Baking for Boyfriends

My eldest daughter brought her boyfriend home for tea today, (1st boyfriend, 1st visit) so I thought I ought to try and impress him! Got this recipe for strawberry swirls from Lilly Higgins' lovely blog. They are very easy to make but I think I overcooked mine a little and they were slightly crisp on the outside so we had them with custard.



They were very tasty, and the boyfriend was very nice too. What a relief! I expect I will have a huge baking repertoire by the time my 5th is bringing his girls home,( he is 3 at the moment.)

  2. Thanks for the book recommendation - sounds very good. Chalfont St Giles is in Buckinghamshire (posh in bits) - one of those places people who work in London move out to - we've moved out here from Ealing London, so feels like the countryside to me! - Thanks for your comment today - you've inspired me to get going on my garden xxx

  3. I've just discovered your blog and had a read back through your previous posts, I've really enjoyed it and will return. The baking looks delicious. Glad the boyfriend visit went well, I'm not quite at that stage yet.
