I love a simple recipe where you can bang a load of ingredients in a bowl, whack it in a tin and bake – then out it comes, looking pretty and even better, tastes amazing! This mixture can be made into muffins, donuts, even a cake – either way the result is a moist sponge […]

Cranberry, Hemp Seed & Carob Flapjack
If you love chocolate, something you may not have heard of or tried before is CAROB.

[…]

Working again with the wonderful Mr Fitzpatrick’s […]
