I love making cookies for gifts because one recipe usually yields LOTS of cookies … and more often than not, one cookie base can be turned into a wide variety of flavours simply by varying the topping. Today I had some leftover cookie dough from a previous recipe and I am turning this one into a sweet lavender shortbread cookie. Perfect for teatime guests and gifts.

This tart was inspired by my recent trip to Brittany, France. We went for just a weekend and returned home with quite a few delicious local products, one of them being a jar of St-Malo salted butter caramel. Warm tart, gooey caramel and a scoop of vanilla ice cream … sounds like perfection to me.

Today’s recipe is a themed cupcake, using a Guinness cupcake recipe, homemade vanilla buttercream and some handcrafted sugar decorations. These cupcakes would be very much appreciated at any St Paddy’s Day party.

Latest baking equipment purchased. I understand that it is a uni-tasker (Alton Brown might not approve) … but can’t have Madeleines without, so we shall make an exception.

Delightfully delectable mini blueberry cheese tarts; these are very popular back home and have a very distinct look about them. Sweet pastry dough filled with creamy cream cheese, with a blueberry swirl. So happy to have found the recipe and I can now share it with my readers.

I’m just about done with the winter chill, so I thought I’d liven things up a bit in the kitchen with these tropic-inspired pancakes. Hopefully when I bite into them I’ll smell the sea breeze; feel the sand between my toes and hear the crashing of waves. Happy Shrove everybody!

A happy coincidence that turned out well in my favour. This is a super simple dessert that can be whipped up in a matter of minutes and it uses all the basic ingredients that’s lying about your kitchen … except perhaps the Irish Cream liquor. Not one for the kids, mind!
