Chicken and Broccoli Bake

This is good old home-style cooking at its best: simple, easy and comforting without being horrendously burdened with calories. Traditionally, with a bake like this you would mix a handful of breadcrumbs in with the cheese before sprinkling over the top, but I like it as is. (If you prefer it with breadcrumbs - do add them.)

Lemon Meringue Pavlova

I know it sounds a little strange to call it a lemon 'meringue' pavlova but it's sounds so much better than a 'lemon pavlova' - and it's seriously yummy so I think that's a good enough excuse for sloppy english. It is a very sweet dessert but the tanginess of the lemon curd and strawberries cuts through beautifully. Perfect for spring days in the sun and cheeky children's fingers while you wait to serve it.

Pear and Cinnamon Pie Pops

Sweet little baked treats that take a little bit of effort but look just dandy and taste rather scrumptious :)

Chocolate and Ale Cake

A very naughty and delicious piece of decadence for your friday :)
