Cardamom sugar

Cardamom sugar

I used to add a couple grinds of cardamom and a squeeze of honey to my hot cocoa, or my oatmeal (porridge) or cream of wheat, then my cardamom grinder broke (yes, I hear myself), and I think the other grinder (really, I do hear myself) is at the office, and it’s lockdown, and I don’t want to buy another “thing” right now, so I gave this a go.

Burns Night Banana Bread

Burns Night Banana Bread

A crunchy topped banana bread with chocolate and whisky added for good measure.

Roasted Tomatoes With Shrimp and Feta

Roasted Tomatoes With Shrimp and Feta

Roasted tomatoes with shrimp and feta – the ratio of effort to tastiness makes no sense, food this good shouldn’t be this easy to make.

Rote Grütze (Summer Fruit pudding)

Rote Grütze (Summer Fruit pudding)

Traditional German berry pudding, a great summer dessert that can easily be spiced up for winter too.

Hot Cocoa Mix

Hot Cocoa Mix

Lower sugar hot cocoa mix means you can sweeten and flavor your cheeky hot chocolate any way you want without sending the sugar level of your drink absolutely through the roof. Nice as-is too.
