bakewell tart pancakes.

If i'm honest I'm usually a classic lemon and sugar kind of girl. However, if push came to shove, it probably wouldn't take much for me to devour a stack of freshly cooked pancakes whatever the sweet flavour combo. With a love of Bakewell tarts, I wanted to experiment with the nutty almond and cherry flavours that usually make up my favourite pud, but in pancake form. And so I present to you a Bakewell tart inspired pancake recipe.

When I want a comforting but light meal packed with my favourite seafood, smoky flavours and wholesome veggies, I turn to my old friend the paella. It's a great one to make for friends and family too, since you can make a big pot of it and be as adventurous as you like with your choice of shellfish, chorizo or just simple tasty vegetables. 

When british cookware brand Tower Housewares kindly offered to send me one of their products for review, I instantly went for a pressure cooker. It's a piece of kitchen kit that you don't see very often these days and is something that Tower pride themselves on producing.
