A Cornish girl's food adventures
What better Autumn teatime treat could there be than a slice of sweetly spiced loaf cake baked with butternut squash and sweet dried apricots? This cake is deliciously moist (sorry, I don’t have another word for it!) and a little like a fruitier carrot cake. […]
As far as I’m concerned shortbread of any description is pretty irresistible but this recipe is especially so. These biscuits are buttery and crumbly with the luxurious touch of rich dark chocolate. The combination of tender coconut, warming crystallised ginger and zingy lime is just […]
