Snowy Lime Cookies -- Mouthwateringly delicious and pretty too
It has been snowing a lot in many parts of the globe, but here in London we are longing for a winter wonderland moment to happen. Ok, we may be the only ones waiting, and we know the snow had been relentless in much of the US this winter, but that should not stop anyone ...

Barberry Bundt Cake
  I found this recipe for a Barberry Cake in our local organic supermarket’s monthly magazine and it turned out great but not only that – I later learned that the main ingredient, dried barberries, are also extremely healthy! They contain berbeerine, which has been used for its medicinal properties for a long time. The ...

Some yummy seasonal cookies
We love baking during the Christmas season and these two cookie recipes we make every year. Speculaas (just like pepernoten) are very specific to December as we relate them to Sinterklaas, but where pepernoten really only hit the scene when the Saint is in town, we like to enjoy speculaas the rest of the year as ...

The perfect Masala Chai
When we were in Chile last December, our surf instructor, Ismael Herreros, got us all hooked on chai tea. He prepared a thermos of chai each morning and brought it along for our afternoon surf classes. When we would emerge from the frigid cold waters after our surf lesson, Ismael would unscrew the lid of ...

Gingerbread Wonderland by Mima Sinclair
We've had such a cosy winter holiday spending our days with the fire lit, reading books and baking in the kitchen. We've made our favourite chocolate brownies, delicious soups and even roasted chestnuts on the fire - delicious! We also made gingerbread (for the first time ever). Helena was gifted Gingerbread Wonderland for her birthday and we really enjoyed ...

A giant cookie!

Making pomanders
As a child, my mum and I made pomanders out of oranges and cloves every year for Christmas. I love that smell, so spicy and Christmassy, so last weekend I put my kids to work. It kept them focussed and busy for quite some time! It's such an easy and lovely project, great for all ...

Lemon Curd
Back in the Summer (doesn't it feel an age ago?) we had a BBQ party and I used lemons in vases as decorations.  The day after, as my head pounded, I looked at the 40 lemons and remembered a friend of mine mentioning she had a good recipe for lemon-curd.  I do love a preserve ...

Sugar Cookies
It's funny how I can really hate the cold, dark winters in London but not be so bothered by them when I am home for the holidays, all cozied up next to a fire! I love sitting around in my pajamas, listening to Christmas music and watching the rain splash against the windows (I'm in rainy ...
