Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Allison's Danish snowball cookies

    • London_Mummy on December 23, 2025

      These biscuits melt in your mouth and the recipe is straightforward.

  • Monica's almond butter and banana muffins

    • London_Mummy on January 25, 2026

      These little muffins have come out fine. With this book, I always wonder if all the fussy little details & ingredients were actually worth it, eg I had to make my own almond butter to add 75 g & I'm still wondering if I could have just added some ground almonds instead.

  • Black currant, lavender, and mascarpone cakes

    • London_Mummy on April 10, 2026

      This book contains delicious cakes but always makes things unnecessarily complicated. Eg I was told to grease then flour the muffin tin. The batter is sticky & also contains lumps of blackcurrant jam. Surprise, surprise, the cakes are stuck now! I wish I had just used commonsense & used my silicone cupcake liners. I was making these cakes for guests so it is a good job I also made some cookies, which look OK.

  • Jess's banoffee birthday cake

    • London_Mummy on October 10, 2025

      This is lovely but massive birthday cake. We had to freeze some of it, cut into slices, each wrapped in parchment & foil. It froze so well that a friend to whom I served a defrosted slice demanded the recipe.

  • Blood orange and polenta loaf

    • London_Mummy on January 14, 2026

      This recipe took an unexpected turn which made it much more interesting. It was on my "I want to cook this" list for a while, since I am using up a large quantity of polenta. Today, I suddenly decided to make it with two pink grapefruits & three limes which I had. It has come out with a unique, marmalady, bittersweet taste which I really enjoyed. I had about twice the volume of juice specified, made it all into syrup & used all the syrup on the cake. I substituted a mix of vegan baking block & Trex for butter, in order to reduce the saturated fat. I'll eat some for breakfast too.
