Lately I have been feeling like time has been rushing past me at an unbelievable rate, I’ve been struggling to find enough time to get everything done and I have to admit that I have let things like cleaning the house slide a little as I struggle to fit everything in… I’m not even particularly busy, there are just so many little tasks that all add up into an overwhelming mass and I have been tired and inefficient. I always make sure I find some time to fit in a bit of baking though!…

Coconut & Cardamom Rice Pudding With Blackberry Compote
I’ve been on a bit of a compulsive blackberry picking drive recently; I can’t seem to take the dog for a walk without coming home with a bagful of blackberries, it just seems a shame to walk past the heavily laden brambles without at least nabbing a few… I have made jam (recipe coming soon!) and I’ve been eating an awful lot of blackberry compote, which is delicious with yoghurt or porridge, but I think I enjoyed it most when I paired it with this creamy, comforting coconut and cardamom rice pudding….
Mini Peach Cobbler For Two (Or One!)
Yes I know I’m a bit late to the party posting a peach recipe when we are now coming into Autumn….but I had a couple that needed to be used up, and a cobbler is a great way to use up any end of season peaches which may be a little less than perfect; you can even use tinned peaches if you want for a truly out of season peach cobbler….

For the March Daring bakers’ challenge, Korena from Korena in the Kitchen taught us that some treats are best enjoyed upside down. She challenged us to make a tarte tatin from scratch.

Nutmeg Ice Cream
It’s never the wrong time of year for ice cream. I enjoy making it all year round but I vary the flavours depending on the season, spring and summer are all about fresh fruits and refreshing flavours whereas in autumn and winter I mostly make ice creams spiked with spices and booze. This nutmeg ice cream is perfect for autumn and winter; nutmeg to me is the quintessential flavour of the season and this delicious ice cream makes a great replacement for vanilla to serve with fruit pies, crumbles, tarts and cobblers….
