It’s the first week of Wimbledon and strawberries and cream are very much of the moment. This easy no-bake cheesecake lifts these classic flavours to a new level.

Rockerfeller Christmas Cake Showstopper
If you have made your Christmas cake and would like to make a grown up showstopper to top it off, my blog on how to recreate this Rockerfeller Centre inspired design could be just what you are looking for.
Pear, Fig and Almond Cake
This cake is unashamedly simple and seasonal. It is just about the sweet butter, the soft gentle flavour of the pears and the delicate aroma of the figs and almonds. Pure autumnal indulgence.
Bramble Jam
I love the annual ritual of walking over the fields to gather blackberries in the late summer and early autumn as the seasons turn.
This recipe makes a very sweet, thick, fruit packed jam which is a properly indulgent treat.
Glazed Sweet Cherry Galette
This sumptuous, sticky galette is a wonderful way to savour the last of the dark, sweet summer cherries before the seasons change.
Chilled Cardamom Rice Pudding with Honey Apricots
A cooling and indulgent summer pudding which is light enough for warmer weather but still feels like a treat.
Raspberry and Chocolate Madeleines
As much as I love madeleines warm almost straight from the oven (and oh how I love them), sometimes I like to make my madeleines just that bit more fancy.
Delicious as a tea time treat and special enough for guests with some vanilla ice cream as a dinner party dessert.
Lemon Curd and Berry Eton Mess
Try this tangyy twist on a traditional Eton Mess. Sweet meringue and vanilla cream is mixed with lemon curd, juicy berries and mint for a fresh take on a British classic.
Zingy Lemon Curd
I like my lemon curd rich and sweet with a bit of lemony zing.
It’s quicker to make than jam and can be used in puddings or just slathered on hot buttered toast for a sweet breakfast treat.
Spiced Apple and Raisin Muffins
These muffins are perfect for a lazy Sunday morning. They are ready in 20 minutes, packed full of juicy sweet apples and lovely still warm from the oven.
Sozzled Oranges with Vanilla Biscuits
Chilled sweet oranges marinated in ginger syrup and Cointreau are a decadent but light dessert treat. Served with Vanilla Butter Biscuits for that extra bit of Easter richness.
Homemade Ginger Syrup
A delicously sweet syrup with a hint of heat which is lovely used in desserts and cocktails.
Pistachio, Orange and Cardamom Flapjacks
Beautifully sweet with orange and dates, these fragrant cardamom infused flapjacks are a real treat.
Poached Rhubarb and Cardamom Creme Anglaise
This eye catching chilled pudding is a light and sophisticated take on the well-loved flavours of rhubarb and custard. Perfect for a weekend treat night.
Zesty Lemon and Banana Bread
Try this light, moist banana bread for a sweet treat with a zesty twist. Served with Greek yoghurt and pistachios, it’s a deliciously different way to try a brunch time favourite.
Izzy's Orange and Cinnamon Buttery Biscuits
These biscuits were originally inspired by a walk on a cold day in the autumn sunshine.
Now in January, the darkest, deepest part of the winter, I’ve reached for the recipe again. Very easy to make, they are a delicious, sweet treat which never fails to lift our spirits.
