This ginger shortbread is a must. It is adapted (very slightly) from Mary Berry’s Stem Ginger Shortbread recipe which is one of my favourite Mary recipes! The only change I made was to add a little more stem ginger, because I LOVE the stuff. Thank you Mary for such a fab recipe! …

Rocky Road
I had intended to make a fridge cake this morning. My niece had requested one as it is her new favourite but somewhere along the way the fridge cake has morphed into rocky road cake.

Guinness Brownies
