Week 2 of trying to learn how to swim properly/further than 2 metres 🏊🏻♀️ I’m 40 this year and there are a few things I’d love to be better at by the time the big day comes around so I’ve started swimming lessons at my local leisure centre and I’m absolutely bloody loving it!! I’ve never really liked swimming because I’m not a strong swimmer, I’ve always lacked confidence in the pool so I’ve just never enjoyed it. But after 2 weeks of regular swimming and a few lessons, I’m feeling more confident and actually loving the experience! My goal is to be able to swim the 150m at the @superhero_series triathlon in August! Anyone else trying something new this year? I’d highly recommend it!#newyearsameme

Sticky Toffee Pudding alert!!! 🚨 Welcome to episode 2 of my seasonal recipes series and today we are doing pears 🍐 So juicy, so delicious and they pear (see what I did there!) brilliantly with the flavours in this Hassleback Pear Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. You will be fighting off your friends and family wanting a slice, just check out the end of the video 🤣 #seasontotaste
Hassleback Pear Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake
Ingredients
Sponge
250g self raising flour
200g soft brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
250ml milk
120g unsalted butter, melted
3 medium eggs
150g fresh dates, stoned & chopped
1 tsp mixed spice
3 pears
Sauce
50g unsalted butter
200g soft brown sugar
250ml single cream
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tbsp treacle
Method
Oven on to 180C fan/200C. Grease and line an 8 inch cake tin. In a saucepan, cover the chopped dates with 100ml water & heat gently for 5 minutes until broken down.
Prepare the pears. Top, tail and peel the pears and slice in half lengthways. Place a half of pear in between the handles of 2 wooden spoons and thinly slice widthways all along the fruit stopping at the handles so you don’t cut all the way through. Repeat with the other halves.
Make the sponge. Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder & salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter & eggs. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mix until combined. Add the dates and mix again.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, place the hassleback pears in a circle around the batter and press them down so that half of each pear is submerged. Bake for 45-50 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
Make the sauce. Add all the ingredients into a saucepan & heat gently until combined. Leave on the heat for 5-10 minutes until thickened.
Once the sponge is cooked, cut into slices and pour over the sauce.

Today’s episode from my seasonal recipes series features the often overlooked, never the belle of the ball…the humble celeriac ❤️ This Spiced Celeriac on a Yogurt Flatbread is so yummy and delights the tastebuds with hints of mixed spice combined with the nuttiness of the celeriac. Trust me, it’s delicious!!! #seasontotaste
Spiced Crispy Celeriac on Yogurt Flatbread
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 celeriac
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cornflour
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp cumin
Flatbread
200g self raising flour
200g greek yogurt
Yogurt Dressing
2 tbsp greek yogurt
1 tbsp honey/agave syrup
½ tsp mixed spice
½ tsp cumin
To serve (optional)
Salad leaves
Mixed seeds
Balsamic glaze
Method
Peel and chop the celeriac into 3cm chunks. Place in a pan of boiling water and a pinch of salt and cook for 6-7 minutes then drain.
While the celeriac is boiling, make the dough. Mix the flour and yogurt together with a generous seasoning of salt and pepper to form a soft dough. Knead for a minute then form into a ball and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
Make the dressing by mixing the ingredients together in a bowl until combined.
Make the bread by slicing the dough in half and roll each half out on a floured surface into a circle roughly ¼ inch thick. Heat a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil, once hot add the dough and cook for 3 minutes then flip and cook the other side for a further 3 minutes. Cook until each side is golden brown and the bread is cooked through. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
Place the drained celeriac in a bowl and drizzle over the olive oil. Mix. Combine the cornflour, mixed spice and cumin then sprinkle over the celeriac and mix well to coat. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan, once hot add the coated celeriac and cook for 10-15 minutes until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Place flatbread on a serving dish. Spread over half the dressing, top with salad leaves and the crispy celeriac. Drizzle over the balsamic glaze, sprinkle the seeds then enjoy!

Next up in my Sensationally Seasonal Series are mushrooms 🍄 I know a lot of people love to hate them but I think they are great and these Mini Dutch Baby Pancakes with Mushrooms are a different take on a big version I made last week on Morning Live ❤️ These would make a great breakfast, lunch or dinner and you can mix up what you fill them with 💕 Enjoy!
Ingredients
Pancakes
2 tbsp vegetable oil
100g plain flour
3 large eggs
150ml milk
½ tsp salt
1 tsp mixed herbs
Filling
20g butter
250g button mushrooms
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp cumin
Dressing
2 tbsp creme fraiche
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cumin
Method
Oven on 220C. Divide the vegetable oil between 6 muffin spaces in a muffin tin then pop in the oven.
In a bowl, mix the flour, eggs, milk, salt and mixed herbs then blitz with a stick blender or whisk well until smooth. Transfer to a jug. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Open the oven, pull out the tray with the pan on and pour in the batter evenly between the 6 muffin spaces (it should sizzle). Close the oven and bake for 20 minutes until risen (they should look like yorkshire puddings).
Whilst the pancake is cooking, prep the filling. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan then add the mushroom and cook for 5 minutes until starting to brown. Add the butter and the spices plus a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for a further 5 minutes. Mix the creme fraiche and spices together with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Retrieve the pancakes from the oven, slice open, spread the creme fraiche mixture over the base, sprinkle on the mushrooms, top with a sprinkle of salt and serve.
