In this episode I'm deep diving in to the world of King Cakes, philosophising about the downsides of food purism and talking about two King Cakes I made. One is an orange blossom water brioche King Cake with mascarpone cream and caramelised pecans. The other is a slightly lighter enriched dough but it's stuffed to the max with spiced caramel and walnuts! DAYUM! Website with written recipes: flourb...

In this recipe I'm talking about the recipe I can't get away from. I crumbled under the pressure of seeing so many other bakers trying King Arthur Flour's 2023 Recipe of the Year, the cinnamon crisp coffee cake, and the first few iterations that they've published. I liked it, but still tweaked it, which is the joy of home baking - making exactly what you want in the way you want it! And experiment...

This episode, I'm on a mission to show that rosemary in sweet treats is a winner. Just be careful how much you use! It's particularly good paired with citrus or chocolate (or both). I'm talking about rosemary sticky baby buns, rosemary oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, apple and rosemary crepes and chocolate rosemary loaf cake with a rosemary infused chocolate ganache! Wonderful stuff!!! As always p...

Today I'm sharing no less than FIVE sweet muffin recipes that I strongly believe in, from one with 627 five star reviews to those I've dreamed up and adapted myself.  My findings? Crumble toppings and using sour cream in the batter both work SO well. The recipes featured are a fluffy, loaded blueberry muffin, a chocolate salted caramel muffin, a spiced carrot pecan muffin, a lemon hazelnut crumble...
