Easy lemon ice cream

No-churn lemon ice cream – the perfect dinner party saviour! This recipe defies most of the laws of ice cream making and it does not need churning, turning, or a fancy ice cream maker. It’s basically the easiest recipe in the world and yet equally one of the most delicious. It’s outrageously creamy. And seriously zingy. I’ve pinched it off...

Lemon and lime drizzle cake

I love lemon drizzle cake, but sometimes I like to jazz it up a bit. Lemon and lime is a classic combination – this one is very moist and pleasantly zingy! Best of all it takes only a few mins to throw together and bung in the oven, and doesn’t require any rich, faffy frosting. For an 8″ round cake...

Lemon meringue cake

I have to confess, I’m pretty darn chuffed with this recipe. I made it for my boyfriend’s mum’s birthday this year (having made a French flag cake last year) so I wanted it to be quite big and fancy. I was inspired after seeing a recipe for lemon meringue cupcakes in the Hummingbird Bakery’s book, Cake Days (definitely the best...

It’s very clever and the cake I created was very pretty. I made it...

Blueberry and lemon muffins

NB – the batter for this one is best made the night before! This recipe is one I adapted from a BBC Good Food recipe by Paul Hollywood for blueberry muffins. It’s not like any muffin recipe I’ve ever used before, because the batter is refrigerated overnight. When you take it out of the fridge the next day, it’s really...

Lemon and Tarragon Salmon with Crushed New Potatoes and Summer Veggies

This is one of my favourite salmon recipes because it’s fresh and zingy and REALLY easy. Until recently, I was a bit of a novice when it came to salmon, but I’ve recently been getting a bit more experimental. Lemon and tarragon go really well together and the whole lot together makes for a delicious, nutritious meal. For two people,...
