Egg and Spinach Prosciutto Cups

These beautiful little breakfast cups are basically bacon and egg but with a delicious hit of iron. I make a couple for me and Paul or a trayful for house guests.

Danish Breakfast

Danish Breakfast is one of my favourite meals over Christmas. It’s so flavourful whilst also being packed full of protein, fibre, iron and omega-3.

Mincemeat and Orange Hotcakes

Nigel Slater’s classic Mincemeat Hotcakes are a festive staple in our house. I love them for breakfast or with a cup of spiced tea for elevenses.

Lemon Curd

Nothing is more radiant at a breakfast table than homemade lemon curd. This sweet and tart spread is easy to make it just needs some gentle whisking.
