A delicious, soft butter cake with bananas and cinnamon. Perfect for those moments when you’re wondering what to do with overripe bananas ;). Quick to make, and it tastes like a little escape to sunny Spain in the middle of winter…

Perfect chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel and popcorn. Honestly, it’s hard to resist at every stage of making them: licking the bowl with the batter, tasting the caramel, then the delicious frosting… Topped with popcorn (oh my!) and drizzled with extra caramel sauce.

For fans of strawberries and white chocolate. A quick no-bake strawberry cheesecake with white chocolate, made with either cream cheese or traditional curd cheese. The strawberry flavour isn’t overly sharp or fresh – instead, it reminds me more of creamy strawberry ice cream :).

Toffee Pavlova with cinnamon and figs. By using a mix of brown sugar and white sugar (half and half), the meringue takes on a beautiful toffee-like flavour :). This recipe caught my attention because of its unusual method – completely different from how I used to make Pavlova.

A light strawberry meringue cake with… no cream at all, so no added fat. We bake a sponge, layer it twice with strawberry filling (which soaks beautifully into the sponge), then finish the whole cake with meringue and flaked almonds. This strawberry and meringue

How often do you buy these kinds of cookies? If the answer is “a bit too often”, it’s definitely worth making them at home :). These jam cookies are absolutely delicious – buttery, crumbly and very easy to make. It’s really just a matter of mixing a few ingredients together.

Pistachio cheesecake is a truly original festive dessert. With pistachio paste, white chocolate and a delicate hint of rose… it’s simply stunning! I had never tried such a flavour combination before and wasn’t sure what to expect – it was a bit of an experiment ;).

A moist rhubarb and orange cake soaked with a fragrant fruit syrup. The well-known “Rhubarb Triangle” in Yorkshire is famous for its pink forced rhubarb, available from January to April. It’s the last chance to enjoy it before outdoor-grown rhubarb takes over.

A vibrant green smoothie made with kale, pear and pineapple :). This flavour combination was suggested by one of my readers – and it works beautifully! A perfect boost of energy to start your day or enjoy as a light afternoon pick-me-up.

Panna cotta has never been so refreshing or so full of flavour :). It’s all thanks to the passion fruit pulp, which is strained and added directly to the dessert – the taste is incredible! The chilled panna cotta is served on slices of ripe mango and…

A simple rhubarb traybake on a shortcrust base. It’s quite low, which means there’s not a lot of cake… and somehow it disappears from the tin before you know it :). Delicious, refreshing and moreish with every bite. I used pink forced rhubarb, but you can absolutely use

A popcorn cheesecake that goes straight to the heart and delights the senses ;). A vanilla cheesecake (intentionally not too tall), topped with a layer of salted caramel and crunchy popcorn. It tastes absolutely incredible and looks just as impressive. It doesn’t sink

After rose ice cream, a rose Pavlova simply had to follow. For now, it’s paired with strawberries and pistachios, but later in the summer it’s just as delicious with raspberries. This rose Pavlova with strawberries is truly hard to beat :). If you enjoy floral flavours, be

A baking theme that’s been popular for quite some time – unicorns! It’s safe to say that unicorn cupcakes never go out of style, and you’re never too old for them. I originally planned to make them for Children’s Day, but didn’t manage in time – so I made them later…

Funnel cakes are quick, pourable fried treats that are very popular in North America. The batter is poured directly into hot oil (traditionally through a funnel, but it’s much easier to use a bottle with a small hole), then fried and served sweet. They’re incredibly quick

A wonderful savoury tart with vegetables and blue cheese – I could happily eat it every day ;). It features a tender curd cheese pastry base, topped with broccoli, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes and two types of cheese. It’s absolutely delicious served warm, straight from

A slightly different take on the classic French Fraisier cake – made with almond meringue layers and a silky strawberry mousse. This delicate, summery almond cake with strawberry mousse is simply irresistible :). You can also swap the strawberries for raspberries

A modern take on a classic chocolate cake with cherries – this one includes not only cocoa but also a generous amount of chocolate :). That’s why I decided it doesn’t even need a chocolate glaze. And it truly doesn’t – this chocolate cherry cake is
