There’s definitely something comforting about warm apples smothered in buttery, crisp, golden crumbs topped with heaps of hot custard. It takes me back to the days when I lived at home and my mum would make apple crumble- though it has to be said, she wasn’t really the best at making desserts! There were always… Continue reading Caramel Apple Crumble

Hot Salted Caramel Bananas
The most phallic, naughty-but-nice fruit (well actually a berry if we’re being technical here) of them all is commonplace around the world - the banana. Providing around 100 kcal per portion, this starchy crop is a wonderful hungry-tummy filler. It is also equipped with plenty of nutrients such as potassium, a mineral that is essential… Continue reading Hot Salted Caramel Bananas
Salted Caramel Butter Bean Blondies (vegan | gluten-free | grain-free | refined sugar-free)
When it comes to beans and pulses, chickpeas seem to get the most attention. The other beans are just left behind, pondering in limbo, not being given the credit that they quite frankly deserve. For example the butter bean: creamy, sweet, smooth no unpleasant bitterness or earthy flavours, quite simply, a blank canvas to turn… Continue reading Salted Caramel Butter Bean Blondies (vegan | gluten-free | grain-free | refined sugar-free)
Millionaires Shortbread (vegan | gluten-free)
Gone are those days where I would be cautious with my millionaires shortbread consumption. In my entire lifetime, these little beauties have only entered my body maybe two or three times.

Though, I guess what’s unique about Dulce… Continue reading Butternut Squash Dulce De Leche (vegan | gluten-free)

Banoffee pie burritos
If bananas aren’t phallic enough for you, just transform them into a sensuous cream laced with alcohol, stick them into a kissably soft burrito, carefully caress into tight log, cut it and then dip it into a sticky, sweet caramel- it’s beyond phallic, it’s pure sin, which is confusingly heavenly at the same time. Real… Continue reading Banoffee pie burritos
Chocolate polenta cake with oranges and cream caramel (gluten-free + vegan)
I really don’t think polenta gets enough credit. It’s like the Ringo Star of the grains, although maybe that’s a bad example. I can’t actually think of one that’s better than that one right now but if I do ill shoehorn it in. Polenta is basically a humble cornmeal mush that is put together to… Continue reading Chocolate polenta cake with oranges and cream caramel (gluten-free + vegan)
