This may well be the best-tasting bread we’ve ever had. Just make sure you use plenty of oil. And the best salt you can find. Lots of it.

This bread looks, on the face of it, fiendishly difficult to master – but it isn’t!

A great one for the kids, rich smooth and creamy, will set any kid up for a good day at school!

Our nod to the traditional dessert of Cranachan, this a super fruity smoothie that will set you up for the day!

We love this recipe – the fresh basil adds a fabulous freshness to this classic combination.

A delicious, easy-peasy breakfast based on the traditional Scottish dessert Cranachan. Traditionally, Cranachan includes whisky but we’ve omitted this as it is a breakfast recipe…. but feel free to include if it takes your fancy! Recipe by fresheather.

Lip-smackingly zingy this makes a great start to any day; or the perfect drink to sip in the sunshine.

It doesn’t have to be Halloween for pumpkin recipes, you can always substitute for more Butternut Squash if you’re struggling to find one.

Gillian spent 4 years in Dublin and became addicted to soda bread (or ‘brown bread’ as it is referred to there). It’s a versatile accompaniment to all meals. It’s also enjoyed in Ireland for elevenses (best meal of the day!) slathered in butter and jam.

A great smoothie for the kids; packed with fresh fruit and our delicious yogurt, it’s healthy but they’d never know!

If you don’t want to lose the colours and texture from fruit by blending it into a smoothie, you can always enjoy it as a refreshing fruit salad.

By using oil instead of butter the cakes stays moist, and has a lovely creaminess from the yogurt.
