MY DARLING LEMON THYME

gluten-free spiced orange chocolate chunk cookie recipe

I nearly didn’t post this recipe. At first I felt like I wanted to make it a few more times, change the ratios a little more, cutting out some of the sugar to making them less sweet. When I made them I tasted the mix at every stage, as you do. Creaming the butter and […]

vegan mango jelly with strawberry + mint salad recipe

Sometimes it’s funny how things turn out. Right when we were starting to feel like the world was turning against us (hurt ankle, broken leg, bung computer, notice to vacate our house… you get the picture) a little light in the form of two mango trees appears at the end of the tunnel. It’s such […]

chocolate filled gluten-free cookie recipe

I’ve left enough time between chocolate cookie posts eh? Of course I have! Especially when it’s a recipe for soft gluten-free chocolate cookies sandwiched together with rich chocolate ganache that’s on offer right?
