Almond Maple Shortbread (3 ingredients)
This Almond Maple Shortbread is a gluten and dairy-free treat to enjoy alongside a cuppa! The dough is a little sticky to work with which is why I roll it between two pieces of parchment paper. I like to cut the shortbread into simple little bite sized squares as its quickest and easiest, but if…
Turkish Eggs
This is a pretty special, indulgent breakfast that will revolutionise how you think about ingredient pairing! Turkish eggs, traditionally called çilbir, pronounced “chulburr” are poached eggs on a bed of garlic yoghurt with spice-infused butter poured over.

Lemon Coconut Sorbet
This Lemon Coconut Sorbet is based on the viral Tik Tok Lemon sorbet, but I think this will taste a lot better. The Tik Tok version used whole lemons (skin, pith, seeds and all) and whilst this will save you a few minutes prep time, if you use lemons with thick pith and seeds, it…
