What is the first food that come to mind when you think of brunch? There are so many delicious options but for me, it’s got to be waffles.

I unsurprisingly own quite a lot of kitchen equipment (and yet still covet more!); a lot of it gets used regularly; some things, such as the ice cream maker and deep fryer, get brought out every now and again; and some things shamefully get used once then shoved in a drawer never to see the light of day again.

Plus it makes an amazing replacement for vanilla ice cream with hot desserts such as apple pie or crumble and is perfect with pancakes or waffles for breakfast, maybe drizzled with a little extra maple caramel……
