wobbly and his 2 friends became legless 🤦‍♀️😄). Also forgot to do 3 (not 2) rectangles for the box bit but had extra dough left. 👍For my easy, yummy gingerbread recipe, link to blog on bio, then search for gingerbread village cake (double quantities of dough - 280g flour).

Lovely stuff you guys made from the blog!

Beautiful seed and nut loaf made by Claudette
A delicious seed and nut loaf made by Claudette in London. She reports ‘cannot stop eating it … it is really delicious’ And she used more pumpkin than sunflower seeds and a little chestnut flour too.
Cake Anglais-fruitcake
A beautiful orange and rum fruitcake-cake Anglais fruitcake made by Dookes! Looks moist and delicious! Dookes’ comments: ‘seriously good!’ and ‘fantastico’!! You can find the guest post recipe at http://wp.me/p2sQo3-US And Dookes’ cake report is at https://hogriderdookes.wordpress.com/2015/03/18/lilis-biker-cake-made-and-tasted/ on his Hogrider Dookes blog.
Apple tarte tatin with Chinese five spices and Tamarind with maple syrup caramel
A fantastic slice of Apple tarte tatin with Chinese 5 spices and Tamarind by Claudette, aka mum! :) It was very nice and using maple syrup is ‘genius’ she reports. The Pink Lady apples used were ‘lovely, juicy and firm’ and cooked on the ring a little over 10 mins. Plus the pastry browned quite quickly so was covered with foil towards the end.
Raspberry charlotte
A fabulous Raspberry charlotte by Kate! Loads of raspberries and great sponge finger casing! The assembly part was actually really easy! and ‘it tasted amazing’ she says, adding it ‘will definitely become a regular pudding in our household!’
Healthier spelt digestives made my Claudette
Perfect healthy spelt digestive biscuits by Claudette in London. So yummy for tea! :)
A scrumptious orange and rum fruitcake-cake Anglais
Scrumptious orange & rum fruitcake-cake Anglais by Stéphanie in Tahiti ‘This cake is just delicious :) I brought one in the office today and it just vanished in a few minutes! Every one loved it :)’ she reports. Lovely local rum, vanilla, honey!
Brioche rolls
Lovely brioche rolls made by Annette in New Zealand! ‘They turned out really well thanks, my boys certainly enjoyed them, all gone now!’ she reports. But be careful – she noticed that if you don’t use invert sugar or honey but just caster sugar, you’ll need to add a little extra water.
Yummy wholemeal spelt croissants made by Dookes. They look very well-shaped and nicely risen too! Dookes says: for a first attempt I have to say I’m pretty pleased. They certainly pass the taste test and have the seal of approval from Kate!’

Le Gâteau Moka
A stunning Gâteau Moka by Kate in Cornwall. The piping is wonderful and she was very pleased with it. She also mentions the cake was delish! :)
Lamingtons
Extremely tasty-looking Lamingtons by Annette in New Zealand. Lovely and moist even without cream inside, she reports. So tempting piled up on that pretty plate. Yum!
