Hobnobs are truly one of my top 2 favourite biscuits of all time. Only beaten by custard creams. So you can imagine my joy when I discovered just how tasty these oaty biscuits are.
If you like your biscuits crunchy, cook them for longer; if you like them more cookie like, then simply reduce the cooking time. Both taste excellent.

I love them. They are the perfect biscuit if you are looking for a sweet treat with a cuppa.

When Louloo was a toddler, I took her to some Surestart cooking classes. It was these classes that pushed me into starting my own cooking classes. In one of them, we made fruit cakes and baked the mixture in an empty tuna tin. I was thinking about this while I was making my Christmas cakes this morning, and it got me wondering whether it would work for mini Christmas cakes.
The recipe I use is my favourite Christmas cake recipe. It’s the one I have used for the past 20 years, and it really is so easy that even the children can make them.
So here we go – the perfect mini Christmas cakes. Guess what my teacher gifts are going to be this year.

I don’t make pumpkin soup. If I’m honest, I’m not really a huge fan of it. The big ones are flavourless. We only buy them to carve Jack o’lanterns for Hallowe’en, so I used a butternut squash instead.
I am trying to reduce our consumption of meat. A few vegetarian friends of mine have suggested using more squash, and here’s my first attempt.
