Mousse au chocolat

Chocolate mousse (in English)

This classic French recipe comes from my grandmother’s cookbook, which she started at school in 1937 and kept throughout her life in the kitchen drawer. The writing is very beautiful, and the spelling mistakes make it very cute. Such an emotional reminder of my Mamie. If you enjoy this recipe, please consider a donation to TWB. Notice:…

Tarte Tatin Deluxe

Tarte Tatin Deluxe

This is my version of Tarte Tatin which uses muscovado sugar instead of caster sugar. It has received rave reviews every time I have served it and is often mentioned months later! I use shop-bought puff pastry as life’s too short, but use the all-butter variety if it’s available. If you enjoy this recipe, please consider a donation…

Pumpkin pie

Pumpkin Pie

When I was in university, I worked as a waitress at a low-end (but good!) breakfast/brunch restaurant in Atlanta. It wasn’t in the best part of town. One evening – evenings are slow at breakfast restaurants – I told the cook that I had to make a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. Willie, the cook, wrote down this…

Lemon cheese as part of a lemon roulade

Lemon Roulade

Here is one of my favourite recipes for using it up lemon cheese. It has become a family tradition for me to make this at Christmas (lovely with fresh stollen!), but I make it whenever I have a glut of lemons too. It keeps for ages in the fridge and, as well as being scrumptious on…

Christmas biscuits

Christmas Biscuits (Spritzgebäck)

Two aunts on my father’s side of the family were particularly good bakers. This recipe is taken from a cookbook in my aunt Maria’s handwriting in Sütterlin script. At the time this was written, there was probably no fridge in the household to rest the dough. The original recipe does not provide the entire method of making the biscuits,…

Madeleines

Madeleines (in French)

I lost my Mum when I was a wee child (4 years old my father tells me), She left me a recipe book in which I found a recipe for Madeleines when I started being interested in baking cakes in my teens. I really love that recipe, and it is sooo much more than Proustian, it is something…

It’s fast, it’s super-easy and really really delicious. Enjoy it for breakfast with avocado or your favourite marmalade, as a healthy snack with…

Ginger and Cinnamon Granola

I make this granola every week, sometimes even twice a week. Everyone loves it because of the ginger and cinnamon that give it a special touch. My favourite healthy breakfast is mixing it with fresh fruit and yogurt. Once you try this you won’t want to go back to your store-bought granola. If you enjoy…
