A Whimsical Journey: Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea at the Sanderson Hotel
Down the Rabbit Hole: Introducing an Alice-Inspired Tea Party Imagine stepping into a world where teacups talk, rabbits wear waistcoats, and your afternoon tea is served with a generous helping of magic. This is exactly what I encountered at the Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea, where Lewis Carroll’s beloved tale comes to life in the most delicious way possible! For a friend’s birthday treat, we decided to do something special and booked ourselves into the Sanderson Hotel for their whimsical Alice in Wonderland-themed afternoon tea. The Setting: A Mad Tea Party As we entered the outdoor courtyard, we found ourselves transported to the whimsical world of Wonderland. Well kind of transported-…

Foodie Adventures in the Scottish Highlands
I hope your 2022 is off to a good start so far? As well as wanting to be a food blogger, I’ve always fancied being a travel blogger. What could be better than travelling the world, writing about my experiences of eating great food and seeing interesting sights? Travel blogging is not quite an area I’ve cracked yet, but I still enjoy talking about the food I’ve eaten in the places I’ve visited. My trip to the Scottish Highlands last Autumn is perfect for that. Most of my food choices were centered around Inverness as it is the capital of the Highlands. Inverness is full of visitors who want to…

Eating My Way Through London: Iznik
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great Christmas with plenty of opportunities for festive eating and drinking! I’ve been a bit out of it due to being afflicted by Covid. However, I’ve decided to get back to blogging by writing about my trip to the Turkish restaurant Iznik a few months back. Iznik is described as being easily accessible from Highbury and Islington station but it’s actually more of a distance than that. This said, it’s worth the trip. It’s gorgeously decorated and makes you feel as if you’re in an Ottoman palace. The environment is warm and cosy, a welcoming smile of a restaurant, perfect for…

Chocolate and Greek Yoghurt Cake
This chocolatey treat is really moist and satisfying. It’s healthier as well- so ticks all the boxes. The ingredients for this cake were originally supplied by Bakedin, but this recipe works equally as well. Once baked, you can decorate in any you like- it was Easter, so I decorated with chocolate swirls and mini Easter eggs.

Carrot Cake at Signorelli Bakery
Darlings, if you want deliciously moist cake, then Signorelli bakery is the place to get it. There is so much choice when you step inside. And their coffees and sandwiches aren’t bad either. This carrot cake was sublime.

Delicious Cinnamon Buns
Even though I’ve been into baking for a few years now, I’ve never tried baking cinnamon buns before. Which is a surprise because I love them! Receiving the Cinnamon Buns kit from Bakedin gave me the opportunity to try my hand at making some. My favourite part was when the house filled with the aroma of the cinnamon buns baking- bliss! P.S. Everyone who sampled one of these buns enjoyed them. Ingredients • 1 medium egg • 115g unsalted butter (50g + 50g + 15g) • 180ml milk (165ml + 1 tbsp) • 1 tsp salt • 250g/9oz plain or wholemeal plain flour, plus extra for dusting • 1½ tsp fast-action yeast •…

Pancakes with Chocolate and Strawberries
A bit late to the party, but can finally get around to sharing a picture of these delightful pancakes that my boyfriend arranged to be sent to me for Pancake Day. Despite lockdown, I loved the fact that we can still do nice things for each other (I sent pancakes to him in return). What toppings do you like on your pancakes?

Sweet Treats And Sunny Days
It’s lockdown in November and I think we’re all in need of a little bit of comfort. Throwback to sunny days when we could visit coffee shops and eat cake- this picture of a raspberry and cream cake I tried in September has definitely brightened up my day. The Loft, Shefford, Bedfordshire
