This very easy recipe, for Chocolate Oat Bars, or square, takes very little time to make, but it does have to be left to set for 3 or 4 hours before cutting. There is no baking involved, just a little work on the stove top, so in just a few minutes they are ready to […]
I have been wanting to make some breakfast bars for a while. So I watched a few videos and read several recipes until I decided what I wanted to do. This recipe is based on one that I saw here. I have amended the recipe slightly, including some ground flax seed for omega 3 and […]
I came across something called Aussie Bites, which are sold in the USA. They are promoted as being a taste of ‘down under’ though I couldn’t find any confirmation that they are eaten in Australia. However I did like the look of them, as they have lots of very good ingredients, as well as not […]
I have made Yorkshire Parkin before, and it is on my blog. But on that occasion I was not doing videos. Recently I had a request, on Youtube, to make Yorkshire Parkin so I thought I would make it again. Parkin is a big tradition in Northern England, particularly Yorkshire, and is usually eaten in […]

I checked out a number of recipes for Honey Oat Bread and I did try one that didn’t need much time to prove the dough, as it used easy bake/instant yeast. That loaf was very tasty indeed, but it didn’t rise as much as I would have liked. So I decided I needed to have […]
I had an idea for some flapjacks, a lovely oat, butter and golden syrup cake. I had some dried blueberries and cranberries which I felt sure would taste so good in a flapjack. Then I thought about covering them with white chocolate. In the end I decided that might be too much white chocolate so […]
Parkin is a traditional cake in the north of England particularly Yorkshire and Lancashire around about Bonfire Night(Guy Fawkes Night – 5th November) There are differences between the various versions, but the Yorkshire version, at least, has oats in the cake which appealed to me when I was considering which to make, so Yorkshire Parkin […]
