THERE’S SO MUCH CHRISTMAS IN THESE COOKIES! These are soft and chewy with an unbelievable flavour! Fig and oats work so well together, and the spices and chocolate puts me in such a festive mood. These cookies are for those me-days when you put on an old black-and-white movie, curl up with a blanket and…

Fig & Pear Christmas Cake
CHRISTMAS IS COMING! I always look forward to the day I bake my Christmas cake because it feels like it’s officially the beginning of Christmas… Perhaps that’s why I bake mine in September. And yes, there will be Christmas music coz it’s never too early for a bit of Bublé or some good ol’ Bing….

It’s a wonderland of good-tidings, comfort…

Frankly, unless you’re willing to scour the city or fork out at Fortnum & Mason’s, then you’re going to be out of luck. But, when the asparagus season…
Fig, Ginger & Chocolate Mincemeat
This Mincemeat recipe is truly luscious, darkly exquisite and maybe a little bit naughty. Sure, you could settle for traditional mincemeat and I agree that Christmas is a time for tradition. But why settle? Because Christmas is also a time for pushing the boat out. And I mean really push the boat out. When you’ve finished with…
