Bear Paws (Old Fashioned Soft Molasses Cookies)
Soft spiced molasses cookies; ideal for when you’re going on an adventure! When I was a girl growing up in rural Canada I used to bake an old fashioned soft molasses cookie recipe.

It’s National Cupcake Week! Well, it’s the last day of National Cupcake Week, but better late than never, right?

Apple Cardamom Cake with Quince Frosting
Deliciously autumnal, this cake is moist, aromatic and bursting with flavour. Autumn is definitely in the air. The nights are drawing in earlier and here in Shetland it’s been dark, dreary and raining for days.
No Churn Lemon Cheesecake Ice Cream
I spent a most wonderful child-free weekend in town. I don’t go into town very often, let alone for an overnight trip, but this weekend past I made an exception.
Coconut Chocolates (with secret mashed potato!)

No Bake Summer Fruits Cheesecake
One of the fondest memories I have of my childhood in Cape Breton, on the East coast of Canada, is that of berry picking. In the summertime there were so many varieties of wild berry to choose from. Wild blueberries were my favourite; they were tiny and bursting with flavour. It also took absolutely forever …
Mini Rhubarb Cheesecake Pots
There are some times when cheesecake is required. Do you ever get those late night cravings sitting on the couch with a good book (Kindle) and you just want cheesecake and you want it now? This mini cheesecake pot recipe was borne out of those moments.
Fruity Surprise Ice Lollies
There’s nothing better than an ice cold ice lolly on a hot summer’s day, wouldn’t you agree? But have you had a look at the ingredients lists on commercially prepared lollies? Sugar, refined sugar, and more sugar!
Green Tea & Shetland Seaweed Ice Cream
“With each mouthful there is a definite taste of Shetland sea air, it is like tasting the wonderful cleanliness of the Shetland coastline as it reaches the lungs. Amazing!!” Jane, taste-tester I have to admit it, yes, this is one of my more unusual creations. I feel the need to say I am not in …

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Following on from my confession in the Rhubarb Ripple Ice Cream with Hazelnut Oat Clusters blog post, my love of all things ice cream and cookie continues to be strong. But who says the cookies have to be cooked? Everyone loves cookie dough, no?
Shetland Flag-Topped Lemon & Seaweed Fairy Cakes
The 21st of June is Shetland Flag Day. Designed in 1969 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the transfer of Shetland from Norway to Scotland the Shetland Flag was not officially recognised until 2005 by the heraldic authority in Scotland.
Double Chocolate & Fig Oatmeal Cookies
I have a terrible weakness for cookies… and cakes, and ice cream, and all things sweet… but mostly cookies.
Chocobanutty Ice Cream
Some years I discovered the magic that is banana ‘ice cream’.
Chocolate Biscuit Cake
Be warned. This recipe is far too tasty. It’s so good that I’m not going to check the calorie content because I don’t want to be put off making/eating it!
