I have to admit, I’ve had a few baking disasters recently so I was so pleased when this turned out. This tart is absolutely delicious and rather decadent. Yes, there are 3 components; the pastry case, the caramel layer and then the dark chocolate layer but this tart is quite rich and lasts well; in … Continue reading Millionaire’s Pear Tart (GF)
This combination of chocolate, orange and ginger is delicious and reminds me of Christmas. The orange is quite subtle in this; if you don’t like chocolate-orange you can just not include the orange zest but if you love it you can always use more.

I find it's better if cooked the day before you eat it for some reason. I love having a few recipes like this up … Continue reading Gluten-free Banana Cake
