Classic Victoria Sponge with Jam and Buttercream

Classic Victoria Sponge with jam and buttercream // VSPP

When I first found out I was going to be placed on furlough, I didn’t know how much I would crave normality, or at least the new normality we’ve found ourselves in during the coronavirus pandemic. I missed the routine of sliding out of bed to make a cup of tea, pulling on comfortable leggings…

As someone who bakes for a (partial) living, it may surprise you that over the past few months, I’ve been baking less and less for fun. A couple of years ago I would often have a weekend baking project or two on the go, but with a busy work schedule, nights out and impromptu after…

Kiwi and Pear Breakfast Smoothie

Blueberry and Lemon Crumble Muffins

What’s your idea of the perfect breakfast? Is it a roll and sausage slathered with tomato sauce and a strong cup of coffee? Is it a dainty pain au chocolat and a teacup the size of a thimble filled with Earl Grey, pinkie out? Or do you like a packet of Monster Munch, a Snickers…
