Pomegranate Molasses, Pistachio and Orange Loaf Cake

If you're lover of all things Middle Eastern cuisine, or equally, you're obsessed (like I am) with Yotam Ottolenghi's cookbook collection then you'll probably already be familiar with the intense sour and syrupy sweetness of pomegranate molasses. 

Orange and Thyme Sugar Biscuits

I think a large part of being a food blogger means you have to find a love for collecting a range of quirky and increasingly different kitchen wares, particularly plates, cutlery and tins (and have the budget to be able to do so, as a student - that can be a challenge for me, although I have become quite good at spotting charity shop jewels.) For those in the know, food stylists like to refer to it all as food props. I'm starting to generate a rather nice assortment which I try to fit all together like a mad jigsaw puzzle just so that it can all handily fit in my large wicker basket. This basket of props lives under my bed at my uni flat, not the average collection of items you'd expect to find under a student bed, you might say?! 

Blood Orange Breakfast Kheer (Vegan and gluten free)

I just love this time of year when blood oranges are in season, the fact that you can’t buy them all year round makes them seem so much more of a treat and most certainly when a few juicy segments top this indulgent kheer. Though, if you can’t source them, then regular oranges would be fine too or grapefruit for a sharp twist. 

Chocolate, Clementine and Ginger Buns

It's nearly Christmas break. Woooooo! That means having absolutely no uni work to do (I hope), plenty of lie ins which lead into days spent doing nothing constructive whatsoever. apart from stuffing your face with chocolate and watching endless Christmas movies. Don't you just love this time of year?! 

Instarecipe! Chocolate Orange Hot Cross Bun and Butter Pudding

Happy Easter, hope you all had a lovely weekend. It's the time to be eating chocolate - YASSSS - and what better way to use up those leftover hot cross buns along with the broken or little bits of chocolate hanging around (which I didn't seem to have, let's face it...no one can really have leftover chocolate) but if you're sick of eating it (literally) in egg form, then sprinkle some into this warm, gooey and comforting traditional pudding.
