Tiramisu & Walnut Cake

I present you my tiramisu walnut cake: what’s better than an Italian-British combo (like me :D)? This cake is a celebration of two amazing staple desserts – the Italian tiramisu and the British coffee and walnut cake. This balanced mix of flavours makes for a very delicate but distinctive cake you will want to eat again and again.

Green Beans Potato Gratin Traybake

Polpettone genovese is a traybake with mashed potatoes and green summer veggies: lots of basil and lots of French beans. It’s a delicious vegetarian meal. Easy to make ahead if you have guests at dinner, delicious the day after warmed up at the office.

Coconut Chocolate Cake

This is the birthday cake my mum always used to bake for me: moist, chocolaty perfection. Patiently melt dark chocolate, fold in desiccated coconut, pour the batter into your cake tin, watch it rise in the oven, and cut a slice of flaky fluffy cake. Pure bliss and childhood memories.
