Cinnamon Palmiers
I will disclose from the outset that these are highly addictive and wonderfully easy which is a dangerous combination. Please don’t blame me if these end up becoming a weakness for you!! I have fortunately had palmiers on many occasions as I am a lover of all things buttery and crisp, but for some reason I have never made them myself. For a treat that only has a few ingredients, it would be easy to think that one palmier would taste just like another, but homemade and fresh


Double Biscotti
I have wanted to have a go at making biscotti for a while now, I always wondered how it was that they were baked twice; the actual meaning of the word biscotti.

In-betweens and Apple Turnovers
So here we are, coming to the end of the summer holidays and today we turn into September. I was reading my blog from this time last year and it made me smile as I talked about trying to enjoy the ‘in-betweeness’ of the seasons, with summer starting to fade and autumn coming up on the horizon.
