Lemon Meringue Pie

Dear Diary,

I have recently decided to go round to my grandmas and bake with her, she has so many tricks that I felt I was just being silly by not learning them. I ended up having to make little notes of things she was saying just so I could try and remember them all!

We decided to start with 2 things that I had never made, pastry and meringue, and came up with lemon meringue pie all from scratch. To do that we started with a short crust pastry, something I thought was much harder that it turned out to be.

After the simple layer cake last time me and my baking friends decided to go for the fancy one we saw a recipe for, so the Chocolate and Caramel layer cake came along!

Chilli in Jacket Potato

Dear Diary,

I have been making chilli for years and it is something I always fall back on when I need to make something with scraps of ingredients, and somehow it always works out pretty well! I have been asked for a while to let people know how I do it so (even though it doesn’t look very pretty) I’ve decided to give it ago.

Jam Tarts

Dear Diary,


There was some leftover pastry from a previous pie made and so we decided to use it up and made some little jam tarts. I wanted to make something that wasn’t lemon as some people don’t like it so decided to go for jam J

Cheats Pizza

Dear Diary,


I'm afraid to say I cheated today L I wanted to make a pizza but didn’t have the time to make the dough or any sauce so I tried it the easy way.
