I discovered Chorizo a few months back and use it in all kinds of things. It is really good in shrimp creole.

it's a star-shaped shortbread biscuit with icing and hundreds-and-thousands sprinkled over.

That sounds so good. In this case, I may be thankful there is no Gregg's here, with all I have heard about the pasties and now this....  ;)

I can't walk past a Gregg's without popping in. You can always get something with just the change in your pockets..

Good Lord the stuff's greasy tho....but good

I was so, so SO excited when all the cra**y Baker's Ovens turned into Gregg's in Cambridge a few months ago.

Baker's Oven stuff was always dried out and just not very tasty.  I love Gregg's éclairs.

We had a run on the chouquettes from Paul's in London.  They're like cream puffs only without the cream.  But very more-ish.

I found a chocolate cake recipe that is so easy. I'm vegan so finding a simple vegan chocolate cake recipe that is this good really excites me!

I use wholemeal flour and reduce the sugar to 175g. For a frosting, I make a glaze with coconut oil, cocoa and sugar. Hubby loves it!
