I just love this biscuit recipe and I have also promised myself I would work my way through the little collection of essential oils I received from Self Care Co. Archie loves cinnamon and he asked me a little while ago if the next time I made a batch I could do a cinnamon version.…
My dessert dish for the final presentation for the Fundamentals of Plant-based cooking for Plantlab Culinary. I love this chocolate cake as it is so easy and such a treat. I have never made Raspberry Sorbet before or a Cashew praline (let alone any praline) so this was very much a treat of an experiment…

Books and reading have always played a vital role in my life. In fact, my whole family has been blessed by this obsession. I have always said that aside from life, it is perhaps one of the greatest gifts that my father gave us all. My brother John is a wordsmith. He can put words…
