Little Chocolate Mousse Meringue Cups

7th November 2019 By Urvashi Roe

chocolate mousse pastry

I like making little treats. You can have one and feel totally sated rather than denying yourself completely. Good strategy huh? That’s how these little chocolate mousse meringue cups came about.   I was craving something fancy and chocolatey. But I had a full medical assessment recently and was also hearing the words of the […]

Chocolate Scrabble Biscuits

cookie, biscuit, scrabble, urvashi roe

Do you play Scrabble? My husband and I have been playing for over 20 years. Sometimes cards and sometimes Scrabble. The score sheets are so old that we don’t bother anymore. In fact now the challenge is less about points but rather about the best word. Last Christmas I got some lovely Scrabble biscuit cutters. […]

Back to Normality with a Marshmallow Parkin

5th November 2017 By Urvashi Roe

parkin, bonfire, gingerbread

It’s been nearly two months now since our cafe closed. I stopped baking for a while. I stopped blogging  for a while too. Truth be told there was just too much still going on closing up accounts, getting rid of stock and equipment. All that alongside a full time job and overseas travel. Weekends just […]

Cake Pops For Mother’s Day Or Any Other Day!

5th March 2016 By Urvashi Roe

I am so lucky to have two beautiful girls. Currently out “spending their book tokens” AKA shopping in TK Maxx to buy Mummy some odd bowls and plates for food styling. They know me so well. Truth be told, I don’t need cards or any gifts from them. Seeing them change and grow is gift […]

Hazelnut Pie Or Hazelnut Tart?

7th November 2015 By Urvashi Roe

It’s Bonfire Weekend in the UK. It’s a pretty grim one to be honest.  As I’m writing this post I’m snuggled in my fleece pyjamas and woolen socks with the heating on full but still feeling cold looking out at the rain. No matter. It is Bonfire Weekend and we shall celebrate in wellies and waterproofs […]

Blackberry Crumble Tart

1st November 2015 By Urvashi Roe

I just popped one of these in the oven and so I thought I’d write the recipe up while I still have the luscious smells wafting up from the kitchen and before I need to run downstairs and make custard for the girls. The blackberries are just about from the allotment.  My new allotment neighbour […]

Chocolate Madelines

7th December 2013 By Urvashi Roe

I used to be put off by making madelines because many recipes call for leaving the batter to rest and I never usually have the time or I am never organised enough.  This recipe is quick to rustle up and makes a nice gift too.  I’ve paired these mini versions with Caramel Dipping Sauce. You […]
