If you’re a peanut addict, you’ll agree that there’s simply no point having a peanut cookie that isn’t chock-full of peanuts, and this one fits the bill nicely.

These recipes are for bakers of all skill levels and use ingredients that are already tucked away at the back of your pantry. If you've always wanted to perfect that sponge cake or want that perfect bread recipe, now is that time to experiment!

Certain things are loved all over the world. Coffee, chocolate and éclairs are three of them, so combine these to create an amazing taste sensation that will instantly arouse your taste buds. The classic éclair is part of the foundations of French culinary history. It is likely to have been invented in the nineteenth century by Antoine Carême, one of the most celebrated original French pastry chefs, billed as the first celebrity chef and the craftsman behind Napoleon’s wedding cake. 

Create a pretty Easter theme with assorted Easter-related cookie cutters. If you can’t find bunny- or egg-shaped cutters, make paper templates, lay over the cookie dough and carefully cut out using a small, sharp knife. These Easter bunnies are made with a large cutter, but feel free to use a smaller breed!

Making bread can be a relaxing way to spend your time at home. Simple and economical to make, you can knock up this soda bread in less than an hour when you have unexpected guests, when you want some lovely warm bread with your meal, or when you have some milk that has gone sour in the fridge. Baked either freeform or in a baking pan, this bread is fantastic eaten plain on the day it was made (especially with a green salad tossed in a sharp dressing), great toasted on day two and ready for the birds by day three. It’s not a good keeper, but it always gets eaten really quickly!
