What a beautiful cake, this is one I’ll do much more. The honey is quite subtle so I might add a bit more but this is a truly lovely cake recipe – and incredibly simple to make! The cake also lasts a good week so there is also a slice to have with a cuppa until you make the next one.

I’ve wanted to start baking a bit more, particularly as I am currently not drinking for January and need something by way of a treat! I thought this cake looked a really good place to start. It was really ver6 nice, simple to make. Next time I’d use a narrower tin for a little more height but the flavour and texture was delicious.

Really simple recipe to make a lovely loaf of bread all in your stand mixer. I probably could have done with an longer prove to make it lighter and a bit more salt would have added more flavour, but I’ll be making this again!

This cake is superb. It’s like a great lemon drizzle that has been taken to another level. The blueberries inside burst and marble the cake which is delicious – sharp and zingy from lemon and moorish from almonds. The cooking process means you get a lovely crisp top and soft sponge interior. It’s fantastic.
Clearly, as you can see from the picture, I was too eager with the icing and most of min ran away.
The book, Ottolenghi Simple, is worth buying just for this cake alone.
I loved this, but I did leave it in longer than the recipe said.
If you see the comments, you’ll see many people feel the timings are wrong.
I think this is a delicious recipe, which I’ve made again adding pistachios, but I would say you might want to allow longer to cook than it says.

Jamie’s ‘quiche leekraine’ is a great recipe for a lunch or dinner, which can then be taken to work for lunches the next day – brilliant!
It’s really simple, tastes good, and can even be frozen (well I did).
I suspect quiche purists may suggest it isn’t the traditionally correct recipe, but if you’re after a relatively healthy quiche will all the elements, this is a great place to start!
This is the first cake I ever baked. I was petrified at the prospect of trying to bake a cake, and while my first attempt isn’t going to win any patisserie awards, it wasn’t too bad at all! If you can follow the below, you can call yourself a baker (in my eyes!)

This cake will cost you next to nothing! If you’re buying all the ingredients from scratch you’ll perhaps spend £8.
