These wholemeal oat and chocolate cookies are truly perfect. Packed with oats—so many, in fact, that you probably would not guess just how much oatmeal they contain from the taste alone. And, of course, there is plenty of chocolate. They are among our all-time favourites
Chocolate cupcakes made from the same mayonnaise-enriched batter you may already know from chocolate layer cakes. Enhanced with fruit, these cupcakes are wonderfully moist, rich and intensely chocolatey. Because the sponge is quite delicate, it works
A cake that still smells of summer… And it does not even matter if you think you do not like desiccated coconut — here, even coconut sceptics will enjoy it. The recipe author herself, Nigella Lawson, calls it a “Bounty cake”, which should already be recommendation enough :).
A wonderfully old-fashioned English walnut cake with coffee buttercream. One of my English friends bakes it for every important occasion, including Christmas. I still remember when she brought this cake to school for a festive gathering — everyone would come
A quick, refreshing and light cake with lemon mousse made with kefir or buttermilk, topped with peaches and jelly. In my kitchen it goes by the name “Cytrynka”(Little Lemon), though you can easily make it in your favourite flavour — how about a raspberry or blueberry
Apricot and raspberry crumble is one of those wonderfully simple desserts with an absolutely irresistible flavour. Apricots and raspberries work beautifully together — you simply have to try this combination this summer! And when you add the perfect buttery crumble topping
I absolutely love tangy desserts — the sharper, the better! And these lemon and rhubarb muffins are exactly that kind of treat. Sweet yet pleasantly tart, filled with plenty of rhubarb and finished with a crisp sugar topping. They’re wonderfully soft, rise beautifully

When it gets a bit cooler, I like to spend time in the kitchen baking cookies ;). Today’s recipe is a lighter version of oat cookies – wholemeal oat cookies with prunes. They’re made without butter, using just two (!) tablespoons of oil, with wholemeal flour
It couldn’t really be simpler – peanut butter, an egg and sugar. One, two, three and you’ll have delicious, easy peanut butter cookies ready to enjoy! They’re also flourless and made without baking powder or bicarbonate of soda. Despite that, they rise nicely

Do you know and love amaretti? Try their soft version :). These soft almond amaretti have a delicate crisp shell and a soft, slightly chewy centre, reminiscent of classic macarons. They’re sweet, irresistible and impossible to stop at just one. They’re also a perfect
A traditional Yorkshire gingerbread, usually eaten on Bonfire Night (5 November), although well known throughout the UK and baked all year round. How is it different from our gingerbreads? It is soft, very sticky and moist, made with molasses and oatmeal.
