Ricciarelli Hearts
I made my version of these 4 or 5 years ago doing research for a magazine article. They are delicious and very moreish. Originally a macaroon style biscuit form Siena in Italy and often given as Christmas gifts. As I have a love of most things Italian they are a staple on my baking list! … Continue reading
Melting Chocolate Moments
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

It’s somewhere I had heard about for a while and at last managed to get a couple of nights booked for late September. The village is stunning and rather unique being almost entirely owned by The National … Continue reading

Daim Mousse Shots

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
