I decided to create a new cookie recipe for a recent food photography lighting demo. It needed to be rustic and preferably more than one colour. This was the delicious result! The white chocolate is optional, but looks good and adds to the chocolate hit. Download Rustic Cocoa Cookies              … Continue reading »

Toblerone Mousse Pots

This recipe came about as we have a huge Toblerone, I mean really HUGE! But as this is during COVID-19 lockdown, limited other food resources. The buttery biscuit base is optional, we had biscuits so felt the need to use them. Other biscuits would be great too, shortbread, amaretti, Hobnobs etc. The pots I used here … Continue reading »

Homemade Daim Ice Cream

I love a Daim bar, I don’t eat chocolate that often but when I do it has to be a favourite. I decided to make some ice cream with a couple of the bars from a 3 pack I’d recently bought. It’s deliciously sweet, creamy and with bits of Daim, what’s not to love? The … Continue reading »

These are like Viennese fingers or whirls but all chocolate! Very crumbly melt in the mouth biscuits sandwiched together with dark chocolate ganache. I use fairly reasonably priced chocolate from the supermarket for most of my baking, saving the good stuff for eating straight 🙂     Melting Chocolate Moments Cookies 175g soft butter 55g … Continue reading »

Food Photography Lighting Ideas

  Although I love using natural light for a lot of my food photography, sometimes it’s just not an option. The UK has many days when the sun does not appear and when it does it’s not for long enough! So I have a few lights at hand to make sure I’m not limited. The … Continue reading »

Daim Mousse Shots

I had an idea this would be rather fabulous if it worked……and it did! I wasn’t convinced the Daim (well they used to be Dime in the UK back in the day, apparently that changed in 2005!) would melt, of course the chocolate bit would but would the crunchy toffee bit? Well the answer is … Continue reading »

Chocolate Sandwich Biscuits with Vanilla Mallow Filling

Perfect with a cuppa and friends or an afternoon treat to keep you focused, these are lovely! The mallow filling is so lush and squidgy (you will get messy), also amazing on and in big cakes and sublime on cupcakes. Best eaten within a couple of days, they probably won’t last long anyway, unless you … Continue reading »

Malteser Truffles

I decided to make something sweet for Father’s Day and these popped in my mind as worth experimenting with. It took 3 goes to get the consistency right, the first 2 being too soft, they make a fantastic sauce for ice cream when warmed through, so no waste there then! The milk chocolate I used … Continue reading »
