All Hail Hanky Panky Pancakes

I may have said this before, things don't move particularly quickly in Chester and anything evenly mildly alternative is either a raging success or a tragic flop so when Hanky Panky Pancakes opened it's doors a couple of years ago it could have easily tipped in either direction. 

However, I am delighted to say that success was all that awaited this little eatery.

B's Bakes: Raw Vegan Cookie Dough Ice Cream

 

Is it just me or does ice cream stir up some serious flashbacks?

 

Maybe it's because it's such a seasonal delight; a nod to the sunshine filled summers of our childhood and windswept trips to the seaside with sand in hair and hair in mouth. Mushed up with jelly, at children's parties and trips to the ice cream parlours on visits to America where the toppings were more exciting than the flavour you chose!

Moonlit Screening at the Open Air Cinema

Last weekend marked the 24th birthday of my older brother Ted. To celebrate the occasion he requested that any, and all, of his available family members and friends join him at Chester's open air cinema for a picnic, white russians and a moonlit screening of The Big Lebowski. 

We were more than happy to oblige.

B's Bakes: Savoury Sweet Potato Muffins

For a long time, I was very unsure of how I felt about savoury cake. Give me any flavour of sugary sweet treat, but herbs and more than just a pinch of salt...no chance. It wasn't until I started experimenting with sundried tomatoes and cheese that I realised that just because I didn't want to inhale the raw batter, didn't mean the end result wouldn't be delicious.
