Banana Nugget Cookies
Imagine a soft oatmeal, chocolate-chip cookie with added spice and bananas and that pretty much sums up these Banana Nugget Cookies. Not content with limiting myself to my Northern Irish retro recipe books, this is from an American community cookbook…
Date and Orange Bread
Is it a bread? Is it a cake? Either way, this simple Date and Orange Bread is soft, crumbly and sweet. This time it doesn’t come from one of my many retro recipe books, it’s from a small newspaper clipping…
