Ginger Spice Muffins

November 7, 2014 by Chantal Leave a Comment

Ginger Spice Muffins

These started out life as Nigella Lawson’s Christmas Muffins, from her illustrious Nigella Christmas cookbook.

Tomato Onion Jam

Tomato Onion Jam

I’ve long been looking for that one signature recipe that I could claim as my own, so that for all get togethers, people would say, “Chantal, can you make your…” You know what I mean, right? It’s that recipe that no one has, but everyone wants. Only, instead of asking you for the recipe (though […]
