Chocolate Orange Slice
Chocolate Orange Slice. Another one of those classic combinations. Often found together in cakes and biscuits (I’m not going to start a debate on whether a Jaffa Cake is a cake or a biscuit, so let’s just leave it there…)…
No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake Bars
No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake Bars. This is a proper, old-school, retro recipe. It’s made with cream cheese, evaporated milk and lemon jelly (or jello, for my US readers). With some fresh lemon zest and juice for an additional citrus zing. But,…

Snowballs
We had our first flurries of snow in the week before Thanksgiving this year. When I’m clearing several inches (hopefully not feet!) of snow off our driveway later in the winter, I shall try to remember the look of sheer…
