Blueberry Jalapeño Jam
Like most people I am a huge fan of charcuterie boards and in my opinion an integral component of a good one is a jam or jelly. It is used to complement the cheeses on offering and enhance the whole experience. This blueberry jalapeño jam was created with that concept in mind. This jam is […]

Orange Almond Flour Cookies
In my opinion there is no simpler pleasure then dunking a sweet, crisp cookie into a hot cup of tea. This affinity for cookies and tea was acquired during my time living in England and something that has stuck with me ever since. I’m always looking for new cookies to add to my repertoire and […]
