It’s been such a long winter but the first tender young stems of rhubarb are finally springing up in the kitchen garden. There aren’t enough yet to go to town with but I really wanted to taste some, so I mixed a few stalks with a handful of last year’s frozen raspberries to make this sumptuous brownie. I love the contrast between the rich, sweet chocolate and the sharp fruit. Continue reading
I love a well-made hot cross bun but I haven’t had much time this week, so if you find yourself in a similar position, you might like this fruity, spiced soda bread. It’ll feed a lot more people than a bag of HCBs from the shop. Continue reading
I have a weakness for auctions, antiques fairs and junk shops. I love prowling round looking for bits and pieces to add to my already overloaded shelves. There’s scarcely a cupboard in the house that doesn’t contain assorted plates, bowls and what dealers these days call kitchenalia. Hideous word. Continue reading
This is about as authentic as a fake fur sporran but it tastes good and if you have some cranberries left over from Christmas it’s an excellent way to use them up, perhaps as a New Year’s Eve pud. Continue reading

Does the world need another cheesecake recipe? Probably not, but I’m sharing this because it’s easy, it works, and it tastes good. Lemon desserts are always my preferred choice, they’re a refreshing end to a meal even when (*cough*) they are quite rich. Continue reading
These fruity, feather-light scones are the work of minutes and it’s lucky that they’re best eaten on the day they’re made, as they never last any longer in our house. Split them and butter them while still warm, put the kettle on and enjoy a break. Continue reading
I love quince, it’s one of my favourite fruits and I’m always a bit bemused when people say they don’t know what to do with them, because they’re so versatile. I suppose it’s a lack of familiarity: because their shelf life is short, supermarkets tend not to stock them. Continue reading
Strictly speaking parkin, a North Country ginger cake, contains oatmeal and this doesn’t, but I couldn’t resist the alliteration. It departs from tradition too in being topped, or rather bottomed, with pears (it’s a sort of upside down cake). Continue reading
When I worked 12 hour overnight shifts, among my most popular colleagues were those who, apparently casually, knocked up a tub full of cakes to be shared round when everyone was at a low ebb in the early hours. Continue reading
